OF CANAL TOLLS
Authoritive Announcement is
Made Following Meeting
Of Cabinet
WILL NOT OPPOSE
POLICY OF TAFT
His View That Subject is
Open to Arbitration Will
Be Outlined in Reply
of Secretary Knox

WASHINGTON, Jan. AFTER a
long cabinet meeting il was announc-
ed authoritatively that the question
Of arbitration of free canal tolls for
American coastwise shipping Will be
settled b ythis administration.
This statement was made in view
of THE reports that there would not
he sufficient time for the president
and the state department TO get tho
matters at issue In shape for presenta-
ton TO the present senate.
II was also stated authoritiativeiy
that all of the members of the cabi-
net have agreed not TO oppose publicly
the presidents insistance that the
free tolls question is arbItratbie with
Great Britain's.
Two of the cabinet officials regard
England's proposition as offensive in
that IL Is attemptin gto challenge the
right of the United States to legis-
late for itself under the Euise of de-
nanding that the Panama tolls ques-
ton il one OF treaty rights. Both of
these officials declare without hesita-
ton that the United States had an
absolute right 10 legisiate, treaty or
no treaty. and that 1t would be stretch
ing the amenities too far TO admit
that Great Britain or any other ma
ton has the right TO challenge the
acts of congress.
TWO other members Of the cabinet
said that the reply OF Secretary Knox
will be given out Just as the protest
OF Great Britain was given out SIM
ultanenusly in London and in the
United States.
The function OF Secretary Knox
which seems to have been superseded
or mad. nugatory will he 10 answer
the assertions OF Sir Edward Grey.
The decision as to arbitration will he
made, i'm fact, has already been made
by President Taft and as pointed out.
the fixed determination OF the cabinet
members is not TO 20 on record in in
terviews as opposing him.
