Clark Opposes Repeal; Bill Pas
SeS House 247 TO l6l

w dSniiiS tOli, mdT. OIL. Op6dh-
er Clark, closing debate against
the repeal Of Panama canal tolls
exemption, disappointed those
who expected him to attack Pres
ident Wilson. He disclaimed any
personal issue with the President,
declared he believed Mr.. Wilson
was actuated by the highest pat
riotic motives and that there was
no breach in the Democratic par
ty.
He argued at length against
the Presidents contention and
declared that 'The amazing re-
quest of the President for the re-
peal like the peace of God passeth
all understanding"
He disclaimed any personal is
sue between the President and
himself and added that if the
President had reasons which
are not utterly untenable and
which compel him to make this
request" he had not stated them
to the house.
He differed with the Presidents
statement that toll exemption was
a mistaken economic policy"
but. admitting dispute on that
point, proposed that the exemp-
ton be suspended two years. He
contended that the President was
mistaken in his view that the ex-
emption was repugnant to the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
I'VE want war with no nation"
said the speaker, "but rather than
surrender our right to complete
sovereignty over every square
foot of our globe encircling do
main we will cheerfully and cour-
ageously face a world in arms.
He attacked the attitude of
house Democrats who have led
the Presidents fight for the toll
exemption repeal. Referring to
published declarations that his
opposition to the President was
the ogening gun of his fight for
the nomination in 1916" the
Speaker declared he had told all
to whom he had spoken about the
1916 situation, that if the Presi-
dents administration were a sue
cess Mr.. Wilson would be re-elect-
ed and if it were failure, 1.-THE
nomination would not worth hav-
ing".
After discussing the Monroe
doctrine Speaker Clark concluded
with this appeal: Now may the
God of our fathers who nerved
three million back-woods Ameri-
cans to fling their gauge of battle
into the face of the mightiest
monarch in the world, who guild
ed the hand of Jefferson in writ
ing the charter of liberty, who
sustained Washington and his
ragged and starving army amid
the awful horrors of Valley Forge
and who gave them complete
victory of the blood-stained
heights of Yorktown. may He
lead members to vote so as to
prevent this stupendous folly,
this unspeakable humiliation of
the American republic. "
Washington, Mar. 81. The
House Of Representatives tonight,
after one of the most spectacu-
lar struggles in the history of the
nation voted to repeal the pro-
vision of the Panaml canal act
exempting American vessels
from the payment of tolls. The
vote on the repeal bill was PAT to
161, amajority of Sc votes in sup
port of the personal plea of
Woodrow Wilson, President of
the United States.
