Esch Explains Panama Tolls On Pacific Trade
Representative Joan J Esch of Wisconsin told the Interstate Association that Panama Canal tolls will not aid the eastern South American coast but will boost the western coast and Pacific U S trade. He said Eastern commercial bodies would control the trade, noting a 28 day time saving from New York to Callao for a ten knot steamer and a daily cost saving of 400 dollars for a 4000 ton ship, enough to justify a 1 26 dollar per long ton toll.
