Page Scored for
Canal Speech in London.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-"Some
means ought to be found by the
powers that be to seal the lips of the
Ambassador to Great Britain" said
Senator Chamberlain to-day "or else,
in justice to the American people, he
ought to be recalled, and that ought
TO be done as promptly as possible"
Senator Chamherlain's statement
referred to the speech of Ambassador
Page before the Associated Chambers
of Commerce in London in which he
is reported to have said that the
Monroe Doctrine meant that the
United States would prefer" that
foreign countries not acquire lands in
the Western Hemisphere and that
the United States was pleased to build
the Panama Canal because Great
Britain would profit more by it than
anyone else.
This is the second time in less
than a year." said Senator Chamber
lain, that Ambassador Page has been
guilty of the improperly Of placing
the American people in false light
before the British public. 1t reflects
the American view only in one partic-
ular, and that is that we rejoice in the
prosperity of any country on the
globe But it does not reflect the idea
OF the American people, in so far as
he undertakes to discuss the con-
struction of the Panama Canal for
the greater benefit OF Great Britain
than that which would be derived by
the United States in its construction,
control and operation.

Britain Has No Case Stand On in the Tolls Dispute,
Says Canal Commission Law Expert Frank Feuille

the onus is on Great Britain to es-
tablish her contention Great Brit
ain in fact. is claiming a servitude
upon our property Cthe canaD and
a limitation of our sovereignty. Her
claim, if valid, means that we must
tax imports and exports and our
coastwise trade passing through the
canal equally with the trade of 9TH
er countries using that waterway
That means a serious restriction
upon the sovereign right of the
United States to regulate its fiscal
and economic policies as they may
deem best This is restriction of
our sovereignty, as we'll as servi-
tude upon our property.
In summing up our objections to
the British claim we might say that
the commercial advantages which
the United States has at the 18TH
mus came from the treaty with Co
lombia in 1916 and not from the
Clayton Bulwer convention or the
Hay -Pauncefote treaty, and that
neither of these affected the rights
so held by US; that the terms of
the HaytPauncefote treaty, when
properly construed, do not sustain
Great Britain's present contention.
That in abandoning the explicit
language of the Clayton Bulwer
convention, which clearly prohibit
ed a discrimination in favor of the
United States. England lost her
right to claim at this time equality
with the United States in the use
of the canal for her vessels.
The Lord Lansdowne communi
cation of October 81, 1901. to Lord
Pauncefote tends to prove that
England's only desire was to OBJ
tain equality of treatment with 9TH
er powers for her vessels at the
canal.
That the canal treaty with the
Republic of Panama. by which its
vessels are entitled to free use of
the canal, made without protest
from Great Britain is a strong cir
cumstance in support of the prop
osition that Rule l is nothing more
than the most favored nation clause
expressed in another form; and,
lastly, Great Britain has not pro-
duced any sufficient proof to over
come the presumption arising
against her from the circumstances
lust related much less has she Dro-
duced any proof or argument to
establish her claim beyond doubt or
question.
