THE PANAMA CANAL.
Continued from Page One.)

anna canal was a purely domestic ques-
ton and therefore should not be taken
To tribunal at The Hague for arbi-
tration. And in support OF that conten-
tion he cited a speech made by Sem
ator Lodge on the Taft peace treaties,
Feb. 20 last. in which Mir. Lodge said
The tolls to be charged by us in the
Panama canal. which we have built at
our own expense. might under the
peace treaties be brought before a tri-
bunal, in whole or in part composed of
foreigners. to be fixed and determined
by them. Our title to the canal or to
our territory anywhere is not to be
dragged before any arbital tribunal for
examination and determination, and
nothing should be subscribed to by us
which by any twisting could be con-
strued into promise that We would
submit such question to any judgment
but our own"
The logical deduction from this line
of reasoning, remarked Senator
Smith, lis to the effect that our judg-
ment and ours alone, in reference to
our title to our canal territory is to be
Interpreted by us alone.
eff we decide that our title to this
property is such as to make it prac-
tically territory of the United States
III so far as our relations with foreign
countries are concerned, then it seems
to follow that any law we may make
in reference to our own citizens in the
use of this property, where it applies
strictly to our citizens alone. is not
a matter for arbitration"
Senator Smith went on to point out
that this country has excellent
ground, under the treaty by which it
acquired the canal strip, to claim the
Canal Zone as a territorial part of
the United States and the question of
the use of it's waterway, the Panama
Canal. is just as much a domestic
question as the use OF the inland wa
terways in the country nsoper.
This argument brought Senator
Lodge to his feet.
Admitting that this and other dis
cussions had presented a new phase
of the matter, he said he was not now
willing to admit that the United
States was bound to submit the ques-
ton Of tolls to arbitration.
In the first Hay Pauncefote treaty,
Mr.. Lodge continued, was n provision
that after the treaty had been rati-
fled by the United States and Great
Britain other powers were to be in
vited to become parties to it. That
provision aroused great opposition at
the time and, as a result of that OPP
position, it was stricken out on the
ground that no foreign nation was to
be allowed to have a power of dicta-
ton as to the rules and regulations
under which the canal was to be OPP
Grated.
1T was to be kept a purely Ameri-
can question commented Senator
Smith.
Precisely said Senator Lodge.
If the United States was to have
full sway over the Canal Zone, Sem
ator Pomerene remarked, why did the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty specifically re-
serve the right to the United States
to maintain a military police of the
zone?
That suggestion was met by Senator
Lodge by the explanation that at the
time the treaty was made 1t was not
known what rights the United States
would acquire over the canal strip and
it was therefore necessary specifically
