in sane conservation and a declar-

resolutions adopted Saturday by the
western governors at their closing
session here. They voiced the belief
that as rapidly as the states prepare
themselves to carry out such policy
the federal government should with

BRYAN DISCUSSES
TOLLS QUESTION
SECRETARY or STATE ARGUES
FOR REPEAL OF TOLLS ExEMP-
TIoN IN PANAMA CANAL ACT.
Declares That Opponents to Repeal
Had Attempted to Appeal to Pref
udiee Rather Than to Reason
in Their Arguments.

MISUNDERSTANDING Bryan, in
a statement made public Sunday, re-
views at length the Panama tolls
question, and in the course of the
statement declares that the repeal of
the tolls exemption in the Panama
canal act cannot be construed to be
a construction of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty" but is simply a refusal On,
the part of the United States to raise
that question in that way"
Mr.. Bryan discussed various fea-
lures of the SUBJECTIVE limiting of
debate in the house of representa-
tiyes, the Baltimore platform and the
effect of repeal on the treaty.
Claiming that the opponents Of the
repeal had seized upon the charge
that the president was "surrendering
to England" Mr.. Bryan declared that
the opposition to the repeal had at
tempted to appeal ito prejudice
rather than to reason"
What has Great Britain done" he
asked, ito justify the accusation that
she is trying to dictate to this coun.
try. She has simply called attention
to the terms of the treaty and asked
for arbitration of the question, in
case this government differs from the
British government in the construc
tion to be placed upon the language.
The very men who are so insistent
on constituting the treaty to permit
free tolls delayed for months the rat
ification of the treaty with Great Brit
ain because of their objection to arbi
tration of any subject In other
words. they construed the treaty t
permit discrimination and then OBJ
5ected to allowing any internationa
court to express an opinion on the
subject. If, as matter of fact, the
treaty grants the rights which Grea
Britain claims, is it surrender t.
Great Britain for our nation to repea
a law that raised that question:"
