Washington, Dec. 30. Both Senator
Flint of California, chairman of the
committee ou iuteroceamc cauais,
and Representative Mann of Illinois,
chairman of the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce, ex
peet to introduce general Panama
canal bills. These will incorporate
their differing ideas as to tho needs ol
legislation for the waterway In the
light of the White House conference.
This conference developed substan
tial harmony of opinion favoring forti
fication of the caual, presidential dis
cretion as to the exact amount of tolls
under prescribed maximum and mini
mum limitations; government opera
tiou of the dry dock and repair shot
facilities nnd governmental sale of all
the coal, oil and other ship supplies
at both ends of the canal to the trade
of the. world passing through It and
the safeguarding of competition
through tho canal.
The differences of views as to
whether foreign shipping and coast
wise shipping should receive equal
treatment in canal charges could not
be reconciled and the problem stlh Is
unsolved.
Senator Flint's bill will provide
either an unqualified free passage of
American ships or the collection of toll
and subsequent rebate of the entire
toll, which from tho viewpoint of some
of those, in tho conference merely
would operate as a matter of book
keeping. Ills bill will fix a certain
maximum and minimum of toll on ves
sels of other countries, probably from
50 or 73 cents minimum to $1.25 or
$1.:.0 maximum, a net ton, leaving the
exact charge to the discretion of the
president so that it can bo adjusted to
changing commercial conditions.
