Among other things which the toady-
ing American ambassador is reported
to have said are these words, ut added
greatly to the pleasure of the people
of the United States in the building
of the Panama canal to know that the
British would profit most by its use"
What mockery! On one hand we
have President Wilson pleading for
the repeal Of Panama canal tolls and
Page assuring that we spent our mil.
lions to please England. Ia the presi-
dent surprised or is he pleased? Page
is but following the sentiment of the

ideas and sentiments with respect to
the Monroe Doctrine.

asked for repeal of the Panama canal
tolls on the ground that this country
would be better able to carry out its
foreign policy. The country has no

the tolls.

After five-day fierce fight, the fifty

passed yesterday by vote of 252 to
126, precisely two-thirds. The news.
papers from one end of the land to
the other reported the vote as only

To Whom It May Concern:
This is to certify that Mr.. Patrick

of the House of Representatives, had
nothing to do with adding the vote on
the immigration bill, which passed the
House of Representatives on the 18th

lutely misleading and untrue. The
duty Of recording and adding the
votes upon roll calls devolves at all
times upon the undersigned employees,
and in this instance it should be said
that neither of such employees is of
the Catholic faith.
This statement is made in justice to
Mr.. Haltigan, because of certain pub.
