URGES REPEAL OF ACT
By Which U. S. Ships Are Exempted
from Panama Tolls.

Washington, ID. c.. March H.-Declar
ing the United States ought to be thu
most scrupulous of all nations in thu
keeping of its treaty obligations, "ever
to its own hurt" the trustees Of thu
Carnegie endowment for international
peace last night issued an appeal to the
American people to bring about, as an
act of national honor, the repeal of the
act of Congress which exempts Ameri-
can coastwise vessels from payment Of
Panama canal tolls.
The appeal is in the form of state
ment issued over the signatures of the
society's president, Senator Elihu Root,
Joseph H. Choate, former ambassador to
England, Luke +. Wright, former secre-
tary of war, Charlemagne Tower, former
ambassador to Germany, Nicholas MUIR
ray Butler, president of Columbia uni
versity, and other members of the board
of trustees.
The issuance of this statement is the
latest work of the society, which was
founded In 1910 BY Andrew Carnegie,
when he endowed it with Sf0000,000.
The brochure sets forth the history of
the various treaties that have been me-
gotiated by this country with Great
Britain regarding the building and con-
troll Of the Panama canal
1t is believed that it was the purpose
of the American government to construct
and maintain the Panama canal for
sthe benefit of mankind, on equal terms
to ALL and that all treaties on the sub
ject are Chased on this intention and
resolve, many times reiterated by Off
cial representatives of the American gov
ernment."
Continuing, the brochure gives the
history Of the negotiation of the treaty,
concluded on April A, 1908, in which it
is stipulated that in the event of diff
culties arising of legal nature or relat-
ing to the Interpretation of existing
treaties, these difficulties shall be re-
ferred to the permanent court of arbitra-
tion at The Hague" and declares that
Sin special sense the United States is
bound to observe faithfully and without
question this treaty. 1t declares that
the republic ought to be absolutely
faithful to its word, even to its own
hurt
