CANNON'S STATEMENT
NOT OPPOSED TO TARIFF REV.
SION AT SOME FUTURE TIME.

speaker Cannon today made a further
explanation OF letter recently written by
MIN TO friend In East Liverpool Ohio re-
garding the tariff The letter was pub
hshed. and seemed to indicate that tariff
revision would probably come in the flu
ture.
The statement of the Speaker today fol-
lows:
was not aware that I was writing a.
letter for publication although l have no
objection to its publication There are
many people in the country who believe
that single schedule or a few schedules of
the tarin may be amended. This is entirely
impractical. for while an amendment to a
single schedule might please single inter-
enact IT. YVES "
In my Judgment nothing can be done ex-
cept Dy complete revision of the tariff
wnlch would be compromise that would
command majority vote of the 386 mem
bers of the House and the ninety senators
Inc enactment Of such revision and the
tine necessary to adjust it to conditions

That the time will come when a general
revision VIII be entered upon l have no
doubt, but, for the general interest of the
whole country, the revision should be post
poned as long as possible. Congress re-
fleets the will Of the people and the House

OF the tariff. If majority of the people

FoRTFICATIoN OF CANAL.
Question Will Be Submitted to Con-

The general staff OF the army believes
that the line of the Panama canal should be
strongly fortified and has prepared a plan
for the defenses, which is now before Sec
rotary Taft. But the isthmian canal COM
mission urges that no attempt be made TO
erect fortiicatIons. and that the canal
should be neutralized, just as Is the Suez
canal.
Secretary Thft has taken up this subject
with the President and Secretary Root, and
1t has been decided that in view of it's i'm
portance IT shall be laid before Congress
with an invitation TO that body to express
its desires and Judgment.
The existing Hay-Pauncefote treaty
makes no reference 10 the fertilization OF
the canal differing In that respect from the
first treaty of that name, which failed TO
secure the approval of the Senate. and It
has been held that this omission to reit-
crate the prohibition of the Ciayton-Bul-
wer treaty amounts to implied permission
to construct Notifications There are, how
ever two very different readings of the
treaty on that point.
