PRESTIGE OF U. S. AT STAKE
Opposition, He Says, Has Appeal
ed to Prejudice Rather Than
to Reason

Washington, April l3.-SeCretlry
| Bryan i'm statement made public to-
day lengthily reviews 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 he construed To be a
construction Of the Hay -Paunccfote
| treaty" but is simply IA refusal on the
part OF the United States to raise that
question in that way"
Mr.. Bryan discusses various features
of the subject-the limiting of debate
| in the House of Representatives., 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 attempt
ed to appeal TO prejudice rather than
to reason"
What has Great Britain done" he
asked ito Justify the accusation that
she is trying to dictate To this country
She has simply called attention TO the
terms Of the treaty and asked for ar
bitration of the Question OF Construc.
tion. in case this government differs
from the British government in the
construction TO be placed upon the Ian
guagc. The very men who are so in
sistent upon constituting the treaty To
permit free tolls, delayed for months
the ratification Of the treaty with
Great Britain because of their opposi-
ton to any arbitration of the subject.
In other words they construed the
treaty to permit discrimination, and
then objected to allowing any inter-
national court to express an opinion
on the subject. If. as matter of fact.
the treaty grants the rights which
Great Britain claims, is ii a surrender
to Great Britain for our nation to re-
peal a law that raised that question?
The repeal of the law cannot be con-
strued to be a construction of the trea-
~. II is simply a refusal on the part
OF the United States to raise that ques-
tion in that way. In the controversy
over the Welland Canal, Canada with
drew a discrimination which she had
made i'm favor of Canadian ships, in
order that no cause for friction with
the United states authorities in re-
gard To the matter should exist.
why cannot the United States with
draw a discrimination for the same
reason? When the treaty involved was
before the Senate for ratification an at
tempt was made TO so amend ii as To
permit a discrimination in favor of
coastwise vessels but it was voted
down by decided majority With this
record to support them. is it strange
that foreign nations question our right
to make an exception i'm favor of AM
crican vessels"
