THE CANAL SITUATION

Great Britain, with her usual AFRO
ganee, is showing a disposition to
domineer in the Panama canal. She
has been the acknowledged mistress of
the seas for so many years, that she
naturally dislikes to see the United
States become a great maritime pow
err.
In furtherance of this policy. Eng
land has taken the untenable stand
that this country has no right to per-
nit its vessels engaged in the coast
wise trade to pass through the canal
without paying tolls. In other words
that, having bought and paid for the
canal with its own money, asking no
assistance from any other country,
the United States has no power to fav-
or its W shipping, but must place it
on the same footing with that of 9th
er countries.
There is no doubt but what Senator
Massey voiced the unanimous senti-
ment Of the American people in his
great Senate speech last fall, when he
served notice on the British govern
ment that the United States would do
what it saw fit with it's OWN.

measure seven inches from wrist to
