port of President Wilson's policy to re-
peal the provisions of the Panama can

shipping from tolls, Senator Thornton,
Democrat, Of Louisiana, said the presi-
dent had informed him that in his
judgment the repeal of the exemption
clause Is necessary for the continuance
OF our present friendly relations with
foreign powers and the success of our
foreign policy"
Senator Thornton is a member of the
1nteroceanic Canal Committee, which
urged toll exemption and is one OF sew
eral Democratic members of that COM
mittee who have told the president
they would reverse their position. He
said that he formerly favored exemp-
ton, believing that the United States
had the legal and moral right under
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty to enact
such legislation"
II believe now just as firmly as be.
FORE" continued the senator, that the
exemption clause Of the Panama canal
act is not violation of our treaty oh.

ways did the substantial difference be.
tween our right Of exemption and our
enforcement Of that right.
considering the canal tolls exemp.
