WASHINGTON, Jan. os-Secretary
against the exemption of American
coastwise shipping from Panama canal
tolls assures the British government
that domestic coastwise trade will not
be permitted to extend operation into
foreign competitive fields.
The reply also gives assurance that
increased tolls will not be laid on
foreign shipping to balance the re-
mission to American ships. If Great
Britain is not satisfied with these
points. America proposes a special com
mission of adjustment.
The communication is devoted to the
purpose of reducing to the smallest
point and number the issues upon
which the two governments failed to
agree, and as to these-only two--it is
contended that they are entirely sus-
ceptible of adjustment by diplomatic
means and without recourse to arbitra-
tion.
SPECIAL COMMISSION SUGGESTED
If this course should not prove ac-
ceptable to the British government, it
is suggested that the whole contro-
versy be referred to special commits
sion of inquiry, provision for which
was made in the unratified Knox
Bryce general arbitra tion treaty. That
convention was approved by the senate
with an amendment which curtailed
the pouar of tho spaoiol communicative, of
inquiry to mere investigation and re-
port and refused to permit the COM
mission to bind either country to a
course of arbitration in its findings.
Because of this amendment President
Taft so far has declined to consum-
mate the treaty by exchanging ratif-
cations with the British government.
To meet the needs of this present
issue, Secretary Knox now offers to
give life to the treaty by an Immediate
exchange of notifications. which would
insure the existence of general arbi
tration treaty between America and
Great Britain after the lapse of the
existing Pauncefote treaty June
next. AS an alternative. the secretary
is willing that a commission be created
for the special purpose of ascertaining
the facts in regard to the effect upon
British shipping of the Panama canal
tolls act and the presidents proclama-
tion on fixing the tolls.
BASED ON APPREHENSION
Much of the secretary's argument
rests upon his contention that Sir Ed
ward Grey's protest, being made in ad
vance of the issue of the presidents
proclamation fixing the tolls. Is entirely

day to Postmaster General Hitchcock.
They involve stamp brokers and con-
fdential employees of large business
concerns throughout the United states.

inspectors from some Of the brokers

was learned that stamps Of all classes
and denominations stolen by burglars
from postoffices and embezzled by en-
ployes from great business houses and
manufacturing establishments were
purchased and resold by the brokers
at prices far below their face value
CRIME TO CUT PRICE OF STAMPS
The postal laws make crime
punishable by imprisonment to sell any
stamp issued by the government for
less than it's face value Investiga-
tions disclosed the fact that in addi-
ton to selling the stamps for less than
the price for which they could have
been purchased from the government.
the brokers knew that the stamps
were stolen when they purchased them.
Inquiries showed that brokers, in
some instances, entered into con-
spiraey with employees of business
houses to buy at prices agreed upon
all the stamps the clerks could steal.
The first of series OF indictments
resulting from the Investigations was
handed down sealed in New York yes
