Washington, Jan. 27.-~That the pres
ident is opposed to the exemption Of
American coastwise ships from Pana-
ma canal tolls was tlatly asserted at
the capitol by those who know what
took place at the White House con-
ference last night between Wilson and
the senate foreign relations commit
tee.
Senators who talked with the presi
dent asserted that Wilson explained
fully his position on the tolls question,
that his views incline toward the con-
tentions Of Great Britain and that the
president will make public his atti
tude in the near future.
Several senators expressed surprise
that in view Of the presidents positive
attitude he had not urged some action
at the extra session Of congress.
What the president may recommend
was not disclosed in the reports of the
White House conference, but 1t is Sug-
gested that one way would be to re-
peal the exemption provision of the
act. Another would be the passage Of

Washington, Jan. 27.-Negotiations
have been instituted with Canada by
the United States looking to the build
