Changes in Administration and Policies Recommended in Report Submitted by Commission at End of Probe WEATHER—Unsettled and cooler tonight, possibly rain in east portion Friday; generally fair and cooler in south portion. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—(By The Associated Press.) — Through reorganization of the administrative machinery in the Panama canal zone, with radical changes in existing poli- cies affecting employment of labor, physical operatibn of the canal and railroad, pay of employes and other important sub- jects is recommended in the preliminary report submitted to BRIT Tot WOULD KEEP ENTENTE ALIVE, REPORT Delegates at Washington Con- ference May Work Togeth- er, Says Correspondent of London Times, LONDON, Oct. 6—The London Times’ Paris correspondent suggests the possibility of renewal and consol! dation of the entente through the French and British delegates working together at the Washington confer. ence in the general cause of peace. Relative to the French and British dif. ferences, he says, what the French cannot understand “is the persistent Neglect of British statesmen to meet them open-mindedly and examine in @ apirit of friendly frankness, all out- standing causes of difference and strike .an honest balance wherever identity of row = impossible. “I have recent» believe,” adds the corresponden,. “fiat proposals of this nature have repectedly been made from leading Frenchmen to leading representatives of Great Britain, but no response has been noticeable up to the present.” Editorially the Times emphasizes the value “the conference spirit” may prove. to Anglo-French relations. Washington advices say the paper. afford a fresh evidence of President Harding's desire jthat the spirit of co- operation should prevail, citing the news that the United States and Ja- panthave agreed to the reopening of the Yap-Guam cable, and the issue of invitations to Belgium, Holland and Portugal to attend the conference. He etae cams oterad Pec which recently Investigated conditions in the canal zone at his request. The commission estimated that an/| annual saving of $5,000,000 would re- sult from adoption of its suggestions, Chief among the recommendations is that the governor of the canal gone be directed “not to make agreements or understandings with the canal em- ployes or any clase thereof, for any pertod of time, but that the wages be Periodically adjusted in accordance with law, which bases the canal wages on the pay of similar employes in the government service in the United States” and, that the governor. shall “not deal with labor organizations as organizations, but @hail deal with committees of employes.” “It is further recommended,” the report says, “that the open shop prin- ciple be actually put into effect on the isthmus and that in all departments a substantial proportion of non union men be employed.” Asserting that it has failed to find anything to justify continued expend!- ture of canal funds to maintain a na- val base. at the canal, the report rec- ommends that operation of various fa- ellities for naval purposes “cease im- mediately,” and that hereafter the 1 Secretary Weeks by the commission | | canal be operated entirely as com- mercial agency, until congress shall otherwise tndicate.”” Finding the employment of. “United States white citizens” Instead of na- tives to be another item of expense, the commission recommends that tropical workers be employed “to the extent possible, taking into consider- ation the fact that the canal ts, to a certain point, an element of national defense” and that there may be cer- tain ‘positions in which aliens ought not to be employed. The commission firmly belleves— that if the recommendations are adopt- ed the returns to the government will increase year by year and that with- in a period of 10 or 15 years, the canal will return a fair income on the in- vestment of the federal government therein, “but the report ‘adds and esti- mates the total cost to date of the canal at approximately $500,000,000, The commission was headed by: Brig. Gen. W. D. Connor, assistant ehbjef of staff; Captain A. B. Fry of the treasury department; F. A. Moll- tor, New York engineer, and H. P.
