Defense for Repeal.
President Has New

WASHINGTON, March S0.-Presi-
dent Wilson is certain that the tolls
repeal debate will not split the Demo-
cratic party and that his fight for the
repeal viii not be defeated.
He stated to-day that his chief re-
greet In connection with the debate
was that what promised to be a dig
nif1ed contest had desenerated into an
attempt to discredit the Adminlstra-
ton. He characterized Representa-
tive Knowland's speech, in which it
was charged that the President had
made a deal with the British Govern
ment, as the browning insult of a
number Of insults in the debate. All
Of the acrimony shown against the
Administration only makes more Ger
tain the result, the President declared
to his callers.
The Chief Executive to-day also
!, took new ground in advocating a pol
icy which his advocates say is in
violation of the Baltimore platform.

timore platform contained two planks,
one Of them reiterating the long
standing principle Of the Democratic
party against ship subsidies or sub
sides Of any sort, and the other af-
frmIng the tolls exemption policy.
The President declared there was no
question in his mind that free tolls is
a subsidy Of the clearest type and
that. therefore. II violates not only a
plank in the Baltimore platform,
which takes precedence over the
other, but established Demo-
cratic policy
one Of the proofs Of where the
Democratic party really stood on the
question Of tolls lies in the fact that
majority Of the Democrats in the
House voted against the tolls eN-
emption bill when IL was passed orig

the advantage of that friendship lies

Representative Doremus declared
that as soon as the Panama law was
passed sentiment against the exemp-
tlon Of American ships from tolls wa
manufactured through the country.
The Carnegie Peace Endowment
was also attacked by the Michigan
Congressman
"A representative of this institu-
ton has testified before the Senate
Lobby Investigate n Committee that
it was the business of the associa
ton to help straighten things out
said Doremus
sandbageed Secretary.
But that was the business OF the
Secretary Of State. While he was
trying to straighten things out in a
way that would comport with the dig
nifty and honor of the United, this
self constituted guardian of the ma
tional honor was sandbagging its ef-
forts by vigorously upholding the
British view"
Representative Mondell, Republican
of Wyoming, said while he believed
that the free tolls policy is economi-
cally unWise, he could not vote for
the repeal under the conditions ere
ated by the Presidents demand.
Il decline to give adherence to a
policy OF apology and surrender" he
said. "on demand to every Govern
ment, great or small with which we
have a controversy"
Representative Montague OF Nir
ginia. an Administration suunorteT
referring to the baltimore platform
declared in favor of tolls He said:
Platform Conflicting.
The platform is conflicting. In one
plank we declare against subsidies
and in another plank we declare in
favor of this free tolls subsidy. II
then devolves upon Us to take one or
the other plank As for myself, | pre-.
fer to accept the time honored Demo-
cratic doctrine against subsidies of all
kinds In addition 1t is indisputable
that the free tolls clause is in viola .
