TOLLS ISSUE
Senator lltze Addresses Senate
Today in Support of Ex.

SAYS NATIONS DISTRUST US
Decent Respect to Opinion of
Mankind, He Declares, In
spires His Position
SAYS NATIONS OlSTRUST US

Washington, April 9-Senator Lodge,
ranking Republican member of the for
! leign relations committee, addressed the
senate today in support of President
Wilson's Panama canal tolls policy He
maintained vigorously the legal right
OF the United states to exempt It's
shipping, foreign as well as coastwise.
from tolls, but declared that "a de-
cent respect to the OPINIONS of MAN.
kind and the "distrust and In some
cases dislike" with which the United
States is regarded abroad. demanded
prompt repeal of the exemption clause
! Of the canal act.
Whether we shall insist upon giving
to our ships two or three millions Of
dollars in a disputed way is. in my
conception "a very small question COM
pared To the larger issues which are
here involved" said the senator.
when the year 1909 opened, the Unit
ed States occupied a higher and
stronger position among the nations
of the earth than at any period i'm ou-
history. Never before had we pos
sessed such an influence IN interna-
tional affairs, and that influence had
been used bencfcently and for the
worlds peace in conspicuous instances
at Portmouth and at Algeciras. New
or before had our relations with the
various states of Central and South
America been so good. 1t seemed as
II the shadow of suspicion which, ow-
ing to our dominant and at times dom
inecrinS power, had darkened and chill
ed our relations with the people of I.a-
tin America had at last been lifted.
This great position and this command
ing influence have been largely lost.
Other Nations Distrust Us.
II am not i'm the councils of the pres
ident of the United States but believe
that during the past year the present
position of the United States in it's
foreign relations has become very APP
parent To him, as il las To other re-
sponsibile and rejecting men, and
with this appreciation of our present
position has come the earnest wish To
retrace some of our steps at least, and
20 regain, 50 far as possible, the high
plane which we formerly occupied. II
would be an obvious impropriety to
point out the specific conditions of our
present relations with the various ma
tions both in the old world and the
new; il is enough to note the fact that
we are regarded by other nations witN
distrust and in some cases with dis
ike. Rightly or wrongly, they have
come tu believe that we are not To be
trusted; that We make our internation-
al relations the sort Of politics and
treat them as if they were in no wise
different from questions of domestic
legislation. This has not been i'm ac-
cord with our history or our position
only once have we abrogated n treaty
and then actual, If not declared war
existed We have scrupulously observ-
ed our international agreements, and
where differences have arisen we have
settled them not with the high hand
