THE PRESIDENT WILL ADDRESS CONGRESS
 ON TOLLS QUESTION
Will Set Forth Opini. n That House Should Reverse It. self and Observe Hay
 Pauncefote Treaty

Washington. March 3.-Presdent Will son will personally address joint session of Congress Thursday. advocating re- peal of the clause in the Panama canal act which exempts American coastwlse shipping from the payment of tolls, opinion that Congress should reverse with the majority of leaders in both houses for a joint session at 12:3O D. m. Thursday. The President has prepared a brief address, in which he sets forth his opinion that Congress should reverse itself and keep the obligations of the Hay -Pauncefote treaty, which he believes were violated by the Panama canal act. The President holds that national honor is at stake, and that European nations should not be allowed to believe treaties made by the American government are not adhered to both in letter and Tn spirit. The exemption clause, he points out, was passed on the assumption that while the Hay-Pauncefote treaty guar anteed equal treatment to all nations in the matter of tolls, the document was to be interpreted as meaning all nations except rhe United States.
 No Debatable Ground
 The President believes there should De no debatable ground on treaties once made. Originally he had intended to de- liver message on this subject. He had conferred with senators and members Of the House and sentiment in favor of the repeal appeared to him to be stronf. Some leaders, however were of the opinion that international phases of the situation should be emphasized in a communication from the President to Congress to impress upon those who had voted fol. the exemption previously the necessity of changing their votes regard less of domestic questions involved.
 Since the tolls question was before Congress last the President has told sen ators that European nations generaiIy were taking the view that the United States had violated the Hay -Pauncefote treaty The governments of the world. he made 1t clear. were beginning to be- lieve the United States was not sincere in construction of treaties.
 The message to Congress Will open the fight in earnest.
 Senator O'Gorman of the inter-oceanic canals committee, is expected to oppose the Presidents view Lately it has been said a majority of the committee is confident the repeal will be passed republicans joining democrats in mak- ing the change.
 Sir Cecil Spring Rice. the British ann bassadQr. discussed the Mexican situa- tion with the President tonight. but White House officials said the canal tolls subject was not mentioned.

Washington, March 3.--Creat Britain's pronouncement through Sir Edward Grey that the United States was in no way responsible for the recent execution at Juaroz of William S Benton, British subject. and that the American govern 'ment would not be asked to resort to force as result of the incident was the chief factor in the Mexican situation today.
 President Wilson. in conference to- night with Sir Cecil Spring Rice the British ambassador aud Sir Lionel Gar den. British minister to Mexico is un derstood to have expressed his approval and appreciation of the friendly senti- ments uttered by the British foreign secretary in the House of Commons. Tension which had been felt here over the Killing of Benton. arose largely be- cause 1t was believed Great Britain might press the United States into taking dras- tie steps to obtain reparation.
 II. s. Not Obligated
 The British view that the United States Is not obligated to demand reparaton for Great Britain relieved the tension to some extent. although 1t Is clear that the Benton incident has developed an in tention on the part of the American gov ornment to take mone aggressive atti- tude toward the conterding factions in Mexico The entie situation was dis cussed at length tonight in the confer ence. It was the first time the British amba ssador had called on the President since the Benton execution, all his con ferences having been with Secretary Bryan He came primarily to introduce Sir Lionel Garden. whose intimate knowl- edge of the political and diplomatic situa- ton and Mexico City enabled him to give the President first hand information on conditions there.
 For Mutual Information"
 White House officials said afterward the conference was for mutual informa- ton and that no plans had been sus- gested by Sir Lionel. The latter, who is en route to London, had been attacked in the American press as unfriendly to the American policy in Mexico. His meet ing with the President was most cordial. The President received his visitors in the private parors of the White House. Later Secretary Bryan attended dinner in honor of Sir Lionel given at the British embassy.
