TAFT MAY FAVOR ARBITRATION OF
 CANAL DISPUTE
The Senate Will Finally De- termine Whether Matter Goes to The Hague
 Tribunal or Not

Washington, December 10.-Whether Great Britains protest against free passage of American ships through the The Hague, is to be finally determined by the Senate, in any event. It was in timated today that President Taft, con- sistent with his attitude as a prin- cipal champion of arbitration of dis putes between nations, might recom- mend such a course, should he and Sec retary Knox not hold the question q purely domestic and internal one and therefore not arbitrable. There was q considerable leaning to such view among senators today.
 The British governments note was discussed informally by President Taft and his cabinet today. but 1t was said that until Secretary Knox had time 10 study it at length and probably had outlined his reply, it would not be taken up formally That probably will not be for several weeks.
 A suggestion that the questio.' might be kept from arbitration. by de- lay, until the existing arbitration treaty with Great Britain expires by Limitation next June, was repudiatel today by q number of senators. Sena- tor Lodge, prominent member of the foreign relations committee. declared that the United States would not stoop to tricks" Senator Sutherland de- clared the question purely a domestic one, and therefore, not subject to ar bitration.
