One of the striking evidences of
| Americas rapid rise toward CONNER
cial and industrial leadership of the
world, is the Panama Canal, will al
most certainly handle more freight in
1926 than will Suez. For several years
the two canals have been In neck
and neck competition whose implica-
tons are the more interesting be-
cause the Panama ditch is owned by
the American Government, and that
at Suez by the British Government
OF course both Canals are open to
the ships of all nations; and the
competition between them is not only
between the United States and Brit
ain, but In larger and even more
significant view 1t Is competition be-
tween old world and new world.
When the Panama Canal was open
ed in 1915, Suez was already transit
ing about 25,ooo,ooo tons of freight
annually. Almost nobody believed
Panama could ever attract anything
approaching such volume. - &gr
ing the war fear OF Germaa ssfAma-
rines in the Mediterranean caused
many vessels to take the Panama
route between the far east and Eu-
ropean or American ports. This gave
Panama its Introduction and 1t has
not only held but greatly increased
its business since the war. In 1923
Panama transited 5o37 vessels,
against 1921 for Suez; Panama han
died 25,160,O00 cargo tons against o..
10000 for Suez. This was the first
year Of Panama's lead.
A Close Race
The following year Suez barely ex
ceeded Panama's TONNAGE and in
1925 comfortably held its lead. But
reports for 1926 to date Indicate that
Suez is losing, owing to Britain's in
dustrial depression, while Panama IS
doing better and is pretty certain to
resume the lead.
The present Suez Canal has been
In operation nearly sixty years, Pan
anna only eleven. Although few peo-
pie except antiquarians know it, the
first canal at Suez was built more
than 5000 years ago. 1t was in OPP
GRAFTON as early as B. G. 1880; how
long before, is mere conjecture. Be-
fore the Christian era began the ditch
had been built, destroyed, rebuilt
silted up and built up again, time
after time. When Alexander the
Great conquered Egypt the Ca
nal was one of the oldest of engi-
neering works
Between 1904 and 1915 the present
Panama Canal was constructed. It
cost about $500, 100000, Suez about
one-fourth that sum. But Suez is a
simple, sea-level ditch across a sandy
plain; while Panama Is a lock canal
the greater part Of its length lying
IS feet above sea level, so that most
of the distance from ocean to ocean
is through an artificial freshwater
lake
Early Profits Unexpected
When Roosevelt started building
at Panama, neither he nor any other
prophet of optimism would have
dared suggest that within it's first
decade the Canal would earn a profit.
Its chief justification concerned the
national defense, and the establish
ment of competition with the trans
continental railroads.
Although both Canals are open to
shipping of all nations, British YES
sells constitute the majority of those
using Suez (55.S per cent?, while
American vessels are 54.5 per cent OF
hose using Panama.
For 1924, ships Of 81 nations used

THE NEW COMET

BERLIN, Nov. 25.-Drs. Schwass-
mann and Wachmann Of the Hamburg
astronomical observatory have, with
the said of photography, discovered a
new comet located in the Constellation
of Fishes and has the brightness of a
star of the thirteenth or fourteenth
magnitude, making it invisible to the
naked eye.
The same two astronomers also dis
covered new star three days before
their announcement of the discovery
of the comet. The star is in the Con-
stellation of Orion, now in the south
eastern evening skies.
.- =
The new star discovered in Orion is
one that has suddenly become bright
enough to be recorded on astronomical
instruments. Such discoveries are
the result of formerly faint stars
that could not be recorded suddenly
exploding and becoming bright for a
time. Stars are suns, centers of solar
systems. The one discovered few
nights ago by the German astrono-
mers is 1000 light years from the
earth. That means that the light that
left the Constellation 1000 years ago,
travelling at the velocity of $4,000
miles a second has only now reached
the earth. This tremendous distance,
that cannot be reckoned except in
light years, gives one some concep-
ton of the immensely of the universe.

A LIVE STREAM
CA Sketch)

celebrating on the 10th anniversary
of the revolution a unique and IN
precedented achievement. Turnout
the uyezds there are no more Hitter
ate people. Among the 10000 peas
ant and working class population
there is not a single home industry
worker, not a single peasant or peas
ant woman and worker who cannot
read and write.
This achievement is entirely due to
the Soviet power and to the untiring
voluntary work of Soviet society as
represented by the Society Down
with Illiteracy." The cultural move
ment in the uyezd has attracted the
best forces among the working class
and peasant youth. There is an en-
ormous thirst for knowledge among
the peasant population, adolescents
and adults alike.
Hundreds of characterization
Institutions have sprung up on the
ground fortified by the October rev.
olution like mushrooms after a life
giving rain. Turnout the Sergiev
Uyezd there is a considerable number
of cultural GASES: $50 first grade
schools for peasant and working class
children; 100 Red Corners, IL read
ing rooms, so schools for semi-liter-
ate people, and 48 schools for people
who cannt read and write, libraries,
perambulating libraries in every vii
lage including the remotest. Ninety
five per cent of the children attend
schools which are preparing strong
young reserves for the cultural rev.
olution.
How many illiterate people have
been taught here to read and write ?
At first the number of illiterates was
enormous, but by perseverance it
was possible to liquidate the illiteracy
and ignorance of these people and to
make them useful members of the
Soviet State. In the course of three
years 5000 people have been taught
to read and write thru the efforts of
the Down with Illiteracy Society"
and the Soviet State. One can say
that 5000 blind people have been CIV
en- their sight in the literal sense of
the term. Among them are home
industry workers, peasant girls, peas
ants and working men and women.
But having reached this cultural lev
ell, the population asks for more:
Give us knowledge.
This cry is heard at all peasant
meetings, at workers meetings, m
schools and homes. Give us Ksowl-
edge and we will learn quickly to
till the soil properly and to manage
our farms on new lines. To be with
out knowledge is like being without
eyes,-say the peasants. One must
say that literacy acquired by such
gigantic efforts is working miracles
in agriculture. There are model cor
ners in connection with intensive cul
ture.
Here as everywhere the beacon Of
Lenin's genius is shining bright.
