u. S. to Refuse
Canal Arbitration

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1870 strong
is sentiment In the senate against the
submission of Panama canal matter in
volving foreign marine reports to The
Hague for arbitration, that the United
States government probably will reply
to the protest of Sir Edward Grey, the
British foreign minister, with polite
note rejecting the English proposals.
Secretary of State Knox will begin the
preparation of a reply to the British
note within a short time.
At the regular meeting of the cabinet
today President Taft and his official
family discussed informally the terms
of the English communication which
was transmitted last night through Am
bassador Bryce
Ambassador Bryce read the note word
for word to Secretary Knox at the lat
ter's home. 1t is an elaboration of the
points of objection in the note present
ed to the state department last July.
Violation of Treaty"
In brief, these objections are:
That while it was clearly in violation
of the Hay Pauncefote treaty either to
remit or to refuse tolls on all American
shipping using the canal, the same OBJ
lection probably would apply to the
coastwse trade shipping, in view of the
probable impossibility of foreign regu-
lations that would not result in pref
erence to American shipping.
In addition to supporting these points
by long arguments, Sir Edward Grey
indicates clearly that strong resistance
will be offered to any attempt to ex-
clude from the canal British ships own
ed by Canadian railroads. or whose
owners may be guilty of violating the
Sherman antitrust act. He holds that
this section of the act can not apply to
British shipping, but only to United
States vessels.
He also indicates in his note that un-
DERIVING the objection to the exemption
from toll of American coastwise ships
is an apprehension that in the future
the principle might be extended to cover
American ships in foreign trade.

cultural meetings at Portland, Prosser
and Walla Walla. A committee of
eleven, representing every district of
the Northwest was appointed at the
Walla Walla conference in February,
1911 to outline a plan of organization
with view to solving the problem of
distribution through central sell
ing agency.
The committee which was headed
by Fl. w. Otis OF Peshastin concluded
it's work and submitted a report at
the National Apple Show in Spokane
last November. The plan embodied
working plan for local and district
organizations. The matter having
been thus worked out the necessity
for an effective selling machine be-
came the next and serious point for
consideration. At this juncture the
Rogue River Fruit & Produce AS
ISOLATION initiated plan seeking to
bring about an utilization as nucleus
OF the principal fruit raising districts
in the Nor thwest through common
selling agency.
The merits of the plan we're so
forceful as to commend it to the COM
mittee of eleven as embracing the
ideal principles Of correlation between
the grower and the seller. In behalf
of the committee Mr. Otis presented
the Rogue River plan to the Washing
ton State Horticultural Association
at it's annual convention in Charleston
last January.
Negotiations between the co-opera-
tive leaders represented by 81. w.
Otis, A. p. Bateham and L. e.
Meacham and the directors Of the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange follow
ed with the result noted in the fore
going.
Through the agreement reached the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange be-
comes practically a mutualized in
stitution. Its dividends are fixed at
not to exceed 10 per cent and all I'M
sold capital stock will be offered to
growers organizations. This pro-
vision in connection with the fact
that the Northwestern Fruit Exchange
is already under the absolute control
of actual fruit growers, precludes the
possibility of it, ever becoming an in
stitution of private control for profit.
Provisions was made also for
direct and vital contract between the
exchange and the growers whose
crops shall be marketed through it
by the creation of an auxiliary Or
ganization to be known as the growers
council of the Northwestern Fruit Elk
change, which shall be composed OF
elected representatives of each as
ISOLATION. This council will have
control of all matters pertaining to
the Standardization of methods and
contracts and will have advisory
powers.
In the working out of the new plan
Spokane is recognized equally with
Portland as the headquarters of the
exchange; some of it's departments
being transferred to the capital of the
Inland Empire. All the telegraphic
market news will be distributed from
Spokane.
