Makes Careful Analyses Of
CIayton-BuIwer and of Hay
PaunCefote Treaty StipuIa-
tions and Provisions.

In other words, VIC could not tolerate
the idea of a canal that was not
made neutral by a very solid ard
lasting international guarantee.
The chief cause of our lively ap-
TTChensions on this score lay in the
disc Cieting fact that England own
ID considerable territory in Central
America, and. moreover, showed a
very decided tendency to acquire
still more. At that time, the Mica
raEua route was generally regarded
as the most feasible one, and the
fact that England had a protecto-
rate over Mosquito" a prov
iECe. or state. of Nicaragua-and
Eep seeking peTsistenuy to extend
tht northern boundary of this pro-
tectorate, even 20 include Greytown,
the Atlantic terminal of the prob
able canal route. furnished us no
unreasonable grounds for suspicion
that she sought to command the
territory through which the canal
hight some day pass.
British aggressions in Central
America not only gave rise to this
suspicion, but also seemed to bid
defiance to the much-worshiped
Monroe doctrine.
Acute Situation In 1850
The situation, threatening enough
at all times, became very acute when
England suddenly attempted to ac-
quire Tfgre Island, near the pro-
posed entrance of the canal. So in
famed became public opinion
Throughout the United States that
war actually threatened, and 1t may
not be going too far to say that a
conflict was only averted by the
C:nyton-Bulwer treaty of April u,
1SJ.
By the terms of this instrument.
England was willing to cease her
efforts to enlarge her Central Ameri-
can territory, provided only that the
United States would promise never
10 build an Isthm,an canal without
first joining with England in guar
antec of it's neutrality.
To this end, both powers promised
TO erect no fortifiCItions along its
course, and they gave a most solemn
pledge never 10 seek any eNclu-
sive control over any canal ever to
be built.
Such. then. was the situation after
the ratification of this Clayton-Bul-
wer compact. There were very
grave misunders'andin4s about
some of the terms of this treaty.
and its abrogation was repeatedly
urged and even demanded by the
Senate later on, but whatever
there may have been Of misunder-
standing was later cured by Eng

this disputed Interpretation OF the
Hay Pauncefot. treaty.
This discord with Great Britain
has arisen in this way:
About two years ago Congress,
when enacting certain legislative
measures concerning the manage
ment and control of the Panama
canal, exempted American vessels
engaged in the cOastwise trade from
payment of chaTgs fcr the use OF
the canaal. all foreign ships being
subjected to scale of tolls.
Review of the Conditions.
England at once protested against
this discrimination, on the ground
that it violated a clause IN the Hay
Paunccfote treaty, a compact en-
tered into by the United states and
Great Britain in 1890, in which the
contracting parties agreed to neil
traliZation of the water way with
a toll basis of equality for ships Of
ali nations"
However the difference with Eng
land in this matter may be ultimate
ly adjusted. whether we are right
or wrong in our Interpretation of
the treaty, the fact cannot well be
Controverted that the President Is
acting wisely in seeking to prevent
legislation that may even seemingly
violate an international obligation.

takes a steD backward in the course
OF civilization.
To get at the real merits or this
question, il is necessary to take a
brief review of the treaty Itself.
and more especially of the relations
OF the two countries in respect TO
the canal before the treaty was en-
tered into.
The Words, "All Nations"
Upon the face OF the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty itself. the issue can be
narrowed down 10 a small circle
drawn around the words all ma
tiors." In this clause. the United
States agrees to fix tolls on basis
of equality for all nations. Does
this phrase "alI nations" include the
United States. or does II not?
II II includes the United States,
then il is clear that Mr.. Hay gave
I'D what would appear to be a ma
tional right TO exempt our own YES
sells from costs in using Our own
waterway. He limited our own jur-
isdiction over our own canal. III
such is the case. then we must have
received something from the other
paItv as a quid pro quo Tor such a
renunciatiOn Of natural right.
Let us. therefore. go back I" re-
view the circumstances which led

Prior to 1850, the year of tn" Clay

states or, indeed. OF any othe" nation
constructing canal between the
Atlantic and the Pacific, notwith-
standire that several constructive
schemes had been advanced. and II
was generally felt that some day the

The Real Apprehension.

Basis of Understanding.

l.p TO this point then. the one
concern of the United States in the
matter of canal policy was to make
positive and assured the intcrna;ion-
al guarantee of u Itraity OF any
waterway across thu Isthmus and
to remove every doubt or threat
that might stand in the way OF
such q desirable conclusion.
To accomplish this, we even went
SO tar as TO agree never to acquire
any TERRITORY in Central America
for the purpose uf canal cOnstruC-
ton. The idea was simply that
any canal. whenever, and by whom
soever built. should pass through a
neutral territory. should not be for
titled. and that. in fact. the canal
should be regarded much in the
light of an arm or the sea, fash
toned by nature and not by man.
The events leading I'd 10 the civil
war. and the internal dissensious
that followed, put quletus for
many years upon canal schemes. al
though the question was never
wholly lost sight of. With Presi-
dent Grant there appears TO have
originated the idea of a canal owned
and solely controlled by the United
States, with no guarantee of nell
trality whatever. This notion be-
came crystalliZed into a national
policy about the year 1890. There
after. until Cleveland became Presi-
dent. efforts were most vigorously
made bv every Secretary of State
to circumVent the prohibitions to
such a canal policy on our part as
set forth in the paragraphs Of the
Clayton-Bulwe- treaty. With the
Cleveland Administration there was

Question of Good Faith.

considerations of the merits Of the
case, the mere fact that there exists
a disagreement with a treaty power
