LANDS ACTION OF
y. S. ON REPEAL OF
PANAMA TOLLS
Sir Edward Grey Pays High
Compliments to President
Wilson and Action

London, June 30.-The repeal of the
act extending American coastwise
shipping from payment of tolls for
passage through the Panama canal was
the subject of highly interesting
portion of speech by Sir Edward
Grey the British foreign secretary,
in the House of Commons Monday.
Sir Edward was replying, after a gen.
eral debate on the appropriations for
the foreign office, and he paid high
compliments to President Wilson and
the motives underlying his action.
The foreign secretary remarked that
while a settlement had been reached
it had not been entirely free from mis-
representation which might have in it
the seed Of future mischief. He added:
1T is due to the President of the
United States and to ourselves that
should SO far as possible clear away
that misrepresentation. 1t was stated
in some quarters that the settlement
was the result of bargaining or diplo-
matte pressure. Since President VIII
son came into Office no correspondence
has passed and it ought to be realized
IN the United States that any line
President Wilson has taken was not
because it was our line, but his own,
President Wilson's attitude was not
the result of any diplomatic communi-
cation since he has come into power
and it must have been the result of
papers already published to all the
world.
1T has not been done to please us
or in the interests of good relations,
but, believe. from much greater
motive-the feeling that government
which is to use it's influence among the
nations to make relations better must
never, when the occasion arises finch
OF quail from interpreting treaty
rights in a strictly fair spirit"

Mexico City, June 30.-Roberto Es-
teva-Ruiz, acting foreign minister, has
given out a memorandum bearing on
the statement of the Mexican delegates
to the Niagara Falls mediation con-
ference. addressed to the American
delegates ad first made public from
Niagara Falls, June II. In it he brings
out certain passages which were not
contained in the statement as issued
at Niagara Falls.
The object OF the memorandum, it
was said. was to combat the proposals
presented by the American delegates
which were said to be tantamount to
reducing electoral liberty in Mexico
to a sham, as the elections would be
held under pressure in favor of Carran-
"a. This, it was argued, would be bad
for Mexico and for the United States
as well as for CarranZa.
1t would cause bad feeling between
the two peoples and .Carranza would
always be regarded as the nominee and
subordinate of the American govern
ment.
For this reason it is stated, the Mex
lean delegates rejected the proposals
their own government, for they could
not countenance any arrangement en-
abling the Washington government to
put in a President in Mexico.
President Wilson, they assert. has
constantly alleged the welfare of the
Mexican people to be the reason for
his attitude and the delegates say they
thought the Mexican people should be
consulted as to what they regarded as
their welfare and not have it forced
on them.
The Mexican delegates denied that
the advance of the revolution proved
national sentiment in Mexico favored
Carranza as states containing two
thirds of the country's inhabitants
were controlled by the revolution. But
even supposing that national sentl-
ment favored Carranza, his election
they pointed out, was uncertain under
a neutral government and there was
no necessity for putting him In
through provisional government I'M
der his influence. If Carranza were
elected at a free election, they point
ed out he might be a successful and
respectable President. capable of pac-

flying the country, but IL put in by
Washington, they argued, he would
be hampered by discredit and accused
by popular clamor OF treason and per-
petual specialization to the orders of
the White House.
If the Washington government insisted
upon its proposals. the delegates con-
tended, the negotiations would fail and
civil strife in Mexico would continue
and even if the revolutionary armies
we're victorious it would be only at the
cost of much suffering and bloodshed.
They said it was unbecoming TO the gov
eminent of a great civilized people such
as the United States to accept response
bility for these horrors when the same
result could be attained by an honorable
and peaceful exercise of the ballot.
These reasons. they declared, also pre-
vented the Mexican delegates accepting
an electoral committee with a Constitu-
tonalist majority set up expressly for
the purpose of securing the triumph OF
a given party. Nor could the Mexican
delegates accept the proposal for the in
definite presence of American set and
land forces, as elections in Mexico could
not and ought not to be held under SEEM
ing pressure
Senior Esteva-Ruiz related that after
the memorandum had been presented an
agreement had been reached by the Mexi-
can and American delegates, but this
agreement could not be given out because
the Mexican government had made some
observations on It,
