WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. o.
President Wilson let It be known to-
day that from the first he regarded
as an unwise policy the insertion in
the Democratic national platform Of
the plank favorins the exception
OF American coastwisc ships from
the payment of Panama Canal tolls.
The President feels that II platform
declaration on such subject is re-
lated to circumstances that arise all
over the world, us we'll as in the
United States, and that only the cle-
ments which the United States can
control in the situation ought to be
binding. He feels that change OF
circumstances has arisen in ihe in
ternational aspect of the situation
which necessarily would change the
attitude of the country on the sub
icct.
