THE PANAMA CANAL
TOLLS QUESTION

In view OF the split In the Dem
ocratic ranks at Washington over
President Wilson's request for the
repeal Of the Panama Canal Tolls
Bill, a complete review Of the entire
question should prove interesting.
The entire controversy hinges on
a clause in the bill designed to en-.
courage American shipping which
provides that all ships engaged in
the American coastwise trade shall
pass through the canal free of charge.
Since only ships of United States
register are permitted to engage n
our coastwise trade this limits the
free passage privilege to ships flying
the American flag.
Great Britain protested against this
clause when the bill was up for discus
sion, basing her protest mainly on
two treaties. the first Of wholch was
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty of 1850
which bound both the United States
and Great Britain not to obtain any
exclusive control over the canal and
pledged that the canal should De
kept open "on equal terms" to the
subjects and citizens OF both coun-
tries. This treaty was superseded by |
the HayPauncefote treaty, which
provided for exclusive control Of the
canal by the United States but did
not change the provision regarding
equal terms On the contrary, 1t
repeated that provision and extended
1t to the shipping ofall nations con-
forming to the rules OF operation
that might be made.
Great Britain protests against the |
free tolls provision on the grounc |
that it violates the Hay-Pauncefote !
treaty in that 1t discriminates against
the ships OF all other nations and in
favor of American ships. She has no
objection to our. granting a subsidy 10
our ships II we desire 10 do so, but
she maintains that II our ships pass
through the canal free OF charge then
the charges on all other shipping
must be proportionally higher in Or
der to detray the cost OF operating the
canal In other words, II we can
fix a rate of 81 20 ton with Ameri-
can shipping free, we might be able
to charge only 81 a ton II American
ships paid their fair share. The treaty
therefore, according to Great Britain
has been violated in that we have not
kept our promise to estabiish Just
and equitable tolls"
Identically the same situation arose
according to Great Britain, under
the treaty of Washington In 1871,
when we protested against Canadss
rebates on certain freight on the Wei
land canal. We claimed that that
was h violation of the equal rights
guaranteed to us in boundary waters.
and in the face of our protest the
rebate system was abandoned,
President Wilson and his support
ers agree that England is entirely
right in her demands and urge that
the discriminating clause be ,mmedi-

ately repealed, lest our national hon.
u suffer. Agreat many Democratic
congressman, however, are still in.
clined to agree with ex-Presiden. Taft
and the congress which passed the
bill. hence President Wilson's Difficult
ties.
These members of the opposition
base their stand on the fact that
all OF these treaties are voided, so
far as the Panama Canal is concern
ed. by the following very important
fact: When the treaties were made
we did not own a foot of land in
Panama. They applied entirely to
foreign territory. Since that time
we have acquired absolute sovereign.
'ty over wide strip OF land across the
Isthmus known as the Panama Canal
zone. This land has become Ameri.
can territory and we have a perfect
right to perform any operations on 1t
which we may desire without asking
permission of any foreign power
whatsoever. II we wanted to dig a |
canal from Lake Michigan to the |
Mississippi river we should not have
to make a treaty with any foreign
power before beginning work. No one
would question our right to 90 as We
please there. Now the Panama can
al zone is just as much American ter
ritory as the state Of Illinois Is. Why
then, should we ask permission OF
Great Britain before making laws
governing the shipping across it!
The following is an extract from a
pertinent editoriay which appeared In
the N. Y. Evening Journal (Dem.)
some months ago.
"England's request to this country
% pull down the American flag over
he Panama canal and allow the
English to use that piece Of American
erritory as they please, is not at all
lew.
"a good many years ago, as early

hing of a struggle to make them give

little while she will give up the

The Smallest Golf Course.

What is probably the smallest golf
course in existence is to be found on
the May, the rocky islet which lies on
the north side of the mouth of the
firth of Forth, some five miles south of
Grail, on the coast of Fifeshire. The
island is about mile in length and
two and one-half furlongs in breadth
and has a surface of rather more than
100 acres, but as Il large part of it Is
unplayable for one reason or another
the course consists of only three holes.
To make the round it is necessary
to play the course six times. The dis
lance between the holes. however. is
considerable, and the links are decid-
eddy difficult of negotiation. The best
score is said to be seventy.-Pearson's
