HE ONCE SANG A
DIFFERENT TUNE
(From Fridays Daily.)
(By Winfield Jones.)

! WASHINGTON. March rs
That President Wilson is not con.
sistent in his announced determine.
ton to repeal the free tolls clause
of the Panama Canal Act, and that
the President has completely re-
versed his previous beliefs on the
tolls question, was shown conclu-
sively in the House last week by
Representative Joseph T. Knowland
of California.
The following occurred in the
House last Saturday. and is given
verbatim. as taken from the House
proceedings OF that day:
Mr.. J. r. KNOWLAND. Mr.
Speaker. wish to extend my re-
marks by inserting in the Record a
speech delivered by President VIII
son to $500 farmers at Washington
Park. n. J., August IS. l912,in
which he deplores the non-eXistence
OF an American merchant marine
and directs attention to the Pana-
ma canal, which he says will allow
the farmers to ship their pro,.ucts
10 the Pacific by way OF Atlantic
ports in coastwise steamers. He then
points out that the House and SEN
ate have passed bill for free tolls
for American ships through the
canal and prohibiting ships to oper-
ate through the waterway owned
by American railroad companies, de
claring that everything done in the
interest of chaep transportation is
done directly for the farmer. He
winds up by stating that the plat
form is not molaSses 10 catch flies
and that gentlemen who talk one
way ond vote another are going
to be .etired to private and quiet
retreats.
GOV. WILSON. in part:
Now, there is another matter you
know, We are digging a tremendous
ditch across the Isthmus of Pana-
ma. 1t is predicted by the engin-
GERS in charge of that colossal en-
terprise that we shall be able to
open it to the ships OF the world
by the year 1915. What interest
have You in opening it 10 the ships
OF the world? We do not own the
ships of the world. By a very in
genious process, which | would not
keep you standing in the hot sun
long enough to outline, the legis-
ature OF the United States has des-
troyed the marchant marine of the
United States. The chief road by
which your crops travel to the
Orient is through the Suez Canal.
They do not SO around by the Pa
ciic. Most of your maps do not
show you the short road to the
Orient, because they are spread out
flat
I'll you will get a globe and
draw circle around the globe you
will see your short road is through
the Suez Canal, not across the Pa
cihc. and that the Western farmer
therefore, has to ship his crops
across the continent in order to
reach the ships that are to take that
that road. And when his crops
reach the port, do they find Ameri-
can ships waiting for them? Not
at all. Il most years not a single

Some ships carry the American
flag through that canal, but they are
mostly private yachts A friend of
mine who has just Travelled around
the world told me that he did not
see the American flag once between
New York and Hong Kong, going
by the way OF the canal, unui he

grain and cargoes they are going

"One OF the great objects in cut
ting that great ditch across the 18th
mus OF Panama is to allow farmers
who are near the Atlantic TO ship

and then have coastwise steamers

no ships to dc this, and one of the
bills pending,-passed. ] believe.

cially.
Last nights visit of the State
officers was prompted by i d.Ible
purpose, to settle the miSu der
standing of the mobilization ques-
ton and prod the local business
men along to extend the promised
support to the platoon.
If the suggestion of the adjutant
general and Lieutenant Lowry OF
the Machine Gun Platoon is follow
ed out, the business men by their
financial support will also open the
way toward a muster of full mill
tia company. This will mean a
stipend of so a month from the
State instead OF $50 and also due
recognition for Prescott's feeling to-
ward the military affairs of the
State.
Brief addresses were also made
by Lieutenant Malcolm H. Lowry,
Major II. H. Donkersley and Le-
Roy Anderson, former captain OF
the local company. Acting Presi-
dent II. D. Aiken closed the mill
tia discussion with the announce
ment that he would appoint a mill
tary committee within a few days
to start the ball a-rolling.
