WILSON CONFIDENT
SENATE WILL FAVOR
TOLLS REPEAL BILL
Says No Amendment Setting Forth
Rights Of U. S. Under Treaty
Is Necessary
By Associated Press

Washington, d. c., April 13.-Presi-
dent Wilson declared to-day that the
repeal of the Panama tolls exemption
could no the regarded as an interpre-
tation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
because 1t would be a legislative act. He
held that no amendment setting forth
the rights of the United States under
the treaty was necessary, in his
opinion.
The President took the same view
as Secretary Bryan, that by repeating
the exemption, the United States
merely showed disinclination to raise
the question of discrimination. but did
not by its act limit any future policy
of the government Mr.. Wilson drew
a distinction between legislative act
and an authoritative Interpretation of
a treaty, the latter of which would
have to be formulated by the executive
branch of the government and rati-
fled by two-thirds' vote of the
Senate.
Mr.. Wilson said the Norris amend
ment setting forth that the United
State by repeating the exemption would
not be surrendering any of its rights
had not been seriously suggested to
him. and that he had not given 1t seri-
GUS consideration because it appeared
obvious to him that any act of Con-
an Interpretation of the treaty. The
President remarked that, among the
Senators who would be in the majority
on the tolls question, there did not
seem to be any sentiment for amend
p,ent. The President incidentally de-
clined to discuss the reported exemp-
ton Of Colombian war vessels from
the payment of tolls, saying that when
the new treaty was made public that
phase of it would be clarified.
Situation Improves
Mr.. Wilson said the tolls situation in
the Senate was constantly improving
and apparently that people who had
been asked to appear in the hearings
were getting cold feet
Secretary Bryan in a statement
made public to-day lengthily reviews
the 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 con-
strued to be construction of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty." but is simply
refusal on the part of the United
States to raise that question in that
way"

Rev. Jones on "The War;.

Rev. H. P. Jones preached most
instructive sermon last Sunday on
THE War" He presented the facts
and deplored the horrible conditions
of Continental Europe. His eonclu-
sions, from the industrial, economical
and humanitarian viewpoints, were
drawn from his broad knowledge
edge of history, and his profound
thought. He spoke of the part taken
by black men in this great struggle
which would reflect to their credit
and honor. Rev. Jones advocated
peace for all nations by disarmament,
but in mastery language contended
for justice for all, especially the Ne
gro. Miss Haley spoke at the close of
this service and highly commended
the sermon. The members Of St.
James A. M. E. Church are fortunate
to have one of the best pulpit orators
as their pastor and they are loud in
words of praise for him.
