NO PROTEST HAS
 BEEN RECEIVED
Foreign Governments Say Nothing Against Free Admission of American Ships

Washington January 11.AAlthough the foreign press has condemned the view of President Taft and Secretary Simpson that American shipping using the Panama canal should be relieved of tolls, no pro- test has reached the state department from any European government. The legislation necessary to fix tolls on the canal traffic and to affirm the free use of the waterway by American shipping Is to be vigorously pressed in view of the urgent declaration by Colonel Goethals that immediate action on the subject Is demanded by the merchant marine. of the world.
 The view taken by the administration Is that through the subsidies paid by foreign governments to their own shipping, American shipping would be placed at an actual disadvantage were 1t mot re- lieved entirely of these charges. No for eign protest is likely to change the posi- tion of the government in this effect.
 Representative Humphrey of Washing ton, has introduced a bill providing that all American ships engaged in coast wide trade should go through the canal free of charges, except ships owned or con- trolled by railroads.
 "The exception of vessels owned by railroads. I believe, is wise one" said Representative Humphreys There can be little doubt that the railroads are bend ing their energies to prevent the passage of American ships through the canal without the payment of tolls Their mo- tive is apparent. They do not want the competition. There would be no compe- tition if the railroads were permitted 10 own or control the vessels that pass through the canal.'
 MT. Humphreys declared the admission of coast wide vessels through the canal without payment of tolls. would not con flict with treaty provisions with other | nations
