CIVILIAN RULE
 PROPOSED FOR CANAL TERRITORY

Panama, April 20-Civilian, gov ernment of the Panama Canal Aolle under the Department or ConlIaercs Or the Department of the Interior ana effective suffrage for civilian Amer ican citizens residing in the Canal Zone are two of the objects sought by the newly formed G1v1lan Eeasus @ of the Canal Zone The zone Is iio" a military reservation
 ssThe League has been keeping Tn touch with proposed leg1siatlon oy Congress affecting the Canal zone; said M. J. White, president, and It has discovered that parties not con, nected with the zone have attempted to secure the enactment or plils submitted by them which would not prove applicable or beneficial to the zone.'
 A statement issued by the League declares that "the military branch or our government is using it's lnfluence to have the canal cons1dered Prl- nlari1y as a military project" and
 ssThe League takes the position that the business interests Of the Cnlleu States demand the fullest commerclai development of the canal; that, as far as possible, the same form or
 government that exists in the Unlted
 States should apply in the Satai ttaI Zone; that the civilian citizens of t1e limited States residing in the zone should have a voice in the affairs or | the zone; that the zone shGulo De thrown open to Americans who want var 10 own property and settle in It, the same as in the District of Columbia; :; | that the army and navy, while per | nlitted to do any and all necessary | defensive work for the protecuon oI | the canal should be entirely separ- ate and distinct from the government | of the Canal Zone"
 Specific demand is made that | Congress grant the right or SUI frage to civilian Americans residing | in the zone authorizing them to elect | a resident commissioner to represent ! them at Washington, in the same l manner as the present resloenl com noissioners of the Philippine Islands 1 and Porto Rico.

 Miss Marjory Cheney of South Man chester, a. member of the Commission, has received information from Mas sachusetts, Maryland, Ohio, New ter Sey and other states which bears out the contention that the method of caring for neglected children in pri- Vlte homes, rather than institutions, Is both better and cheaper.
