Observation-Disclosures Wilson. be-
fore congress on March 5. pleaded
for repeal of the provision of the Pan,
an. %. canal act which exempts Ameri-
can coastwise shipping from tolls. He
tersely asserted that his reason for
asking the repeal was that everywhere
except in the United States the tolls
exemption was regarded as violation
OF the Hay-Pauncefo-te treaty, and he
further asked it in support of the ad-
ministration's general foreign policy.
That the presidents request will be
granted there seemed to be little
doubt, despite the fact there viii be
vigorous opposition to the repeal both
in the senate and the house. The
fist action in the question will be
taken in the house, when the inter

will meet to consider the message. 1t
Was stated that the committee will
present bill to repeal the exemption
provision.
In the senate on Thursday. Senator

president authority to make or sus-
pend tolls by proclamation and to pre-
scribe their tolls in cases exempted.
