In letter sent this afternoon TO
Secretary of the Navy Denby the

sociation formally announced it's in
cention to commence Immediately
survey of the commercial potential
tiles of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal
The association will send a boost

The letter to Secretary DENLY fol-
lows:
Text Of Letter.
Investigating further the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal matter. as We
wrote you on April Is. / am directed
to. advise that steps are under way to
develop business for the canal.
The survey that will be undertaken
by committee of the Merchants and
. Manufacturers Association will deter
m inc for all time the practica bility or
the canal for the transportation of raw
materials and finished products in both
directions
Naturally such an undertaking will
require some little time, and it will be
matter of months before possibilities
are realized
The predicament which the canal
faces due to the possible loss of busi-
ness with the government. came to our
attention but recently. and we there
fore, pray that business heretofore en-
joyed by the canal with the government
be continued for the present.
We realize full we'll that government
officials have definite responsibilities
with respect to government purchases.
since any economies that are realized
for the government are for the benefit
of business as well as the public at
/ large.
Public Benefit Impressed.
But business experience teaches,
too. that spot purchases do not al
ways work a permanent advantage.
save in the event that the source
previously drawn on has failed to per-
form in the matter Of quality, service
and price.
TT would seem. however. that in the
matter of common carrier, such as
! canal. the public interest is best
served by the giving of such aid as
is consistent with public benefits.
From the earliest period in the
countrys history inland waterways
have proven a boon to America. 1t
would seem to be a great mistake,
therefore. if in this age condition

VIEWS ON UNDESIRABLE
ALIENS NOT FROM HUGHES
Secretary Made No Recommends
tions to Congress. But Only Trans
mitted officials Statements.

By the Associated Press
Protests are continuing to be made
to the State Department as result of
an Associated Press dispatch which
incorrectly stated that Secretary
Hughes had recommended to Congress
rigid restrictions on immigration and
had characterized immi grants of Ger
Let's, Lithuanians. Russians. Ar
menians. Persians and others, as un-
de 81 ia BILE.
In reply to all these the State De-
partment is pointing out that Secre-
tary Hughes made no recomme enda-
teriZations of any class of immi-
grants. His letter to Representative
Johnson Of Washington. chairman of
the House immigration committee.
was purely formal one transmitting
'paraphrased abstracts of reports
concerning immigration received from
officials of this government who have
been abroad"
1t was in the appendix of para
phrases prepared by bureau of the
of>immi grants were characterized un-
favorably and that certain abstract
recommendations of agents were re-
ferred to.
The statement that the recommends
tions were those of Secretary Hughes
and that the characteriZations were
his own was an error which the Asso-
ciated Press regrets and in fairness
to Mr.. Hughes readily Acknowledges
Of its own accord
Many representatives in Congress-
however, having foreign born con-
stituencies. although acknowledging
that the paraphrases of the reports
to which they object were not those
OF the Secretary. complain of their
Transmission and publication as COM
ing Srom the State Department, with
an official letter Of transmittal from
its head. They also are protesting
to the department on the ground that
the statements are incorrect
The raphrase of the reports con-
ceded that there are. of course many
individual exceptions" to the classes
which were characterized as undesir-
able immigrants. but the representa-
. tiveS nevertheless take exception to
the document. While Secretary
Hughes personally signed the letter
of transmittal. it is understood that
he did not personally read the re-
ports. which were attached in the
usual manner in which replies to
congressional requests for informa
ton are prepared.
Although the officials who prepared
the paraphrases edited them vigor-
ously before they were permitted to
go forward. they are frank in saving
they feel now they did not edit them
vigorously enough. The original re-
ports in some instances went much
farther than the paraphraseS in the
cbaracteriZations which are being oh
jected to.
