First Note of Protest.

1T might be pointed out said Mr.
knoWland, that that first British note
Of protest was dated July s. 1912. This
proves conclusiveiy that the British pro
test was inspired because Of the railroad
provision. At the inception of the con-
troversy coastwise exemption was scarce
~ mentioned in London or Canadian pa
pers or In parliament.
In the face of this record it is at least
amusing to read that Canadian officials
declare that the railroads of the Do
minion have no intention of operating
ships through the canal in violation OF
The anti-rairoad clause. although the
British protest states that II the rail
road provisions of the act are Intended
to apply under any circumstances to
British ships the British government
must reserve the right to raise such con-
tentions as may seem justified
