American vessels from paying tolls on the
another plea for support of the British
government participating In the Panama

natter OF canal tolls and Great Britain's
abstract right not to participate In the
San Francisco exposition are minor mat

The paper reiterates the statement that
n Is not worth while for the sake of
100000 S5o0.Ooo) to embitter however
slightly the excellent relations OF the
two countries The paper asks how It is
possible for the Government to maintain
that the British business world is so
apathetic to the exposition that Il Is worth
while even the risk of offending American
opinIon, IN view OF the memorial sent to
the Government yesterday asking II to
reconsider its determination not to take
part In the exposition. Besides n ma
,or,,y Of the members Of Parliament the
slgnatories 10 this memorial include forty
manufacturers, thirty merchants. several
.-onmasters. colliery owners and bankers.
The Times links its comments on Pres
iien, Wilson's address on the Panama
Canal tolls matter with the new move
uent started in the House Of Commons
10 have Great Britain participate In the
panama-Pacihc Exposition. Although
pointing out that they are not on the same
plane. II says:
ut Is hardly conceivable that our
Government will again decline to crafty
American opinion and American senti-
rent They too must see that the large
thing TO do and the only thing we can
afford TO do must be to recognise the
v.sdon OF a voluntary withdrawal from a
7ostion that is misunderstood. President
wilson has shown how a mistake ought to
b. acknowledged and repaired. Surely
ne Government will not be deaf to the
lesson"
The Daily Mail and the Standard also
back W the appeal OF the Members Of the
Parliament and others for participation
IN the exposition.
