PANAMA CANAL PROFITS.

A semi-ofiiclai Washington dispatch
given out ON Wednesday says com
placently; "for the fourth consecutive
iiscal year the Panama Caral in 1921
showed a profit. The excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures in the year
ending June 80 last was given as ap-
proximately S2,712,000."
That is doing very well for 9overn-
ment operation, and promises even
better things when economies of opera
tion produce the promised results
Nevertheless. so long as excess of cash
received over cash spent Is repre-
scnted as profit 1t Is necessary to
challenge the statement. Interest on
capital on lower terms than even the
treasury can borrow would absorb
several times the prof1ts named. Al
lowance also should be made for
amortization OF capital. and for re-

NEW aBLoC- SYSTEM.

The political biparty system in the
United States has resisted all con-
scious efforts 20 change IL. Since the
war between the states it has re-
sisted all attempts TO substitute a
new party for one of the old ones.
The Progressive party failed to work
because Il rested on one personality
which abandoned II. And after all,
men are politicians. Had Progressive
ism absorbed Republicanism It would.
In all probability, be doing little other
today than is being done by the Re-
publicans. Senators Johnson and
Borah, though leading Rooseveltians,
have dictated the Republican policy
OF today about as much as Lodge and
Penrose.
1t has been noted in the past two
or three years, however, that a change
is taking place in political party sys-
tenn and method. A correspondent Of
the Post-Dispatch has pointed out that
p .rty leadership is fast losing every
thing but the name, and in it's place
Is rising the bloc" system. which OPP
crates in disregard OF party lines. The
various "blocs' are enumerated as
belonging respectively TO the agricul-
turists. the prohibitionists, the river
boosters, the Pacific anti-Orientallsts,
and so on. II is expected that even
tually there viii be railroad. business,
Eastern, Western and Southern blocs.
The American bloc system differs
from the European system in that IL
precipitates on lines OF interest, To-
cality or cause rather than on lines
Of political doctrine. 1t differs from
soyietism in that its lines are inter-
woven or overlapping, as are its con-
stituencies. There is no parallel or
precedent OF the American bloc sys-
TEN. So far AS we know, it rs a new
animal on the face of the earth. II is
the inevitable product OF our refusal
formally TO admit that our old party
lines. with reference 10 principle, don't
! mean anything.--St. Louis Post-Dis-
