Washington, May l0.-Philander c.
Knox, Secretary of State in President
Taft's administration, who rejected Great
Britain's protest against the right OF the
United States 20 exempt its coastwise
vessels from the payment OF tolls for
passage through the Panama Canal.
when asked 10 give his views on the ques-
ton Of repeating the free tolls provision
OF the present act and TO define the exact
issue involved in the controversy said;
''In the discussion OF the canal question
now, as in the past. too much considera-
ton has been given 10 treaties. CORE
spondence, documents. opinions, beliefs
and imaginings that are wholly foreign
10 the simple issue involved. This issue
arises out OF one tremendous fact and
one brief treaty affecting that fact. The
fact is our canal at Panama and the
treaty Is the one negotiated in 1901 by
John Hay and Lord Pauncefote. This is
the only treaty affecting the issue
The present controversy arises out OF
Great Britain's challenge Of our right TO
exempt American coastwise vessels from
tho payment OF tolls. The challenge Is
predicated upon the claim that BY tna
Hay-Pauncefote treaty we barGained
away that right incident 10 our owner
ship.
Richard Olney has put in two SEN
fences the nature OF Great Britain
claim upon the canal. The claim OF
Great Britain, said Mr.. Olney, is, in ef-
feet. a territorial claim. The United
States possesses no more costly and per-
haps no more valuable piece of territory
than the Panama Canal, and Great
Britain's claim is that the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty not only iucumbers that ter
ritory with equal rights Of use by all
other nations, but impresses upon 1t a
servitude by which the United States
loses the free use OF its own canal for its
own vessels

Senate Silent on Prohibition.

Senate majority leaders have not yet
formed plans for party conference. but
there is q sentiment for the enactment OF
LEGISLATION without a vote on prohibition.
The Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee will conclude its hearings on
the trade commission antitrust bill
early in the week. There Is feel
ing on the part Of some Demo-
cratic Senators that this legislation
should not be taken up at the pres
ent session on their side of the Capt.
tol and that action by the House Will
be sufficient until next winter. Many
Senators are said to mold the opinion that
debate on legislation of this importance
cannot be completed in less than six
weeks or two months. II the Senate does
not make more progress than in the last
few weeks on ordinary matters Of legis-
lation and on the tolls exemption de-
bate. adjournment hardly can be taken
early in July with trust bill TO be dis
cussed at length.
The Senate Banking and Currency
Committee expects 10 receive report
during the week from it's subcommittee,
which is drafting q rural credits bill The
bill has reached the stage where 1t seems
practically certain TO be confined 10 land
mortgages, and the full committee may
decide upon a report within the next ten
DAYS or two weeks.

Reasons for Repeal.

The President has assigned three rea-
sons why he wishes Congress to repeal
the free tolls provision:
"First-Because It violates our treaty.
"second-Because il is bad economic
policy.
"Third-Because it Will assist him in
handling our foreign relations.
IF the frat reason is good, no otheT Is
necessary. If the first reason is not good
the other two are as insufficient as they
would be II they were urged as reasons
for voluntarily dividing our sovereignty
over the Mississippi River.
First let us look at the facts. We
alone are expanding the untold millions
necessary 10 fortify and protect the
canal. so that some belligerent, eager to
secure the resulting advantage, may not
destroy il: we alone are bearing the risk
of losing all this investment as the re-
suit Of some natural cataclysm. such az
an earthquake. against which no human
agency can secure Us.
I'VE alone have stood for whatever OF
criticism has come from the manner OF
acquiring the Canal Zone; we alone have
nut the lives Of the flower of our army
engineers and Of thousands OF American
citizens through all the hazards ana
dangers Of fatal tropic maladies, ana
finally. no other country has shared ana
does not propose 10 share, one penny OF
this expenditure or any phase oil any
risl, connected with our stupendous I'M
dertakins-
Surely upon these facts there arises
m necessary implication that Great
Rritain ia entitled 70 the benefits OF TINS
colossal work on the same and Identical
terms as We. the owners the builders
the oDerators. the protectors and the IN
surers of the canal or that she shall
dictate how We shall treat matters OF
nurelv local national trade and com
merce.
Limitation Is Discussed.
IF the limitation which Sir Ed"aru
Grey says is imposed upon our freeoo''
of action In respect TO the canal does
not arise by necessary implication from
these facts. let us see If we can find IL
in the language Of the treaty In short
Lot MS seek the words of limitation.
"Thev are found. according TO the
British contention. in Article Ill TINS
srticle is a declaration by the owner Of
