Periodically in the last two and d half years or, whenever it has seemed in Washington that new sources of revenue must be found intimations have been given that Panama Canal bonds, authorized by Congress to be issued, but in the main be withheld, from sale would be pu: upon the market with the view of replenishing the treasury. The latest word on this subject is to the effect that a pro-
 posal to use s125, ,OO0 of the issue to make good the defici: in the reve- nues for 1918, anticipated by Secretary McAdoo, will at once go before the House Ways and Means Committee. The facts in the case show that an in
 teresting problem is involved in this proposition. Congress authorized in Panama Canal bonds $240,000,000 more .han have ever been issued, the great CT part of the cost of the waterway having been defrayed from the ordi-

nary revenues. In order to take up this additional burden there was d constant strain upon the revenues dur ing the Taft Administration, but it was thought wiser to bear this than to subject financial conditions to the disturbance likely To result from an effort on the par; of the Government, to float loan at 3 per cent at d time when money was worth much more to banks and general investors.
 There was d strong protest from financial interests, during President Taft's Administration, against any move in the direction of floating these bonds, the ground being taken that in offering them the Governme1: would lower the Va1ue of invested money generally, and these protests were effectual. A year ago, when it was again proposed to unload this "cheap" issue upon the market, ob- iections were equally numerous and strong It is no: likely that, should the Way and Means Committee agree 10 the proposal in the present session, bill making it operative can be car ried through Congress without stub born resistance from the money inter ests.
 The latter have a plausible ground for opposition. There is no good req son why investors should take up a United States Government bond issue
