AN APPEAL TO CONGRESS
BY PRESIDENT WILSON
Gentlemen Of the Congress:

Gentlemen of the Congress:
II have come to you upon an errand which can be very briefly per-
formed, but | beg that you will not measure its Importance by the
number Of sentences in which state It, No communication l have
addressed to the Congress carried with 1t graver or more farreaching
implications to the interest Of the country, and l come now to speak
upon a matter with regard to which am charged n a peculiar degree,
by the Constitution itself, with personal responsibility.
Il have come to ask for the repeal Of that provision OF the Pan
anna Canal act of August "a, 1912, which exempts vessels engaged In
the coastwise trade Of the United States from payment Of tolls and
to urge upon you the justice, the wisdom and the large policy OF such
a repeal with the utmost earnestness Of which / am capable.
"In my own judgment, very fully considered and maturely formed,
that exemption constitutes a mistaken economic policy from every
point Of view and is, moreover, in plain contravention OF the treaty
with Great Britain concerning the canal concluded on November Is,
1901. But l have not come to you to urge my personal views. /
have come to state to you a fact and a situation. Whatever may be
our own differences Of opinion concerning this muchdebated measure
its meaning is not debated outside the United States.
Everywhere else the language Of the treaty Is given but one
Interpretation, and that Interpretation precudes the exemption l am
asking you to repeal. We consented to the treaty; its language we
accepted, II we did not originate II, and we are too big, too powerful,
too selfrespecting a nation to interpret with too strained or refined a
reading the words Of our own promises just because we have power
enough to give us leave to read them as we please.
"The large thing to do Is the only thing we can afford to do-a
voluntary withdrawal from a position everywhere questioned and mis-
understood. We ought to reverse our action without raising the ques-
ton whether we we're right or wrong. and SO once more deserve our
reputation for generosity and the redemption OF every obligation with
out bubble or hesitation.

greater delicacy and nearer consequence If you do not grant 1t to me

Governor Colquitt, discussing his
action, said:

Texas. To say | am going the limit
to protect the Americans in Texas
from any harm from foreign invasions
but mildly expresses It."

is pointed out, official consular and
state reports have declared the Mexi-
can federals executed the missing cat

Washington.-The State OF Nuevo
Leon is practically controlled by the
Mexican federals, although there are
scattered bands of rebels there. Gov
ernor Colquitt's requisition will have
to so to the Huerta governor at
Monterey. Results of the Texas gov
ernor's latest move will be awaited
with great interest In official circles
here.
The request by Governor Colquitt,
of Texas, upon the federal governor
Of Nuevo Leon for the extradition of
those responsible for the kidnapping
Of Vergara occasioned much discus
sion in official circles here. The
Texas governor had asked the State
Department 10 tell him what 1t looked
upon as the legally constituted gov
eminent in Northern Mexico, for by
the special treaty with Mexico extra
dition proceedings can be carried on
between governors In adjacent border
states without reference to the Ameri-
can State Department. Secretary
Bryan suggested to Governor Colquitt
that he might ask for the extradition
of the offenders from 1.-The governor
OF Nuevo Leon" leaving It to the
Texas governor to determine who that
individual was. The extradition has
been asked for on the charge of horse
stealing. State Department officials
say that under the treaty the offend
ers, If %extradited. could not be tried
for murder, because Vergara was slain
on Mexican soil.
