WHICH WAY DOES HONOR LIEF


Oregonian The correspondent who
has become converted to President
Wilson's views on canal tolls by the
statement that 1t was distinctly under
stood when the Hay Pauncefote treaty
was signed that the United States was
signing away the right to use the canal
for its own especial benefit, cannot have
read the Senate proceedings when rati-
fication of the treaty was in process.
Senator Bard moved to amend the
treaty so that tolls should be equal to
all nations other than the United States,
but was assured by other Senators that
the words ''all nations" in the toll
clause of the treaty were understood and
intended to have that meaning.
This Interpretation Is state by Sena-
tor OGorman to be based on Great
Britain's own definition of the term
vessels" as used in treaties. He says
In the New York American:
The word vessels as In the treaty
NOo6SA1 SAo0oSA
1t does not embrace vessels engaged in
local or domestic trade.
This was the Interpretation placed by
Great Britain for more than sixty years
upon precisely similar language employed
In the treaty Of 1915. The Supreme
Court Of the United States in Olsen VS..
priety of this Interpretation.
He also says that our right to ex-
empt coastwise vessels is substantially
recognized by the British government
In it's note of November IA 1912, which
states:
"n the trade should be SO regulated
fide coastwise traffic which Is reserved
for United States vessels would be bene-
fitted by the exemption of bona-fide
coastwise traffic, it Is apparent that We
are disturbed over claim which Great
Britain comedies to be groundless"
Coastwise traffic Is generally under
stood to be traffic between two or
more ports of the same nation by ves-
sells which do not trade at Intervening
foreign ports. Then trade between
Atlantic and Gulf ports on the one side
and Pacific ports ON the other side Is
bona -fide coastwise trade and can be
exempted from tolls under the British
Interpretation Of the treaty.
| The British note narrows the con-
troversy to q question whether the
traffic between our coasts through the
| canal comes within the British defini-
| ton of coastwise traffic. That Is es-
sentially q question for arbitration by
q tribunal drawn from disinterested
nation. To concede the point would
bring upon us National dishonor, for II
