made no offer of this guaranty as an
indpcement to the carriers to resume
operation of their respective proper
ties. No property rights exists in ia
vor Of the carriers, as they were not
required to perform any service of
any character, or make any sacrifice,
or incur any expense in behalf Of the
Government in consideration of the
guaranty. Now, why should the
transportation act be changed five
months after being put into effect on
August 26th, last, in order to go into
an already depleated treasury and
draw this money ahead of the time
contemplated in the original act"
Secretary of the Treasury Houston
is also vigorously opposing the
amendment as he thinks it would
open the way for fraud if the treas
ury is directed to advance millions Of
dollars before the Governments liaL
bility is definitely ascertained.
"The compensation to which the
carriers may be entitled for the use
of their properties during the period
of federal control is adequately pro-
vided for elsewhere" said Secretary
Houston. 81 can think of no reason
why the claims Of the carriers in res
pect to this bountiful act of the Gov
eminent should be relieved from the
application of the safeguards erected
for the benefit of the Government in
its accounting system and its usual
and orderly procedure for payment of
claims in the same manner as such
safeguards and procedure are applied
to claimants for compensation for
property or services rendered the
Government. The proposed manda-
tory provision directed at the Comp
troller Of the Treasury appears to be
analogues to the futile, but world
over, endeavor of defeated litigants
t odevise a statutory direction to the
judicial officer to decide all cases in
their favor" John D. Irwin, in

Dear Sir:-Just few lines to let you
know that am with the Pacific fleet.
We arrived in Balboa from San Die
go, Calf, Jan. 18th.
We are to meet the Atlantic fleet
here then proceed to Valparaiso, Chilli
and way points, returning to San
Francisco about March Goth for re-
pairs and get ready for the cruise
around the world, beginning June 1.
am on destroyer that will make
81 knots (3s miles, per hour-that is
going some on water. It is 2750
miles from San Diego, Calf, to Bal
boa. We made it in 10 days, but we
were with the fleet and could not
speed up.
There is some weather here now
sure hot, and they call it winter time.
Every one who can should make
the trip through the canal We went
through there yesterday. 1t is some-
thing wonderful. In some places it
looks like they cut through the noun
tains. The length Of the canal be-
tween final station and The deep wa
ter in the two oceans is 1884 nau-
teal miles or about so land miles. The
width of the canal in the sea level is
500 feet. In Gatum Lock it is from
500 to 1000 feet. In the cut it is at
least 300 and in Meraflares Lake 500
feet. The depth in the Atlantic Sea
level section where the tidal range is
az feet at tide. The depth of the ca
nal at normal depth is as feet. It is
claimed that the canal can handle
48 average ships in day of "a hours.
1t sure saves lot of distance now
from San Francisco to New York.
The old way was 1895 miles and by
the canal it is 5,262 miles, saving
1873 miles.
There are lots of places of interest
around here. Old ruins and cathe-
drals, and old walls.
