Washingtep, Jan "a Secretary
Knox's reply to the British protest
against the exemption Of American
coastwise shipping from Panama ca
mai tolls, assures the British govern
ment that domestic coastwise trade
win not be permitted to extend opera
tons into foreign competitive fields
and that increased tolls will not be
laid on foreign shipping to balance
the remission to American ships. If
Great Britain is not satisfied on these
points America proposes special
commission 81 adjustment

II this course should not prove ae.

Il is suggested that the whole con
troyersy be referred to a special cor-
mission OF inquiry provision for which
was made IN the nnratlfied Knox Bryce

secretary is willing that a commission
be created for the special purpose Of
aseertaining the facts in regard to the

Much Of the secretary's argument
rests upon his contention that sir Eli
