JOINT RESOLUTION
SENT TO COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON. April 21.-A de-
mand for abrogation of two treaties
with Great Britain bearing upon 18th
mian canal rights, presented to the
senate today in resolution by SEN
ator Chamberlain. brought new ele-
ment into the canal controversy now
in progress between this country and
Great Britain over the right of the
United States to exempt American
coastwise ships from the payment OF
tolls.
Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the
inter-oceanic canals committee, which
must handle canal legislation in the
senate, Endorsed tonight the principle
embodied in the Chamberlain resolu-
ton.
The Chamberlain resolution would
require the president to proceed at
once to terminate the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty of 1901 and the Clayton
Bulwer treaty of 1852. which it super
seded. In statement Senator Cham
berlain said the treaties and records
would show that the United States
never planned to give Great Britain
such trenty rights as would Justify
the protests that country has made.
Senator O'Gorman said;
Senator Chamberlain IS resolution
is mere concrete statement OF the
position l took IN the last session that
he believed the resolution would pass
by large majority if it came 10 a
vote.
A meeting of the inter oceanic can
ais committee had been called for to-
morrow, but it was postponed until
next Tuesday. Senator Root q bill foI
repeal of the free toll provision now
is before the committee. 1t was ap-
parent today that much OF the sup
port that was mustered In last ses-
sion to prevent the change of free toll
provision. will now be brought to the
support OF the plant to abrogate treat
les that may be interpreted rs giving
Great Britain any ground for protest
