The British government has 1oiioWeu
with painstaking care the development OF
American sentiment and legislation upon
the question OF canal tolls, and Its de-
termination to protest against the attn
tude taken by Congress came as no sur
prise to those who knew how the Eng
fish authorities were inclined to construe
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The most
interesting thing in connection with the
British note Of protest, perhaps, was the
admission in the very first printed page
of the note that If the United States
were to refund or remit the tolls charged
it would not be a violation OF the let
ter of the treaty. 1t will be seen from
this that even upon the British construc-
ton of this treaty not only can coastwise
shipping have an indirect freedom from
toll charges. but that this might also be
extended to the American vessels engaged
in foreign trade as well-that Is to say.
England admits that America has the
power to violate the treaty bv ind1recuon
but it assumes that Americans are TOO
honorable to make use of such suoter-
fuge.
Furthermore, the Innes note comedies
the right OF the United States to grant a
general subsidy. but objects to a SUD-
sidy that is based upon the amount or
use which the subsidized ships make
OF the canal. It also acknowledges that
il the exemption of coastwise American
shipping from toll charges were so reeu-
lated as to make it certain that only
bona fide coastwise traffic which is re-
served for American vessels would be
benefited ythis exemption. then Great
Britain could have no objection. But 1t
further adds that England does not be-
neve that such regulation Is possible. The
note puts the best face on the american
attitude. is generous in admissions. but in
sists on the observance Of the spirit OF
the treaties.

gave ont a. memorandum. He pronounced
the measure as one admirably drawn Tor

canal, for the government or the LANAI
Zone. and for furnishing to all the pa
irons Of the big waterway all the requl-
site facilities for docking and securing

the Innes note of protest. He declared

signed away its right to exempt its own
commerce directly or indirectly.
He contended that the article in the
treaty upon which the British contention
was based provided only for the neu-
tralization of the canal-in other words.
that all nations which compiled with the
conditions of the treaty and with the
rules laid down by the United States
should be treated alike when they seek
to use the waterway. He represented that
the measure of the neutrality was not a
comparison of the treatment accorded
American shipping with the treatment &C
corded the shipping Of other nations. but
the treatment it accorded one foreign
country as compared with another. Mr..
Taft then proceeded to contend that the
British protest, II yielded to by the
United States, would take away from this
country the right to regulate it's own
shipping right that no nation would
think Of surrendering.
