Canal will be value less warns Stevens in New Haven
New Haven March 9 John F Stevens vice president of the New York New Haven Hartford Railroad and former Panama Canal engineer predicts the canal will not aid US trade with South America or the Pacific Far East. He argues it would cost more to defend the canal than fund a stronger navy and that interior transport costs to Atlantic ports exceed Pacific routes. He cites Suez traffic and toll economics to suggest Panama could not sustain revenue.

Bailey on finance and currency substitute debate
Senator Bailey spoke in the Senate backing a $1,000,000,000 emergency currency substitute using Treasury notes rather than banknotes and urged retaining bank reserves in vaults. He opposed the Fowler bill, predicted Democratic support for his plan, and warned against inflation while defending greenbacks as useful but distinct. He criticized the President’s railroads policy and highlighted constitutional concerns, with Frye resolution on canal supplies sparking a sharp tilt before the Aldrich bill discussion.
