j. 8. CANAL RIGHT
CITED IN SENATE
Jones Replies to Great Britain's
Protest Against Free Pas
sage of American Ships.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 6-Senator
Wesley L. Jones, of Washington, Re
publican, made a striking speech in the
senate Yesterday on the responsible
ties and duties of the United States in
connection with the Panama canal. The
speech was called forth by Great Brit
aims protest against the bill allowing
American ships free passage through
the canal.
Senator Jones upheld the right OF
the United States to govern and con-
troll the Panama canal. ahided other
members of the senate for expressing a
contrary view. and said if he felt as
some of his colleagues do he would
never admit it on the floor of the SEN
ate or in public, but only would give
utterance to such beliefs curing execu-
tive session within the secret walls of
the chamber
Senator Jones Interpretation Of the
early British American treaty is that
the United States and Great Britain,
neither knowing who was to construct
the canal, simply bound themselves to
protect the builders of the canal from
unjust confseation.
He referred to the Clayton Bulwer
pact and the Hay Pauncefote treaty
and said
Refers to Other Nations.
1t is plain to me" referring to pro-
addition against blockades and the pro-
hibltion of war rights. that this rule
refers to nations other than the United
States.
when the United States says the
canal shall be free and open to all
vessels Of commerce and war observ-
ing the rules, it is the same as a ferry
man saying all persons paying 25 cents
would be transported across his stream
There is nothing that makes it a dis
elimination against any of these ma
tons to allow American ships to go
through the canal on different terms
any more than it would be If the ferry
man took himself across his own ferry
free of charge.
NO one disputes our title and no one
can dispute it. over it flies the flag
of the republic representing the SOW
ereignty and proprietorship of the ma
ton just as it represents that sover-
eighty and proprietorship over any
other territory belonging to the United
States.
cit Is Our Canal"
Through and across the strip Of
! territory and wholly within its limits
we are building with our peoples
money and will soon have complied
a great canal through which will pass
much of the worlds commerce This
canal win be built by US and by our
money 1t will be operated by US We
will protect it. it is ours Our nation
owns it. 1t Will be built through our
territory. Can We say how we snail
use it?
This is the question which meets us
at the threshold in this bill. I have no
doubt as to what the American people
think about it. There is no doubt as to
their answer to the question: in fact.
they are very likely to be surprised that
such a question should arise. 1t has
never entered their minds that this
government could not use its own prop
erty and deal with its own people as it
saw fit. without asking the consent Of
am Other. government or people"

Report On Apple Crop

Reports from correspondents to
the Secretary's office indicate an
unusually large apple crop in sight
at this time. The per cent may
fall some during this month due
to what In known as "the June
drop" and there is always the men
ace Of insects and diseases to the
unsprayed orchards.
SO far this season there has
been but Sigh injury due to
insects and diseases. Some cor
respondents report scab and blight,
also damage from curculio and cod
ling moth, especially In uneprayed
orchards. These do not appear
however, to be widespread, as
most reports give no insect or dis
ease injury.
The set has been only fair to
good. Some varieties ae Ben
Davis, Gano, and wincsap set well
and will give best crop. Jonathan
and York set poorly In all sections,
while nos sections report poor
set from summer varieties. As an
average for the state, etimated by
our correspondents, the apple crop
now stands at ! 2per cent. This
seems TO be fairly uniform thro-
ughout the state. The lowest aver
age In from Northeast Missouri-st
per cent. while the highest-North>
west Missouri-has II per cent.
At this time last year the OUT
look for an apple crop was placed
at $40 per cent.
The average number of growers
reported spraying 10 i6 per cent.
Northwest Missouri leads with high
est number, 20 per cent, while
Central Missouri reports the least,
