MUST BE REPEALED.

In national honor and for other con.
siderations equally important the ex.
emption of the coastwise vessels OF
this country from canal tolls should
be stricken from the Panama act. A
canal through the Isthmus was pro-
jected over half a century ago. and IN
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. negotiated
between the United States and Great
Britain in 1850. the following stipula-
tons were made: The governments
OF the United States and Great Britain
hereby declare that neither the one
nor the other will ever obtain or main
tain for itself any exclusive control
over the said ship canal"
After the failure OF the French COM
pany which began the construction Of
the canal, the United States was an
xious TO complete the project. but Il
did not care 20 do It under the pro
visions OF the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
We wanted to build II and control Il.
After being sounded on the matter II
was found that the British govern
ment was willing 70 establish a new
treaty. and tho Hay-Pauncefote instru.
ment OF 1901 was the result. In this
treaty England agreed to the removal
OF the obstacle IN the way Of the con
sruotion OF the canal by the United
States, but insisted that all nations
should be treated equally in the navl-
CATION OF the canal. and that stipula.
ton was agreed 20 by our government
The clause in question reads as fol-
lows:
Ths canal shall be free and open 10
NE vessels OF commerce and OF war ~
All nations Observing thess rules on
terms 81 entire euualtty. - that there
shall be no discriru nation against any

The activities OF the Chamber.

eighteen months, has resulted in the
laying OF a solid foundation OF service

of great constructive value in securing
suggestions for new activities and
