Toll Not in Text.

Tho discussion showed that the toll and
fertilization matters were not specifically
enumerated In tho text OF the treaty be-
cause II was tho consensus Of opinion
that they were permitted by the terms OF
the treaty as IL stood.
Senators Root and Burton contend that
We cannot discriminate in favor OF Ameri-
can ships and that to do so would vio-
late the terms of the treaty" said Mr.
O'Gorman. II deny the accuracy Of that
view. II they are correct then we cannot
fortify the canal and protect It."
At this Juncture Senator Cummlns drove
home a strong point for the American
point Of view.
III the phrase all nations" said the
Iowa senator, embraces the United States
and II these rules as adopted by our gov
ernment are applicable to the United
States, then I suggest that rule also
Is mandatory upon us: This particular
rule provides that vessels OF war shall no,
revictual or take any stores on board In
the canal except so far as absolutely nee
essary. No one Will contend that this
government Will ever admit that that rule
will apply 10 the warships OF the United
States"
THAT necessarily follows" replied MI
O'Gorman, III the one rule is applicable
all are"
'If we were at war with any foreign
power and we wanted TO stock our OWE
ships with supplies In the Panama cana
within the territory OF the Panama zone
over which we exercise sovereignty we
term all nations continued Mr.. Cum
minis.
'It Is a most extra ordinary proposition
that the United States cannot supply It's
own wants in its own terriory, and YET
that is the proposition II the Views sup
porting the British contention are cor
rect" said Senator O'Gorman. Under
the provision the United States could not
embark or disembark troops. None o!
these rules apply TO the United States
which created them and adopted them fol
the use Of others. 1t was never contem.
plated or expected that these rules would
