Sherley's Position.

Does st answer 10 say il Is our canal
We built 1t, our money paid for 1t, there
fore we have the right VIII not such 4
claim be as plausibly urged to justify
similar action on the part Of others VII
such contentious add To the peace of the
world? Will our position enhance ou'
power as an advocate OF world peace
Americas destiny lies not along such
lines"
Summarizing his argument. Representa-
tive Shcrlev said:
a construction Of the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty permitting the United
States to prefer American shipping is
not warranted. because IL means re-
versal OF century old position Of
America I'm favor OF the freedom and
equality OF the seas, that our declared
policy for nearly n century shows
hoped for no narrow Or exclusive COM
mcrcial advantage and the terms of
Tho Paunccfote treaty show that
no preferential rights could be eNcr-
CSed.
While we were thus restricted To
equality OF trca tmcnt in It's use, our
rights over the canal IN n political
sense are such as TO warrant us in
taking any Steps necessary In time OF
war to protect It or The United state
This distinction between our sovereign
rights in y political sense and our obli-
cations az the operator OF canal that
is a crea, interua tional highway. is. IN
my Judgment the key 10 the whole
SituA ton.

Refer to Message.

In his message one reason assigned
by the president WAS in these word /,
That exemption constitutes a mis-
taken economic policy from every
point OF view"
II 1T is "a mistaken economic pol
fey now, was 1t not "a mistaken eco
nomic policy" during the campaign OF
1912 when we all, under the head OF
the president himself, indorsed il as
part OF the Democratic creed on which
We appealed for votes? II so. why
did the president indorse it them 1t
cannot be that proposition which
was good before the election can be so
awfully bad after the election.
But II IS not "a mistaken economic
policy. If so, is not our policy from
the very beginning of shutting all for
eign ships out OF our coastwise trade
also "a mistaken economic policy"
Do not our rules OF charging foreign
vessels for wharfage, dockage, pilot
age and so forth. while charging our
own vessels no fees or smaller fees,
also constitute "a mistaken economic
Dolicy?'

Republican Leader Heard.

=. Republican Leader Ma mn told the house
three questions were involved in a repea
of the Panama tolls exemption; treaty
rights. moral rights apart from treaty
construction and the economic policy In
VOWED. The economic question might be
changed at any time. he said, but a de-
clsion on treaty rights must be LASTING

PEELED the United States to charge the
same tolls on It's own ships or those O,
Panama as were levied on those OF other
nations. Mr.. Mann said:
A reading OF the rules to be OBJ
served by nations to receive equal
treatment plainly discloses that they
were not applicable TO the United
States or Panama.
England's attempt TO secure her
construction OF the treaty at this
time is not for its present effect 1t
Is for the long-distant future II we
construe t2e treaty according 10 the
English claims. IT is suro to rise and

with other countries. War Is not de-
s!rable, but II Is inevitable. We can
not always maintain peace

Says Policy Fades Away.

In short, If he Is correct. is not
anything we can do 10 give our own
people an economic advantage what
soever in the race for commercial
supremacy "a mistaken economic
policy?"
Most assuredly tho mistaken
economic policy Of the president Is
untenable and fades away before the
stubborn facts OF our history.
lss that is a disputed point, why
not amend this bill so as TO. continue
the present law with the exemption
section for two years or suspend It for
two years? BY amending the bill
either way we control the situation.
II the exemption from tolls should
turn out TO be "a mistaken economic
policy" we can repeal or modify IL;
but II we pass this repeal bill, control
over our own canal, built on our own
soil with our own money, Is gone
from us and our heirs
Forever and forever,
AS long as the river flows,
AS long s the heart has passions.
As long as life has woes "

Quotes From Opinion.

Nor is there merit hi the con-
tention that, as the vessel IN question
was Il British vessel coming from
foreign port. the state laws concern
ing pilotage are in conflict with q
treaty between Great Britain and the
United States providing that no
higher or other duties or charges
shall be imposed In any port Of the
United States on British vessels than
those payabl IN the same ports by
vessels OF the United States Neither
the exemption OF coastwisc steam
vessels from pilotoge resulting from
the law OF the United States nor any

Germs vessels in the foreign trade.
and therefore any such exemptions do
not operate TO produce discrmina
rion against British vessels engaged
in foreign trade and in favor OF YES
sells OF the United States in such
trade.

serts that because by the law OF the
United States steam vessels In tho

reasoning OF that decision applies
equally well TO tho present situation.
