POINTS TO LESSON - | INPANAA CANAL ‘Col. Jay J. Morrow Declares Operation Is Proof of Gov- & ernmental Efficiency. The Panama canal offers proof that %he government can and does suc- cesstully operate a big business, Col. Jay J. Morrow, Governor of the Pana- ma Canal Zone, declared at a meeting of tho Washington Sociely of Civil Engineers at the Interior Department ‘last night. The canal is of t impor- o to this nation’s coastwise busi- id, adding that the most important trade through the ganal at present is that between the two seahoards of the United States. Traffic has grown to an average of about ten ships a day, each of the last three months having established new records for transits and tolls, he added. : “The Panama canal is not merely i connecting the ns” said Col. Morrow, “but is a vast business enterprise and a civil government over a territory of nearly 500 square mi with a mixed popu- lation, and all of us ate. warking with to the ships is nd all other func- diary to that.
