CANAL PROJECT
INDEFINITELY
PUT OFF
Harding Action on Nicaragua
Project No Surprise to Those
Familiar With Plan.
Cosmouolltan News Service.

The abandonment by President
Harding of the Nicaragua canal
project, as announced today, was
not unexpected by those in Wash
ington who are familiar with canal
matters.
The Panama canal commission es-
Inmates that the present canal will
not reach its peak load of service
for thirty years, working on an
eight-hour basis. If additional
eight-hour shifts are put on, this
period will be greatly heightened.
1t was pointed out that it is prac-
tically impossible, and certainly not
expected, that maritime commerce
shall so increase as to warrant con-
struction Of another canal for COM
mercial purposes for many years to
come.
The chief value Of the Nicaragua
project lies in the fact that it
would be less hazardous as a mill
tary menace, as it shortens the dis
lance from our coasts and forts to
the line we might have toj protect.
Therefore, from a commercial
viewpoint, as the Panama canal
commission shows in it's statistics,
there is no need for additional
ocean-to-ocean canal facilities.
The world military situation, it
is believed by competent observers,
does not warrant the conclusion
that q Nicaragua canal is neces-
sary, but on the other hand that
the menace of another great war
is subsiding.
These facts, taken in connection
with the tremendous cost of the
Nicaragua project, it was pointed
out, brush away any presumed good
reasons for the United States un-
dertaking another canal venture for
many years to come.

PARK
PERMITS ARE
HANDICAP
Restrictions Separate Needs
of Autoists by Mile Be-
tween Stations.
By TOM EVERRITT.
Cosmopolitan News Service.

A mile separates the bread and
butter in Yosemite National Park.
Many years ago the Federal Gov
eminent issued two permits to do
business in the Yosemite Valley;
one to hotel company, the other
to a concern which established a
tourists camp, each with privileges
not granted the other. They are a
mile apart. In those days few
people visited the park but in these
days of the automobile thousands
vacation there.
Mile From Milk To Eggs.
The original permits made the
concessions exclusive, and so it
happens if the occupants of the
$4,000 automobiles that annually
visit the valley stop at the camp
where bread is sold, they have to
get their butter at the hotel a mile
away; they can get milk at one
place, they have to go mile to
get cheese or eggs; the same mile
separates the fruits from the vege-
toOACS, SOOhCu III uIICS are All OIIc
place, but raw prunes are in the
other, apples may be had here, but
potatoes are over there a mile
away; if the tourists need gas, and
are putting up at the camp, they
are a mile from the only gas sta
ton.
Seek Permit Changes.
Elsewhere in the State of Cali.
fornia, there is a service garage
for every 300 autos: but only one
in Yosemite National Park into
which as many as $50 machines
have passed in one day, and it is
said to be impossible for any ma
chine to cross the Sierra Nevada
without mourning the
need for repairs.
The conditions are so absurd rep.
resentatives of the California State
Automobile Association, aided by
the Automobile Association of
America, together with the owners
of the camp concern, are in Wash
ington to get the permits changed
to fit modern necessities.
Congressman MacLafferty of Cal
ifornia was called upon to umpire
the affair. He called in Assistant
Secretary of Interior Finney, who,
in turn, was so bewildered at the
situation. that he called in Secre-
tary Fall. An adjustment is ex-
pected this week.

ARMAMENT PLAN
NEARING DEADLOCK
French Objection Likely to
Kill League Blockade
Proposal.
By the Associated Press.

ny Ine Associated fresS-
GENEVA, July 1O-The league of
nations appears to be moving toward
a deadlock in it's efforts to bring
about a general reduction of arma-
ments. The special committee that
was to draft. for proposal to all
league members. a general treaty to
that end. with a mutual pact of guar
antee to give effect to Article Y OF
the covenant, has failed to accomplish
anything. 1t is divided between the
Cecil project for q general guaran-
tee pact and a French substitute
providing for limited agreements be-
tween two or more members.
The success of any such project
calls for the assurance of security
to such countries as France and
Poland, which make 1t requisite
condition to any reduction in arma-
ments. The French delegation in
sists that the Cecil project for a
general guarantee pact does not give
that security because several of the
smaller members of the league. such
as Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and
Sweden. have made it clear that they
will remain outside Of it. These
countries are not counted upon to
furnish military aid under such an
agreement. but their absence from
the combination, it is argued, would
make it impossible to apply the
blockade to Germany, for instance,
and, under the league covenant, the
blockade is the first weapon that
would be used against prospective
aggressor.
Cecil and his friends point out that
the French project for regional
agreements between two or more
members tenus only to the perpetual
ton of the old system of alliances
and the development of groups of
powers hostile to one another such
as existed before the world war.

Parliament Soon to Adjourn
Until OCt0ber-EIeCtionS

PARIS, july 1O.-Following various
interior political perturbations there
is good reason to believe that the
Poincare government will continue
to direct the destinies of France TOT
the rest of the present year. Prlor
TO the Ruhr occupation the position
of the Poincare ministry was decld-
eddy unstable.
Three months later it was again
subjected to strong attacks from
both left and right. The right re-
preached Poincare with being too
far to the left and the left reproach-
ed him with going too far 10 tne
right. His personal ambition Is SAID
to be to form a party of the center,
including the left wing of the bloc
national" and the right wing OF the
new left bloc.
Thus far NJ Poincare has made no
progress along this line. The French
parliament remains divided into two
strong blocs, one right and one left
with the communist and royalists
standing aioof at the opposite ex-
tremes and the right commanding
majority.
1t is now generally expected, how
ever, that the coming elections VIII
swing the balance of parliamentary
power from the right toward the
left. All the recent partial elections
have been Won by the radicals. These
indications have virtually silenced
Poincares critics on the right, the
chief among whom was Andre Tar
dfeu. Thus it can be said that the
successes of the left have strength
ened rather than weakened the
premiers position.
Parliament will adjourn on July
-. When it meets again in october
the campaigns for the Sena torial
elections of next January and the
election of deputies next April will
pc well under way. At such times
legislators are preoccupied with
election problems and it is rare that
governments are overturned during
such a campaign. For all these rea-
sons careful observers are predict
ing that the first of next year will
find M. Poincare still presiding over
the French ministry.
