sFERENcEs CONCERNING
CANAL BILL.
POINT TO OUR TREATY.
Declared to Be Violation Of Hay
Pauncefote Aereement.-lssue
Of Canadian Owned
Ships.

washington, Dec. 1O.-Great Brit.
aims formal note of protest against
that section of the Panama canal act
which exempts American coastwise
shipping from payment of tolls for
passing through the Panama canal a
document written by Sir Edward Grey,
British minister for foreign affairs,
has been presented to the secretary
of state, Philander G.. Knox, by the
British ambassador, James Bryce,
who read the note word for word to
the secretary at the latters home. It
was an elaboration of the points OF
objection in the note presented to the
state department last July In brief
these objections are:
That while it was clearly in viola
tion of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
either to remit or refund tolls on all
American shipping using the canal, the
same objection probably would apply
to the coastwise trade shipping in
view of the probable impossibility of
framing regulations that would not re-
suit in preference to American ship
ping.
Canadian Owned Ships.
In addition to supporting these
points by long arguments, Sir Edward
Grey indicates clearly that strong re-
sistance will be offered to any attempt
to exclude from the canal British
ships owned by Canadian railroads or
whose owners may be guilty of violat-
Ing 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 in.
dicates in his note that underlying tho
objection to the exemption from toll
Of American coastwise ships is an APP
prehension that in the future the prin-
ciple might be extended to cover Am.
erican ships in foreign trade.
Otherwise the note is devoted al
MOST entirely to an effort to demon
strate that any such exemption of
American shipping as is proposed is
