u. S. PROPOSES TO BUY
ISLANDS FROM COLOMBIA
Seeks Strategic Possessions Off Pam
anna in Exchange for $25, 900, 900
Payment in New Treaty.

Changes in the treaty with Colombia
by which the United States would gain
several important military points in
the vicinity of the Panama Canal for
S25. 100000 are under consideration by
the State Department in. the hope that
enough republican votes will be gained
in the Senate to secure ratification.
The old treaty. withdrawn at the
special Senate session when 1t became
apparent it could not be ratified, mere
ly proAided payment of indemnity by
the United States and a mutual ex-
preston of regret for i'll feeling over
the partition of Panama.
The new treaty is expected to omit
the expression of regret. but to pro-
vide for cesson by Colombia of the
Islands of St. Andrews and New Prov
idence, off the Panama coast, and OF
the Atrato river canal route. The is
lands are looked upon as of strategic
value. Provisions of this character
were in the first treaty negotiated
with Panama by Secretary Knox, in
the Taft administration.
Secretary Lansing is said to have re-
ceived assurances. that these changes
would give the treaty good chance
of ratification. The administration has
been anxious to put 1t through to
strengthen friendly relations with Gen.
trail and South America.

COUNTRY TO Be SHORT
ONE BILLION TIN CANS
Department of Commerce Reports on
Conditions Facing Industry
in United States.

A shortage Of approximately 100000
900 tin cans confronts the canning in
dust1es Of the country, according to esti-
mates made yesterday by canning inter-
ests and Department of Commerce Off
Gals :
Nearly 5000. 0O0, 900 cans were used last
year in all branches Of the industry. The
demand this year is said to be about
double that. and Gamers are hoping to
increase their output so per cent Only
1000. 100000 tin cans are in sight, and
the manufacture of this amount bids fair
to be delayed considerably because of
transportation difficulties and shortage of
steel for plate. A shortage Of block tin.
imported from British colonies and Great
Britain. also is threatened
Principal railroads have notified the
Department Of Commerce that embargoes
placed on plate, steel and block tin, had
been lifted and that everything possible
is being done to expedite their shipment.
committee of six government officials
and representatives Of plate and canning
interests has undertaken to make an in
ventory Of the Gamers requirements.
Should the necessary number of tin cans
be forthcoming from manufacturers, 1t Is
said. the price of canned goods probably
will remain at the present level which is
an increase over last years price of about
rs per cent. In one industry alone-the
canning of gray fisl-the shortage Is said
to approximate 100000 cans.
