With the organization of the House

merce completed, ard the first meeting
called for this afternoon, there may be
expected shortly some definite action re-
latng to the House policy toward the eX-
emption of tolls fer American ships pass

sells will be using the canal and the
two great oceans will be linked for inter
oceanic commerce before the toll question,
now uppermost in the minds of eXecu-
tiyes cabinets and diplomatists of this
and other countries, is settled.
The matter may be settled dipoinatical-
Is. or il may be settled by the House of
Representatives and the Senate getting
together and deciding to repeal the
clause III the Panama canal act which
provides that American ships shall not
paw a penny TO go through the big ditch.
Either Of these methods Of settlement
will take a long time. Diplomacy Is
necessarily a slow and cautious method.
and the hes. informed men at the Cap
itol seem to think that the differences

not be settled without gruelinS tussle.
