FREE TOLLS QUESTION Is
STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION

iCANp lo.-i ne
reading public may recall that a year
ago, or somewhere thereabouts, there
was little fuss with Great Britain
about those Panama Canal tolls.
Most folks have probably forgotten
about the matter. The newspapers
haven't been printing first page
stuff" about it for some time. One
would think that the question had
been sidetracked.
1t hasn't, however. The State De-
partment tape still entwines Great
Britian's notes. President Wilson has
the controversy down in his memo
randum book. 1t is still pending and
will in all probability, be pending when
the big waterway is completed some
time in October or November.
The tolls dispute may be settled
automatically 1t may be disposed
of by leaders of the Senate and House
collaborating on a scheme to repeal
the provision to which Great Britain
| objects-that of granting American
vessels free passage through the canal
There are several other modes of set
tlement-but all will take long time
Diplomacy is necessarily slow and
cautious method Red tape is found
nowhere in such liberal quantities
or is used so extensively as at the
state department. And the present
session Of congress- wiit- be devoted
exclusively to the tariff and currency,
according to present plans.
Nevertheless there are several Con-
gressional leaders who plan to bring
the Panama tolls controversy up this
session, if they possibly can. The
House Interstate and Foreign Com
merce committee has several bills be-
fore it touching upon the matter. Rep
resentative Admonson, of Georgia,
chairman of the committee, has al
ready directed that his committee
study the question thoroughly in order
to be ready for work. Adamson is
unalterably opposed to the free tolls
plan. He fought it bitterly in the
house, being the only Democratic
member of his committee to present
an adverse report to the Panama
measure. The Georgian thinks that
congress will now appeal the OBJ
jectionable paragraph. He points out
that the section was passed by the
scant majority of sixteen in the last
congress, and he believes since that
time the legislators have been able to
figure out that its operation would be
mere granting of legalized mono
poly to few shipping concerns of the
trade between the Atlantic and Pacific.
On the senate side O'Gorman, chair
man of the Interoceanic Canals COM
mittee, takes an opposite view from
Adamson. There is now a movement
on foot in this committee to give Presi-
dent Wilson power to suspend the ex-
emption clause. This can only be done
however, by the passage of resolu-
tion and it is believed that the house
would refuse to concur in such a plan.
House leaders think the scheme a
strategic one designed obviously and
solely as test of the free tolls SEN
timent of the new members.
The resolution introduced by Rep
resentative Thetus Sims, of Tennessee
and now pending in Adamson's COM
mittee. will be the first TO be consider
ed by the Interstate Commerce COM
mittee members. 1t repeals the ex-
emption clause, Sims thinks the bill
will pass the house, but it is doubt
full about the senate.
