COLOMBIAN SHIPS
. TO PAY NO TOLLS
Provision Is Contained in
Treaty Recently Signed
at Bogota.
0'GORMAN SEES PAPERS
Fact Englands Consent Was Asked in
Root-Cortez Pact Said to Prove
Right to Be Heard.
O'GORMAN SEES PAPERS

Senator OGorman yesterday was per-
mitted by State Department officials to
see q .respondence and other documents
relati to the consent given by Great
Brita to the United States granting
Colombia free passage through the Pan
anna Canal for Colombian government
vessels. 30.
Mr.. Bryan admitted that not only was
this concession granted Colombia with
Great Britain's consent in what is known
as the Root-Cortez treaty with Colom-
bia, but that a similar provision is con-
tained in the new treaty with Colombia,
signed at Bogota three days ago. The
understanding is that Great Britain was
not asked about the matter in the ne
gotiation of the new treaty with CO.
lombia, but that II was taken for granted
that the consent she gave Secretary Root
still stands.
In this event, Colombian ships will en-
joy, with the sanction of Great Britain.
a privilege which the United States is
deprived of, il the British view is ac-
cepted. That is, Colombian ships OF war
will be granted free passage through the
canal. while American warships, so far
as anything Great Britain has said, will
be required to pay tolls.
BeIIIgerent Rights Granted.
Inc greatest concession maze 10 the
United States by Great Britain in this
regard was the statement thatl Great
Britain did not deny the right of this
government TO exercise its belligerent
rights in protecting the canal. But II
has been held that belligerent rights ex-
list only in time of war, and that, there7
fore. adherence to the British view re-
quires the payment OF tolls by American
warships using the canal
Mr.. Knox held that the British gov
ernment certainly could not question the
right of the United States to send its
own vessels through free Of charge, but
he was arguing oppositely to the pres
ent position of the United States gov
ernment and no reply has yet come from
Great Britain indicating an acceptance
of this view.
Right of England.
That Great Britain's consent was asked
before the Colombian government was
granted this special privilege in the use
OF the canal yesterday was regarded in
some quarters as conclusive evidence
that the right of the British to be heard
in regard to canal tolls was fully rec
ognized by the United States at the
time Mr. Root was Secretary of State
and negotiated the treaty in question.
This fact is substantial support of the
position of those fayoring repeal Of the
exemption clause favoring American
ships, IL is claimed.
Whether all the correspondence in con-
nection with this matter Will be sent
to the Senate Mr.. Bryan did not say.
He stated that the showing Of this cor
respondence to Senator O'Gorman was
quite informal
