FAvORS AMERICAN CRAFT
Secretary of Merchants Asso'

Canal Tolls.

American vessels should pass through
the Panama canal toll Free in the opinion
Of the Merchants Association of New
York. expressed before the Senate COM
mittee on 1nteroceanic canals today, by
8. c. Mead, secretary Of the association.
Mr.. Mead pointed out that tolls are not
levied on any Of the many other water
ways Of the country which have been
built or improved at the cost of the
United States. and that that policy has
been adopted for the economic develop
ment of the country. Inasmuch as the
Panama canal Is Of still greater economic
importance than any Of the other water
ways made navigable by the United
States. he urged. there are still greater
reasons why the canal should be free of
tolls as far as the United States is con-
cerned.
Adrian H. Boole. former steamship line
manager, also heard by the Senate COM
mittee today. urged that there should be
a. provisioH in the bill to prevent the

will accept full recognition or nothing.

Shoot the Icebergs!

To the Editor OF The Star:
The Star, about a year ago. published
q communication from the present
writer suggesting that every ship
crossing the north Atlantic be provid-
ed with, cannon and required by law to
fire at every iceberg within gunshot.
Many Of these floating masses are but
loosely coherent. and q few sharp
Gus fragments. In addition it was sug-
gested that special ships should be
sent out to hunt for icebergs- and
destroy them by means Of bombs drop
ped from aeroplanes. Copies OF the
paper were sent. to the photographic
offices Of the leading nations. and to
the leading marine insurance COM
panies, but. SO far as known. no at
tention was paid to the matter. In
pursuance of the time-honored and
after the horse has been stolen, the
suggestion may receive some attention
after the loss Of ship worth sig. 0OO,-
600. a cargo worth additional millions,
and over 1000 human lives. each OF
which, to Its. posessor. at least. was
worth more than all the rest. The
mere cost Of the ship would have suf-
feed to pay for all the cannon and
destroying icebergs for the next fifty
years.
A friend now comes forward with a
new suggestion. The warships OF the
leading nations are constantly engaged
in target practice. Instead of going
to the expense Of making artificial tar
gets, why not take advantage OF the
targets provided by nature?. All the
navies ara now. experimenting with
aeroplanes. and the experiments neces-
sarily- consist IN lowering over q target
and dropping bombs on 1t. II few
warships fitted out with aeroplanes
were stationed every spring east of
Newfoundland. and Nova Scotia, they
could demolish all the icebergs that
find their way to that vicinity. Many
people groan over the enormous ex-
pense OF building and maintaining
navies. 1t would be good policy tor
the advocates Of naval ornaments to
take advantage Of so obvious chaNce
to prove their usefulness.

The letter from President Taft is as
follows:
II am in favor Of granting American
citizenship to the people Of Porto Rico.
The connection between Porto Rico and
the United States has been from the De-
ginning regarded as permanent.
Porto Rico came to us with the hearty
good will Of both the American and Porto
Rican peoples; and believe that both as
a matter OF sentiment and practical JUS
tice the Porto Ricans should be made
citizens. At the same time, / believe that
our duty to the island will be best dis
charged and Porto Rico's interests will
be best subserved by affording the larg-
est opp ortunity for the development of
local traditions and habits. which are very
different from our own.
