Position Regarding Argu-
ment on Canal Tolls.

day, said that if the bill for the re-

to make it clear there would be no sur
render Of sovereignty over the canal,
he would vote for ii, but otherwise he
would not.
"If such amendments are voted
down." said Senator Kenyon. "and
vote for repeal in the parliamentary
situation then confronting us must be
construed as n vote in favor of the
English theory of the treaty con-
struction. then ! shall be compelled to
vote against the repeal. trust such
situation may not arise. | earnestly
hope the Simmons amendment or the
Norris or Works amendment may be
adopted. My preference Is rather for
the Works amendment"
Senator Kenyon spoke at length in
favor of submitting the controversy
over the treaty to arbitration. He
made an eloquent plea for arbitration
as the right way to settle the dispute
over treaty construction He said it
was unfortunate the president based
his request chiefly on the statement
that the present law was in violation
