Pueblo, Col, April 9.--After break

the exemption clause in the reguia-
tions.
Il am of opinion" he said, that
under the terms of the treaty we have
legal right to exempt our own ves-
sells, no mater what trade they are en-
gagged in. In my view, if we admit
that we have not the legal right to
exempt from tolls vessels engaged in
foreign trade we have no right to eX-
vessels of the United States engaged
in any trade. l think, however, that
we have the legal right to exempt or
refuse to collect tolls from all vessels
Of the United States
After reciting his own connection
with the treaty negotiations. Senator
Lodge cOntinued:
II took the view then that under
the terms Of the treaty of November
is, 1901, the United States was at
liberty to exempt it's own vessels Of
commerce from the payment Of tolls
if it saw fit to do SO. and voted
against the barred amendment, which
made this right explicit, because !
thought it needless.
1T is clear that the United States
has rightfully and in accordance with
nf ~ hut n
through territory which is it's own for
canal purposes, although the ultimate
sovereignty remains with the Repub.
lie OF Panama, and the treaty accords
to the United States all rights incident
to building the canal. 1t is also clear
that in undertaking the canal on these
terms the United States did so with
the purpose of excluding all foreign
control beyond the stipulation to pre-
serve the general principle OF neu-
tralization and for equality Of terms
to all users Of the canal.
Those who deny the right Of the
United States to exempt it's own YES
sells rest their case on the language
Of Article s, which declares that
The canal shall be free and open
to the vessels of commerce and Of war
Of all nations observing these rules,
on terms Of entire equality'-and
more particularly upon the proposition
that the words all nations must in
clude the United States. l freely ad-
NIT that this is fairly arguable point,
but 1T does not seem to me that the
words all nations in this connection
necessarily include the United
states"
