Phenomenal Increase Due to

WASHINGTON, November
19.—)8y Associated Press.)
Operations of the Panama canal
and auxiliary agencies during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1923,
were record-breaking in volume
both as to financial returns to
the United States government
and aid rendered world ship
ping, the annual report of Gov
ernor Morrow, just made public,
shows. 1 From the financial
standpoint, the canal netted a
profit of $12,063,680 from all
sources excluding the Panama
Railroad Steamship fine, as com
pared with $9,201,61 3 in the fis
cal year 1922'V.nd, traffic opera
tions increased on a scale that
has brought the v.aterway to a
point of "rapidly overhauling the
Suez canal/'
The net income from tolls and
otter miscellaneous receipts group
ed under the herd of "transit rev
enue” was $10,001,066 in 1923 ns
compared with $3,466,674 the pre
ceding year. The net profits from
auxiliary operation: totalled sl,-
140,642 as against $323,259, while
those conducted by the Panama
Railroad company excluding the
steamship operation*, showed a
profit of $922,171 against a loss of
$710,301 in 1022.
Governor Morrow’s report also
shows that a‘ number of commerical
transits increased from 2,736 to
3,976; net tonnage from 11/ 417,-
459 to 18,605,786; tolls froth sll,-
197,832 io $17,508,199 and cargo
<onnafe from 10,884.UJ0 to 19,-
\ 567, $75.
“The growth of the
past the report continues,
“was not, anticipated and is in a
sense abnormal. It is due primarily
to the development of oil fields in
Southern California, Which has sup

source of supply for the eastern

f oil,is furnihigsg 60 per cfnt, of the
eastbound cargo and tinker ton
nage in either direction is approxi
mately as great as all other com
mercial tdnnage combined.”
Governor Morrow explains that
it is problematical and points out
that the possible discovery and dc-
VClupmerit of new fields may cause'
the volume of trade In that com-
J modify to decline as rapidly as it
; grew. He adds that important con
tracts have been made, extending
over long periods, and, at the pres
ent Hime he sees no indication of
a slump. .
Japan was the sole nation among
the maritime powers of the world
to show a decrease in its shipping
through the canal in the fiscal year
of 1923. All others shared in the
mcieased traffic and sent
tonnage through the water way in
1923 than they did ip 1922.
“The United States made the
k gains,” the report says,
“increasing from 1,095 vessels to
1,994 ' and carrying “56-5-per cent
of the, average cargo moving
through the canal; British vessels
2Q-2 per cent; Japanese 4-8 ond
Norwegians’ 3.”
An. analysis tff the traffic 'thru
the canal by principal trade routes
shows the most notable increase
was in the United States inter
coastal trade. This traffic increas
ed from 2,562,527 tops to 8,068,-
553. . ,
“There is also a great increase,”
the report adds, "in trade between
the east coast of the United States
and the west coast of South Amer
ica, cargo moving over this route
in both directions increasing from
793,123 tons in 1922 to 2,954,523
71 1923. Chilean nitrates and iron,
ore and Peruvian oil were the lost
important single items in the total.
“The trade between the east
coast of the United States and the
Far East fell of from 2,031,487 |
cargo tons in 1922 to 1,909,285 I
cargo tons! in 1923.
“The trade between the west,
coast of the United Slates and Eu- !
rope showed a slight decline in car-]
go handled, which was balanced by
an increase in the trade between Eu
rope and western Canada. If the (
two sets of’ statistics are combined j
as is logical, since, vessels trading >
to the west coast of North Amer- |
ica commonly call at both Canadian I
and United States ports and it is
"difficult to make an accurate seg
regation of corgo'* on the basis of
the declarations tiled at the Pana
ma Canal, then the cargo handled
I etween the west, coast of North
America and-. Europe, both direc
tic,ns' included, shows an increase
front' 2,058,704 tons in 1922 to 2,-
511,791 tons in 1923, or approxi
mately 22 per cent. j
"The trade between Europe and
the west coast of South America
increased from 946,931 cargo tons
in 1922 to 1,759,986 cargo tons in
1923.
“These aye the imports,nt trades
through the eanal and account for
83.4 per cent o fall cargo handled.
Os the minor. trades, that between
Europe an<r Australia continued to
decline, but there was an increase
in the trade between the*east coast
of the United States and Austral
asia-.” A
In reviewing the affairs of gov
ernment in the Canal Zone during
the- last fiscal year, 'Governor Mor
row says correspondence with the
Republic of Panama was exclusive
ly of a routine nature. In the mat
ter of the proposed treaty between
the United) States and the Republic
of Panama, he adds:
“A general revision of the ex- j
isting agreements' between the i
United States and the Republic of
Panama embodied in the Hay-Bu- (
nau Vainilla treaty, the so-caled
Tait agreement and the interpreta
tions that have teen placed upon
both, affecting the operatoin of the
canal and the reciprocal rights and
duties of the two governments, has
been desired for some time by both
and negotiations with that end in
view are pending between the State
Department' of the United States
’and the Department of Foreign
Relations of the' Republic of Pan
ama.”
