1 have called attention to the fact
that we as a nation are great deal
more In Canada's power so far as
canals are concerned, than she is in
ours. To be sure, we may let our
coastwise ships through the Panama
canal scot-free and deny Canada the
same right for her coastwise ships;
but when we do this let us be sure
we do not give the Canadians the
right to say that we are playing fast
and loose with treaty obligations.
For she controls the Georgian bay

of every city on the lakes and every
inland town the commerce of which
seeks the seas through Chicago, Pitts
burgh or any other railway centre
until we get so far south that 1t
turns toward the gulf or so far west
that it seeks the Pacific and west OF
the line running through Buffalo ana

Canada can hold this, the bulk of
our national commerce, in the hollow
of her hand by merely adopting sharp
practise and playing fast and loose
with her treaty obligations to us.
For our right TO equal use of these
channels leading from the lakes to
the Atlantic rests upon a treaty.
Therefore, as canny and cautious

no honor we had better think twice
before we break with Great Britain
and Canada on the Panama matter.
Will the British foreign office and
the Canadian government Rave any
right to feel that we have been

OF charging tolls through the Pam

own coastwise vessels?
Let us look at it. We have

II am certain that never in the

under such peculiar, quaint and even
humorous conditions as were those
which characterized the appearance
of Clara Louise Kellogg with her
English opera company in the little
city of Norwich. Conn. in the early
seventies"

years after the incident to which he
