SENATOR Stone URGES
CANAL TOLLS REPEAL
Missourian Has Changed His Attitude
Since Original Bill Was
Passed.
IS OPPOSED TO SHIP SUBSIDIES

Only one speech on the canal tolls repeal
bill was heard in the Senate yesterday.
Senator Stone, of Missouri, chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee. spoke
briefly in support Of the President. Sena-
tor Stone voted for free tolls FOR coast
wise shipping when the Panama Canal
act was passed. He has changed his at
titude. md will now support the Presi-
dents recommendation for repeal. but
in so doing he insists that the United
States had a perfect right under the Hay
Pauncefote treaty to exempt its ship
ping from tolls. Senator Stone paid a
high compliment to the President.
Senator Stone explained his vote in
favor of eNempting Coastwise shipping
from tolls as an expression OF the
opinion that the United States had a
right to give such exemption il it desired.
without violating treaty stipulations. Still
adhering to that view he proposed now
to vote for the repeal of the provision
as an economic matter, and as a domes-
tic business question.
II am unaIterably opposed to. sub
sidies." said Senator Stone. This is
a shipping subsidy. I am not embarrassed
by the Baltimore platform, and I do
not see anything in that platform to
embarrass any Senator who desired to
vote for the repeal of the free tolls act.
1 believe that the platform declaration
was put in simply 10 assert the belief
that the United States has the right to
exempt American coastwise vessels from
tolls. As the question is now presented
to us. it is a domestic question with
which foreign nations have nothing TO
do. We have taken II up for settlement
on our own initiative.
mo foreign nation is trying to in
fnanra the Of this 1apiGlafinn
far as ! know. We replied to the pro-
test of Great Britain when we passed
the act of 1912. and since then all for
eign nations have stood aloof. recogniz-
ing that the question is one of domestic
concern to the United States.
The Democratic party for years has
been opposed to subsidies for American
shipping. The Baltimore platform de-
clared against subsidies"
