ENGLAND KICKS ON
PANAMA CANAL BILL
OBJECTS TO PARTIALLY SHOWN
AMERICAN SHIPS AND DOES
NOT LIKE FREE TOLLS.

WASHINGTON, July 12-Great Brit.
aims request that the enactment OF
the Panama canal administration bill
be held in allegiance until Mr.. lines,
the British charge, can present a
not in behalf OF his government, con,
fronts Congress and the State Depart.
,ment with an extraordinary situation
The British government Is concern
ed in the clause to grant free passage
through the canal to American yes
GELS In coastwise trade and the clause
relating to the passage OF railroad
owned ships. The Canadian railways
are deeply concerned in both and It
Is thought that some Of the represcn.
tations will be made In their behalf.
The canal bill is now in the Senate
and Senator Brandegce has replied 10
the State Department that the Legis-
lation proposed is regarded as OK
troncly urgent and that i was plan
ned to report the canal bill to the full
Senate some time next week. That
reply has been communicated by. wire
10 Mr.. lines and will probably have
the effect to'hasten the delivery of the
British note. -,.a..,
One OF the provisions in tho bill az
!. now stands would make 1t impossi-
BILE for Canadian railroad ships to
rass through the canal II they en-.
gagged in ceastwise trade. Then the
question of free tolls to certain classes
Of American ships involves the old
question OF the Hay Pauncefotc
treaty.
1T is believed that the British Gov
ernmcnt will hold that all ships OF all
nations must be on equal basis.
That not only Great Britain but all
Of the maritime Powers might be ex-
jpccted to protest against any dis
elimination in favor of American YES;
cells has. been fully anticipated, yet
notwithstanding the fact, President
Taft and Secretary Stimson, the mem.
Der OF hts Cabinet directly charged
with the construction and operation
OF the Panama canal have, after care
rul investigation, committed them
selves to the assertion OF the right OF
the United States to regulate tratIic
in the manner provided by the pend
ing bill.
