Framed Only for Time Of War.

Lewis Nixon, guest OF the American
Manufacturers Export Association at
luncheon at the Whitehall Club yesterday
pleaded for the exemption OF American
ships from Panama Canal tolls and de-
nounced the la Toilette seamens bill.
We are told that II We look out for
the interests OF American trade We shall
be guilty OF breach of honor with
Great Britain and other countries" said
Mr.. Nixon This country has done more
than any other nation In standing too
long and too honorably by treaties out
OF accord with American welfare"
The export men applauded loudly. They
also applauded the remarks of their presi-
dent, Charles II. Jennings, when he said;
Some people want ship subsidies and
some do not, but We can unite on one
thing. We are business men and are GO
ing to see that our representatives. In
Congress do what we want them to do.
Now what we want and what We are
going 10 have is a merchant marine.

"In 1926 we were carrying 93 per cent.

''Slx men sit In an office In London and

tory products and how far we shall con-
troll our own shipping.
II will take any twelve fair minded
men and convince them In thirty minutes
of our entire right to free tolls without
regard to the Hay Pauncefote treaty"
Mr. Nixon read the clause OF the treaty
which has been cited as forbidding tho
exemption OF American ships from canal
tolls and said:
'"To prefer our own ships ID no more "A
subsidy than freelisting an article made
abroad Is subsidizing the foreign manu-
facturer. We need not fear discrimina-
