PRESIDENT SIDES
WITH GREAT BRITAIN
Opposes Exemption Of Certain
Ships From Canal Tolls.

Washington, Jan. 28.-That Presi-

Panama canal tolls was fatty assert.
ed at the Capitol by those who know
what took place at the conference be.
tween the president and the senate
foreign relations COMMITTEES.
Senators who talked with the presi.
dent said that Mr.. Wilson fully ex.
planned his position on the tolls ques.
ton; that his views incline toward
the contentious of Great Britain and
that he would make public his atti.
tude in the near future.
What the president may recommend
was not disclosed in reports of the
White House conference, but one way
would be to repeal the exemption pro.
vision of the act.
Another would be the passage of
the Adamson resolution to suspend
for two years the operation of the ex-
emption clause.
1t was said that the president was
not opposed to toll exemptions as
such, but that he was strongly of the
opinion that they would be dis.

with the provisions of the Hay
