zone, provision authorizing the pres
ident To charge tolls to vessels using
the canal, with a proviso exempting
American coastwise vessels from such
charges. President Taft. i'm message
To Congress had urged the exemption.
The bill had been reported to the
House providing tolls for all vessels
hut the exemption provision was
adopted as an amendment. This
was i'm the bill as il went
to the Senate.
England Filed Protest.
Before the bill passed the Senate,

ment OF tolls would be TO violate the
Hay Pauncefote treaty whether the
tolls are not collected. or whether If
collected they are refunded. As ia
coastwise trade the British govern
ment thinks IL would be difficult 90
frame a provision which would not
do injustice To their interests"
The -Pauncefote treaty super
seeded the Clayton Bulwer treaty un-
der which Great Britain and the Unit
ed States We're. jointly TO build the
canal The Hay -Pauncefote agree
nent after providing rules FOR the
regulation OF the canal. based ON The
rules governing Suez canal traffic, set
forth:
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, SO that there
shall be no discrimination against any
such nation or its citizens or subjects
i'm respect of the conditions or charges
Of traffic or otherwise. Such condi-
lions or charges Of traffic shall be just
and equitable"
Much Diplomatic Correspondence.
The British note of protest started
"a lengthy diplomatic correspondence
on the subject Great Britain through
out claimed that the United States
could not, under the terms of the
treaty. make toll exemption of any
vessels. whether its own. or of other
nations. Secretary Knox, who con-
Quoted the correspondence for the
United States. i'm several lengthy notes
contended that the exemption of AM
erican coastwise shipping was in no
way a discrimination against other
traffic using the canal He asserted
that the exemption was in the nature
Of a subsidy. paid. not by imposing the
tolls for certain American vessels up
on other ships passing through the can

nance of the canal.
The avoidance Of possible fric-
tion," said the note. has been one of
the main objects Of those methods of
arbitration of which the United States
has been for so long a foremost and
consistent advocate"
Throughout the first year of Presi-
dent Wilson's administration there was
a constant agitation for the repeal Of
the exemption clause. The president
let it be known that he favored the
repeal. and on March :. 1914, he de-
livered an address to Congress i'm Joint
session. earnestly urging the repeal.
The exemption, he said, was a mis-
taken economic policy" and was lin
plain contravention of the Treaty"
Fight Prolonged in Senate.
THE large thing to do" said the
president, lis the only thing we can af-
ford To do; avoluntary withdrawal from
a position everywhere questioned and
misunderstood. We ought TO reverse
our action without raising the ques-
ton whether we were right or wrong.
and So once more deserve our reputa-
ton for generosity and the redemp-
ton of every obligation without quib-
BILE or hesitation.

foreign policy of the administration.
