Canal Tolls Repeal
By Associated Press

Washington, ID. c., May THAT all
nations will know that the repeal of
the Panama toll exemption law will be,
done to purchase immunity for O con-
tinuation of watchful waiting in Mex
ico' was charged in the Senate by SEN
ator Bradley, of Kentucky, opposing
the repeal bill.
IF the United States is lacking in
influence or standing to-day" said he.
lit Is not on account of the tolls ques-
ton, but because of its weak. vacil-
lating and uncertain policy of watch
full waiting with Mexico. If we aban-
don our sovereignty over the canal to
Great Britain, all other nations will
know that we are doing it with the
purpose of purchasing immunity for
a continuation of our 'watchful wait
ing policy, under which we accom-
plished nothing and under which there
can be no peace.
II agree that the President has been
actuated by an honest endeavor to
procure peace and constitutional
government in Mexico. The trouble.
alted to be realized. The great ma
jority of her people are not fitted for
constitutional government. There is
too much ignorance. too much of in
satiable ambition, too much repine, too
much of butchery. You might as well
try to establish a Sunday school in
hell as real constitutional government
in Mexico by Mexicans."
Senator Bradley declared that the
Presidents message asking for the re-
peal was nothing short of an insult to
the members of Congress who voted
for the present law"
