CRITICS Of CANAL ACT
PIN HOPES ON WILSON
London Spectator" Remarks
President-EIeCt Has Not Com
mitted Himself on Subject.
DIATRIBE IN THE OUTLOOK
Monopoly Of America the
Game Of the United States,
as Monopoly of Asia
Is Russia

London, Dec. 14.-In an article deal
ing with Great Britain's protest con-
corning the American governments
Panama Canal tolls act 1.-The Specta-
tor says
"The form and manner OF the whole
protest are exactly what they ought to
be in negotiations with people whom
we like and esteem. Sir Edward Grey
Uhe British Foreign MINISTRY has
understated rather than overstated his
case, which is always a wise course
when one has unanswerable arguments
and is treating with a friend.
I'VE have the liveliest expectation
that the protest will make a genuine
impression in the United States. Our
belief that a settlemtnt Will be quickly
reached is increased by the fact that
DR.. Wilson has not publicly committed
himself to any definite opinion on the
justice Of the canal act. With Mr..
Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt il is other
wise"
The Outlook" touching upon the
same subject, speaks Of the rare COM
pound of mendacity. chicane and rapac-
ity embodied in the Panama policy OF
the United States" and says. ut is
characteristic Of the nature Of United
,ffafA 81.
lence of Republican politics, that the
moderate and reserved tone Of our For
eign Office communication is taken as
weakness"
THE Outlook" declares that the
United States intends TO dominate the
policy and trade OF South and North
America, and cut off commercial ac-
cess between Europe and Asia; that
the monopoly Of America is the game
OF the United States, the same as the
monopoly Of Asia Is Russia's, and that
the Monroe Doctrine will be pushed to
annex South America. II adds that the
Republic OF Panama was created by
the revolutionary scum Of South Amer
lea, armed and equipped by the United
states government
The politicians OF Washington have
declared war on the commerce Of civ
ilization," The outlook" continues, and
it urges British and German co-opera-
tion in The premises.
The Nation" says it thinks serious
friction is not likely to arise from. the
situation, as President elect Wilson has
never committed himself on the ques
ton. and in case many OF the most in
flucntial statesman and newspapers arc
against #. public opinion will demand
the resembling Of those features Of the
act which The Nation" considers are
in defiance OF the plain meaning Of the
Hay Pauucefote treaty.
"The Saturday Review" finds solu-
ton Of the difficulty in the granting Of
subsidies TO American ships equivalent
TO canal dues. which it says would re-
lieve foreign shipping OF the burden OF
paying an unfair proportion FOR the
naintainance Of the canal.

a trip in the western part Of the state.
III it is politics to prevent babies s!sv-
ing in cannerles.' said Senator Wagner
Il am for that kind of politics. The talk
that the disclosures about child slavery
in the canneries is exaggerated is all
bosh, and IL is equally absurd to attribute
any kind OF politics 10 our work.
I'VE are receiving tons of letters from
all over the country commencing our ef-
forts TO keep women out Of the foun-
dries and children out of :he cannerles.
The manner in which certain OF our man
ufacturers have encouraged child and
woman slavery is appalling, and the eff
fort 10 stop it now is not politics. 1t is
the cry OF an awakened humanity. II is
the demand that the most disgraceful OF
the existing conditions be remedied.
Some OF the manufacturers are ap-

rFrono The Tribune Bureau.

ueSbineton. Dec. 13.-Despite the dis
,urbed conditions throughout the Domiii-
can Republic as a consequence or the
revolution. the American customs receiV-
s,.bin there proved successful during the
first ten months OF the current year tiie
collections having been per cent iarser
than for the same period in 1911 wh!ch
was the record year.
Figures announced by the Department
OF State to-day show that the OCTOBER
collections amounted 10 $685. 50, ana
that all but S,461 81 vas derived from
the duties on imports. The collections
for the ten months totalled 3,GIbsb o.
indicating that industrial and commercial
conditions in the republic are much more
firmly established than they were at the
time OF the receivership.
There was a slight loss OF revenue be-
cause Of the seizure of four custom
bonses along the Haytian frontier by the
rebels. but the amount is far less than
was supposed. The predictions are tnat

IBy Cable 20 The Tribune.

London, Dec 14.-Down to a late hour
last night the exact time for the first sit
ting of the peace delegates at ST. James's
Palace on Monday had not been settled.
Sir Edward Grey will attend the open
ing session and welcome the delegates
to London In behalf Of the government
No definite forecast can yet be given
as to the course which the conference
will follow. On the one hand. an in
teryiew with DR.. Daneff indicates that
the RuIgarians intend to adhere to
their demand for the surrender Of
Adrianople, while, on the other hand. 1t
is understood that the Turks will re-
main firm in their decision not TO give
up the fortress.
Meanwhile, the Greek army continues
its operations In Epirus, and has fought
what appears to be q somewhat severe
engagement with Turkish troops I'm the
neighborhood Of Yanina. II is quite
possible, in view of this fact, that the
actual commencement Of negotiations,
apart from the preliminary session,
which will be mainly devoted to pro-
cedure. will be postponed for so far
there is no indication that the Greeks
intend to subscribe TO the truce.
All the plenipotentiaries to the peace
conference are now assembled in Lon
don. The Turkish ENJOYS arrived late
last night, and unless the continuance
OF hostilities between the Turks and
the Greeks should prove a hindrance
there seems nothing in sight TO prevent
the conference getting Immediately
down 10 business.
With regard TO report from Con-
stantinople stating that the Turks
would refuse TO meet the Greek plen-
potentiaries in London unless Greece
signed the armistice TO which the other
Balkan States have subscribed, the
counsellor OF the Turkish Embassy
here said last night that he knew moth
ing Of any such instructions. and that
he did not believe the Greeks would
have sent delegates TO London unless
their country was prepared 10 fall into
line with the other Balkan states az TO
the terms on which they should meet.

Keen Struggle Ahead.

The newspaper interviews given by
the Turkish and Bulgarian delegates
on their Journey toward London indi-
cate that a keen struggle will take
place in the peace conference over the
possession Of Adrianople. Both sides
present an unyielding attitude on this
point. basing their claims on the fact
that their armies are IN excellent con-
dition to resume hostilitie-. The Turks
claim that they have 10000 practically
fresh troops behind the Tchataldja
lines, while dispatches from CONSTANT

The Turkish capital is gaining In inhu-

in diplomatic quarters here. however,
that the conference Will separate with
