The Panama Canal began operations during wartime and with initial obstacles. From July 1, 1914 to July 1, 1915 earnings reached 4,424,306 while operating costs were 4,200,000, yielding a surplus of about 224,000. Interest on cost would require 12,000,000 annually at 3 percent on 400,000,000, but traffic is expected to grow and may meet or exceed 10,500,000 a year once the war ends.
