Debate Over Canal Cement Transport Mixes Politics and Trade
The Senate debated Senator Frye's joint resolution to require American ships for transporting cement for the Panama Canal. Frye argues five million barrels of cement justify American-ship transport despite higher costs, citing ample American tonnage. An amendment to limit the restriction to U S ports passed, but broader coastal extensions failed. Critics warn of monopolies and mandatory bidding clarity. Tillman ties cement costs to campaign funds and farming interests. The measure was laid aside for later consideration.
