Sir Edward Grey Forestalls
Discussion in Commons.

discussion Of the Panama Canal question
Joseph King Liberal member from North
Somerset. IN the House Of Commons this
afternoon asked the Secretary Of state
for Foreign Affairs whether friendly rep
reservations are being made to the United
States government with the aim of Sc
curing generous treatment for such Brit
!sh shipping as shall pass through the
Panama Canal?'
Sir Edward Grey. the Secretary Of State
for Foreign Affairs In reply merely
quoted Article III. paragraph !, Of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty:
The canal shall be free and open 10 the
vessels OF commerce and OF war OF all
nations observing these rules Oh terms
of entire equality, 50 that there shall be
ton or It's citizens or subjects, In respec.
Of the conditions or charges OF traffic or
otherwise. Such conditions and charges
Of traffic shall be just and equitable.
Sir Edward added: ...
AS 1t appeared to his majesty's govern
ment that some Of the provisions OF the
bill now before the United States Senate
would not be consistent with THIS article
Of the treaty. It has thought 1t right 10
point out these objections TO the govern
ment OF the United States, In order that
they may be taken into account while tile
bin is under consideration.
Sir Edward Grey can now curb his
catechizers by saying lie has nothing 70
add 20 to-day's reply.

will bring the protest directly to Wash
ington for submission to Secretary Knox.
The protest will be merely acknowledged
and transmitted Immediately TO the SEN
ate and House. probably accompanied by
a special message from President Taft
Some officials believe that II Congress
will content itself with action upon SO
much Of the canal bill as provides for the
creation OF an operating force for the
waterway the broad international Ques-
ton OF the right of the United States TO
discriminate In favor of its own shipping
may be left for subsequent adjustment
Representative j. Hampton Moore, of
Pennsylvania, has discovered way to
meet British objection. Mr. Moore intro
duced bill to-day to neutralize the
canal and give all the nations oppor-
tunity TO pay portion Of its cost. Mr..
Moore stated that the cost has been APP
proxlmately $685. 10000, and the annual
maintenance will be about s2J,O0O.OOO. Mr..
Moore also proposes to establish the Pan
anna Canal Trade Commission, consisting
Of the Secretaries Of Commerce and La
Dor and Of Agriculture and FIVE members
TO be appointed by the President TO study
trade possibilities OF the canal, particu-
larly with reference to South and Central
America.
