September 6?The let- ' tcr of Sir Edward lir.y. the British Foreign Secretary, to the Onteshead , Chamber o| Commerce yesterday rc- ? gnrdlug the British government's at- | tlttlde toward the Panama Canal act, is regarded here as an indication that , tb. negotiations beiwoeii the two coun- 1 tries nre lo have a financial basis, the Foreign Secretary's argument being that British shipping t" b'e burdened with an undue proportion of the charges for the maintenance of the canal, through the complete exemption from toils of American coastwise shipping. In view of this. Importance attaches to an Inquiry which now Is being conducted on the Isthmus by Professor Kmery Johnson, special com? missioner of Panama iraltic and tolls He is engaged In a study of the rtnan c nil aspect of the enterprise, so that tb- toll? may h? adjusted to the needs .?f the canal ori a strict!)
