TAFT OPPOSES HAGuE TRIAL
FAvoRs SPECIAL COURT FOR PA.
MAMA TOLLS.
Would Have Body Composed Of Amert
can and English Citi-
gems.


Washington. Jan. 6.-President TAFT
rs willing to submit to arbitration the
questions at issue between Great Bri-
tain and the United States over Pana.
ma canal tolls, but he does not favor
arbitration by the Hague tribunal.
This fact became known upon the
presidents return from New York. Al
though he has not yet given the mat.
ter of tribunal much thought the
president probably would prefer spe.
cial board of arbitration composed Of
an equal number of citizens df the
United States and Great Britain.
Such was to be the composition of the
arbitral court he proposed to settle
any vital question arising between ma
tions when he spoke in behalf OF the
arbitration treaties.
The president has expressed to
friends the view that at The Hague
all Europe would be against the Unit
ed States and that the moral pressure
on the court would be enormous be-
cause all Europe is interested in Pa
mama tolls just as much as England.
In court in which only Great Britain
and the United States were represent
ed, it is argued, there would be a much
greater chance of fair decision.
Several Democratic senators have
voiced the opinion that a special trf-
bunal be created to arbitrate this dis
pute.
London Newspapers Agree.
London. = London morning papers
are heartily pleased with President
Taft's declaration of his intention to
submit the Panama canal controversy
with Great Britain to arbitration It
diplomatic negotiations should fail.
The Daily Mail says:
ANY other than the honorable
course which President Taft has taken
would have been almost unthinkable
on the part of a statesman who has
devoted such efforts to furthering the
cause of international peace through
out the world. If the senate follows
President Taft's lead, the Panama
question is as good as settled"
