Greene county supervisors do not
propose to take any more RESPONSE

wooden bridges during threshing
season than necessary. Chairman
Cole Of the board has issued state
ment warning threshermen to use at
least three inch planks under the

to take this precaution he, declares
will be considered sufficient defence
for the county in denying all claims
for liability for damage in case en-

BRYAN ON REPEAL
The Secretary of State Makes .
Public Statement
Defending the Presidents P0-
sition ON Canal Tolls.

Washington, April 13.-Secretary
Bryan in a statement made public,
lengthily reviews tho Panama tolls
question, and in the course of the
statement declares that the repeal of
the tolls exemption in the Panama
Canal Act cannot be construed to
be a construction OF the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty" but is simply refusal
on the part Of the United States to
raise that question In that way
Mr.. Bryan discusses various features
of the subject-the limiting of debate
in the House Of Representatives. the
Baltimore platform. and the effect OF
repeal on the treaty.
Claiming that the opponents Of the
repeal had seized upon the charge
that the president was ''surrenderine
to England" Mr.. Bryan declared that
the opposition to the repeal had at
tempted to appeal Ito prejudice rather
than to reason
What has Great Britain DONE" he
asked. ito justify the accusation that
she Is trying to dictate to this country.
She has simply called attention to the
terms Of the treaty, and asked for
arbitration OF the question OF con-
struction. in case this government diff
fers from the British government in
the construction to be placed upon the
language. The very men who are SO
insistent upon constructing the treaty
to permit free tells. delayed for
months the ratification of the treaty
with Great Britain because of their
opposition to any arbitration of the
subject. In other words they constru-
ed the treaty to permit discrimination,
and then objected to allowing any in
ternational court to express an opin-
lon on the subject. If, as a matter of
fact, the treaty grants the rights
which Great Britain claims. is it a
surrender to Great Britain for our
nation to repeal a law that raised
that question?
THE repeal of the law cannot be
construed to be a construction of the
treaty. 1t Is simply q refusal on the
part of the United States to raise that
question in that way. In the contro-
versy over the Welland canal, Canada
withdrew discrimination which she
had made in favor of Canadian ships.
in order that no cause for friction
with the United States authorities in
regard to the matter should exist
why cannot the United States
withdraw a discrimination for the
same reason? When the treaty in
viewed was before the senate for rati-
fication an attempt was made to SO
amend 1t as to permit q discrimination
in, favor of coastwise vessels but 1t
was voted down by a decided majority.
With this record to support them, is
Il strange that foreign nations question
our rights to make an exception in IA
vor of American vessels?"
Discussing the presidents right to
expect the support of congress when
he deals with international questions,
Secretary Bryan adds:
THE chief executive speaks for the
nation in international affairs. and it
IL only fair to assume that he speaks
advisedly when he declares that inter-
course with other nations Is seriously
embarrassed by the free-tolls law
which me seeks to repeal" ,--- 4
