CANAL TOLL EXEMPTION
OPPOSED IN CANADA
SOlicitOr-General Predicts 1t
Would Mean Discrimination
Against Dominion.

OTTAWA. March In the presence Of
Chief Justice Sir Charles Fitzpatrick. Pre-
mier Borden and members Of the Cabinet
Arthur Meighen. Solicitor General OF Can
ada, the youngest and most brilliant MEM
Der of the Cabinet. spoke to-day at the
Canadian Club luncheon on the Panama
Canal tolls question. in which Canada IL
deeply Interested. The speech was care
fully prepared and IL regarded as Can
adas official view OF the subject He
said
''Our American cousins say After all
We are fghting about little or nothing, in
asmuch as only the coastwse shipping has
been actually exempted, and under their
laws we canno, compete IN that trade
anyway So they conclude nobody IL
hurt Well. coastwise shipping means one
thing in one country and another thing
in another country just as each chooses
to define tine term in It's own legislation.
In the United States II includes vessels
plying between New York and Seattle. al
though they 60 around by Cape Horn
also between New York and the Philip
pines and between san Francisco and Ha-

thing they can give free passage to ships
loading at Tacoma and dischargng at
Portland and at the same time can tax
Canadian vessels passing from Victoria to
ST. Johns They could so exercise that right
AS to force Canadian trafflC into Aner-
can railroads from our eastern provinces
TO their Atlantic ports, thence In Amer-
can bottoms to their Pacific port and on
American railroads again to destination In

''Our traffic between British Columbia
and the Maritime Provinces in 1871 was
llS.4l7 tons and that went all the way
around the strait OF Magellan. Carloads
across tho continent cost $50 per ton and
up. and should by way of the PanaVa
Canal cost 81 TO 50 per ton. That alone
would represent a saving OF S2.5OO, 900 per
year. What then might not such "A traffic
become? Would there not be a fatal dis
elimination between, for instance a
Canadian line running from Vancouver
TO New Orleans and an American line
from Tacoma TO the same port? New
England merchants would have another
big advantage over British merchants In
competing for the trade of the Pacific
States.

How deep does that go? How far
does advertising control of newspa-
pers go in Chicago? And what chance
have the people of getting the truth,
if the big advertisers don't want them
to have the truth?
What irresponsible for the general
newspaper policy Of trying to control
the city government in the interest of
the loop? Is it solicitation for the good
Of Chicago, or is it because the big
advertisers do business in the loop?
Is newspaper policy in Chicago on
subways due to the public interest,
or to a selfish desire on the part of
loop advertisers to build subways that
viii make all Chicago come into the
loop to buy?
Are the newspapers as solicttous
about clean streets outside the loop
as inside?
How much newspaper policy on
boulevard links, boulevard control,
the parking of autos, ETC., is due to
the fact that dealers in automobiles
are big advertisers, and hence have
big influence with newspapers?
Do auto advertisers boycott news
papers that don't use their news and
editorial columns to play the business
game of those advertisers?
Is it true that there is a combina-
ton of nine or ten big loop adver-
tisers who have the power to make
or break any newspaper in Chicago
that depends upon advertising for its
existence?
Is true that we have no free press
in Chicago-aside from The Day
