eminent is the opposition to Presi-
dent Wilson's plea for repeal OF the
toll exemption provision for American
ships In the Panama canal act
With the time almost az hand when
The question 10 to bc decided. the un-
yielding opposition of the Democrats
who believe Il viii he an economic
mistake to reverse the policy OF the
government on the tolls question be-
comes more active aud in senate and
house the discussion is certain to be-
the most vigorous that has been pre-
cipitatcd by any issue the Democratic
congress has had before u.
While the President and Democratic
members in both houses who will
support his position are confident that
the repeal will pass by a comfortable
majority. few have any idea that the
majority will be large.
Skatinu On Thin Ice.
PRESIDENT Wilson today conferred
with senator Jones OF Washington,
informing the senator that there was
absolutely no basis for conclusions he
had referred to In a senate speech
Wednesday 10 the effect that the tolls
repeal was the price to be paid as a
result OF negotiations with Great Bri.
tain. for nnninterference bv foreign
powers in Mexico. and for England
defense OF the Monroe doctrine. The
president told the senator that he
was skating on, thin ice" i'm circula-
ting such conclusions after reading
them I'm some publication. Discussing
the matter with other callers the pres
ident said his address to congress on
repeal OF the tolls clause was written
before the visit 10 Washington OF the
British minister TO Mexico. Sir Lionel
Garden. TO whom Senator Jones had
referred in his speech. and that the
canal controversy was not mentioned
during the minister's conference at
the white house
