In his survey in the Daily News today
he declares that for 1000 years morals

There has been, of course, great ac-

all that we are no cleverer than the an

ENGLAND WELCOMES
TAFT'S STAND FOR
CANAL ARBITRATION

LONDON, January 6.-President Taft's
declaration favoring arbitration OF the
Penama canal tolls issue IS generally
welcomed.
The Daily Chronicle says: THE Presi-
dent has taken right and honorable
course, and any other policy Is almost
unthinkable on the part of statesman
who two years ago devoted all his efforts
10 further the cause OF international
peace throughout the world"
The Daily News, referring to Mr.. Taft S
remark that this is just the time when

time when We are afraid il may not win

man who initiated the attempt to arrange
permanent arbitration treaty between
Great Britain and the United States. II
places the arbitration idea in its true
aspect before the world If arbitration
were only an eXpedient to be adopted
when nation was confident of victory,
there would not be any meaning In IT
and it would be OF little practical value. '
Prospects Satisfactory"
The Standard, after pointing out that
the Presidents attitude is not decisive
and that nothing can be done without
the consent Of the Senate. which is
sharply divided in opinion. expresses the
belief that the prospects Of an am1cable
settlement are entirely satisfa Glory. MI
Tafts successor" it says, lis unlikely
to go back on his declaration. apd the
new Senate will almost certainly consent
to the submission to arbitration or SUCH
points as cannot be settled by negotla-
ton.
Dealing with Mr.. Taft's statement, that
many people are against arbitrating the
question on the ground that the United
States might lose. and that Great Britain
would not fight, the Standard proceeds:
People who think in this way are guilty
of that Grass folly which is almost worse
than criminality. 1t certainly is almost
that Great Britain should in
any circumstances break her now cent
ury-old peace with the great American
republic. Friendship with the United
States is and must continue to be the
basis of the principle OF English poilcy'
Desire of England.
''On practical and sentimental grounds
alike it is our most earnest desire that
the dominant power on the American
continent shall always be one which, in
race, language and ideals. is closely
akin to ourselves, and scarcely less I'M
portant is it. from the American point
of view. that British influence and
British prosperity should remain unfm-
paired
The Daily Telegraph says: "Mr. Tafts
speech is altogether worthy of such
statesman. lawyer. and friend OF peace
the world. Arbitration Is the
best way out OF a serious difficulty. and
Americans will feel the force of the
Presidents appeal to them, as nation
foremost in the work of international
peace in the past could have no better
beginning for the work of preparing to
celebrate the centenary of Anglo-Ameri-

AWAITED WITH INTEREST
Senator-Elect Broussard Has Confer

PUZZLED OVER CONTENTION
Taft Elaborates Opinion on Subject
as Expressed in His New
York Speech.

Senator-elect Broussard of Louisiana.
whose efforts in Congress were influential
in exempting coastwise vessels from the
payment Of tolls through the Panama
canal had a conference with President
Taft today on the attitude of Great Brit
ain. seeking TO ascertain from the Presi-
dent just what the position Of that coun-
try is or will be- Mr.. Broussard said he
could not understand England's attitude
under all the circumstances, and that he
would not be able to do so until he saw
that country's complaint in detail. He
wanted to know il Great Britain's bill Of
objections has been filed. or otherwise
made known, and was told by the Presi-
dent that 1t has not and for that reason
the administration is not in position to
outline its own plans or submit its own
side of the controversy.

Early Action Expected.

How soon the British government will
be ready to join issue on the question and
show its hand the President does not
know, although he supposes that things
will move along with some rapidity from
now on.
Mr.. Broussard contends that he Is un-
able to fathom how Great Britain can
present "A successful case, fnasmuch as
this country is not discriminating
against foreign vessels engaged in gen.
eral business. He holds, as he has
heretofore held in speeches. that in
exemptinE coastwise vessels this cOun-
try is doing just what it does in inter-
state railroads. the cOaStwiSe vessel

Senate's Assent Required.

Naturally there can be no arbitration
without the consent of the Senate. where
there is strong objection to arbitrating a
question regarded by many as local to
this country only. The Presidents plans
for arbitration will amount to nothing
without the support of the Senate. Both
democrats and republicans are divided as
TO the wisest course to pursue.

PLAN FOR AN IMPARTIAL
ARBITRATION OF TOLLS
GAINS FAVOR IN SENATE

Arbitration of the dispute with Great
Britain over the exemption OF American
coastwise ships from Panama eanal tolls
has found more favor in the Senate since
President Taft's explanation that the set
Element should be before a special
tribunal rather than before The Hague
court OF arbitration.
Senator'S familiar with the feeling in
the upper house of Congress on this ques-
ton admit today that the Presidents
explanation has done much to allay the
!ear of arbitration. Much of the argu-
ment against arbitration was based on
the statement that owing to the interest
of all nations in the Panama canal toll
question the permanent court of arbi-
tration at The Hague would not te i'm
partial.
IL the question were submitted TO a
special tribunal it probably would be on
the basis of a special agreement between
the United States and Great Britain, and
not under the terms of the general ar
duration treaty with England That
treaty provided for the submission of
differences of legal nature or relating

Senate's Attitude May Change,

Members of the Senate committee on
foreign relations pointed out today that
many changes may occur in the Senate
before the question comes to an issue
there, and il is hard to forecast at this
time the attitude OF the Senate or of
the committee that will have it i'm charge.
The exchange OF diplomatic notes pre-
liminary to a decision by the President
and the State Department to refer the
question TO the Senate probably will con-
sumo months. and then there will be
discussion of the exact terms of the uues-
ton to be arbitrated and of the pro-
cedure.
BY the time the question is presented
10 the Senate. il is pointed out, there
VIII be a new adm nistration in the
White House and State Department.

change by that time, IL is thought
and thus the basis of the dispute be
dropped.
Senator Cullom, chairman of the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations said
today the committee had taken no ac-
lion to indicate how the majority stood
regarding the arbitration OF the Pan
anna canal question. Arbitration, how
ever. is known To have active partisans
on the committee, Senators Lodge,
McCumber. Root and Burton among the
republicans and Senator'S Bacon and
Hitchcock among the democrats.

President on Arbitration.

President Taft has cleared up mis-
understanding about his speech for the
arbitration of the Panama canal issues
between the United States and Great
Britain by saying that he does not
favor submitting the differences to The
Hague tribunal Although he has not
given the matter of a tribunal much
thought, and will not do so until the
issues are made up. he is inclined to
favor a special arbitration board. COM
posed of an equal number of represent
atives of Great Britain and the United
States. That was the kind of arbitra-
ton body he had in mind when he
spoke in New York Saturday last
The President feels, as do practically all
public officials who have studied the Ques-
ton. that The Hague tribunal. under the
very circumstances of the case. would be
against this nation, the moral pressure
on the court from every European nation
being too great to withstand. A fair de-
cision could be expected from a court
composed of representatives of the two
countries directly and vitality interested in
the problems. AS the question progresses
further the President and Secretary Knox
will give the character of the arbitration
board serious thought.
