Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-Great Britain's formal
note of protest against that section OF
the Panama canal act which exempts
American coastwise shipping from
payment of tolls for passing through
he canal, document written by Sir
Edward Grey, British minister for for

AIRY of State Knox by James Bryce,
British ambassador.
Mr.. Bryce read the note to the Sec
rotary at the latter's home. 1t is an
elaboration of the points of objection
I'm the note PIE. ented to the State
Department last July. In brief these
objections are:
That while it was clearly in viola
ton of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
either to remit or refund tolls on all
American shipping using the canal,
the same objection probably would ap-
ply to the coastwise trading shipping
in view of the probable impossibility
of framing regulations that would not
result in preference to American
shipping. In addition to supporting
these points by long arguments, Sir
Edward indicates very clearly that
strong resistance will be offered to
any attempt to exclude from the canal
British ships owned by Canadian rail-
roads or whose owners may be guilty
OF violating the Sherman antitrust
act. He holds that this section of
the act cannot apply to British ship
ping, but only to United States YES
sells.
He also indicates in his note that
underlying the objection to the ex-
emption from toll of American coast
wise ships is an apprehension that in
the future the principle might be ex-
tended to cover American ships in the
foreign trade.
Otherwise the note is devoted al
most entirely to an effort to demon

American shipping as is proposed is

Secretary Knox listened tentatively
to the reading of the note and prom
