REPORT BILL TO
AMEND CANAL ACT
Vote to Repeal Clause Exempting
American Shipping.
SMITH ATTACKS PRESIDENT
Senator CrItIcIzes Wilson Because OF
His Attitude on Canal Tolls In
View Of Democratic
Platform.

Washington, March BY q vote
Of IA to 3, the house interstate COM
merce committee decided on Friday
to report favorably the bill repeating
the clause Of the Panama canal act
which grants free tolls to American
coastwise shipping.
After President Wilson had called
upon congress to act, Senator Chiffon
of West Virginia introduced bill to
amend the Panama canal act and per-
NIT the repeal of the clause exempting
American coastwise shipping from the
payment of tolls. The text Of the
provision reads:
The president notwithstanding
anything herein contained Is hereby
authorized and empowered by procla-
nation to make. suspend, alter,
change, or abolish any tolls contem-
plated or provided for by this act,
and may prescribe tolls to be charged
in any case In which tolls are pro-
hibited herein"
Comment upon the presidents mes
sage among members of the house
was widely divergent. Representative
Floyd of Arkansas of the judiciary
committee, said:
II absolutely approve Of the senti
ment expressed by President Wilson
We.made a great mistake in ever pro-
viding for free tolls"
Representative Doremus Of Michi-
gan. chairman of the Democratic con-
gressional campaign committee, said;
"The president has not changed my
mind bit. | have been for free tolls
all along and will continue the fight
against any repeal"
Representative Mondell OF Wyom-
ing, Republican, declared:
II have taken the same position on
canal tolls as the president now 80
belatedly takes. but fear that 1t Is
not so much the logic of economics
nor the meaning Of the language OF
the treaty that has convinced the
president as the fact that to recover
from the mistake in politics which
he has made as to Mexico he Is will
ing to conform to policy in Panama
approved by British craftsmanship
Representative Kahn OF California,
Republican. said:
"One thing appears to me evident:
That Is that we are called upon to
retrieve the mistake of the admins
tration in its dealings in Mexico where
British interests have been seriously
affected by sacrificing in Panama an
other interest Of vital consequence
to our people,"
Representative Macdonald Of Michi-
gan, Progressive, said:
Il have been for free tolls and
am still for free tolls"
In the senate Senator William
Alden Smith made an attack on Presi'
dent Wilson because of his attitude
on canal tolls in view OF the Demo
cratic platform declaration.
