NONSENSE FROM
Mr.. UNDERWOOD

In the course of his speech on
the Panama canal tolls question.
Mr.. Underwood said:
"Yet the most serious surrender
that the advocates OF the British
contention desire TO make is the
admission that we are rot sovereign
in the canal zone"
We are only partly sovereign in
the canal zone. We do not own
the zone We lease it from Psnama
and pay a yearly rental CT $3.50
900. We have pledged ourselves
to certain regulations which Mr..
Underwood himself recognizes. Ii
We were sovereign, We couldignore
all these regulations and do exactly
as we pleased.
Mr.. Underwood agrees that the
"chsrge of traffic shall be just and
reasonable" as me Hay-Pauncefore
treaty provides. If Re we're soyer-
eign we could make them unjust
and unreasonable as suited OH pur-
poses.
Mr.. Underwood agrees that tx
cept far coast rise shipping "the
canal shall be free and open to the
vessels of commerce and war Of all
nations Of equal terms" as the
treaty specifies. II We we're sover-
eign We could exclude the vessels
CT zIl other nations. We could
make ;hs canal AZ American high
way opzn Only 70 American ships.
We could eiTe americans an abso-
Lutte monopoly {: its use. We could
:lre It 20 everybody except our
s=jyes.
The Hay-Paurcsfota treaty is q
restriction on sovereignty which
We voluntarilg signed and volun-
tsrily accepted. Nobody knows tet-
ter than Mr.. Underwood, who is
prepared 10 respect every other
provision, which he wiShsE to quib-
BILE away in order 10 tax all the
American people for the benefit OF
q few ~shipnwners who haze already
q monopoly Of he cuastwiss trade
and want specia! privileges that are
denied II deep s'a ships fving the
