The diplomatic struggle. precipitat-

Mitchell Inness, charge of the British

along the following lines:
Great Britain will take the position

which forbids discrimination in favor.
of the interests of any nation in the
conduct of the canal would operate
against the provisions of the Panama

The United States will hold that so

tons are accorded the same treatment
in the use of the canal the United
States may pass American ships
free, or rebate the tolls charged them.
The ultimate passage of the meas
ure new before the Senate now seems
assured. The men behind the bill in
the Senate said today, the British
note would not prevent consideration
of the measure whenever it could be
reached in the ordinary course of bus

After conference with President

"Of course l am surprised that the
