lies to Concede Rights De-
manded in Colby Note.

While awaiting Great Britain's
reply to the American note made
public here today, in which this
country made it plain beyond quib-
BILE that the United States does not
propose to be shut out from parttci-
patton in the privileges secured an-
der mandates growing out Of The
world war, either In the matter OF
oil rights or any others, officials
expressed themselves as confident
that Secretary OF State Bainbridge

would win his point
EXPECT EARLY ANSWER.
An answer is expected here shortly.
as Secretary Colby forwarded the
American note to London the first of
this week. 1t bears date as Of No
vember 20 and is a formal reply to
Earl Curzon's note of August 9, which
in the main concerned England's
claims on the oil resources in Mesopo-
tamia. over which country England
has a mandate.
In his reply Secretary Colby pointed
out that the very nature OF mandates
as conceived by the peace delegates
was that inundated territories were
to be held temporarily and in trust for
the world, and that pending final set
tlement. the country acting as guar
dian could not bar other nations.
however small, from sharing the
privileges.
OIL PROBLEM IS ISSUE.
Though the note dealt with the
question Of rights in general Of ma
tions holding mandates, the oil prob
lem was the specific issue because OF
the Mesopotamian deposits. which
England and France virtually divided
between themselves at San Reno. to
the exclusion of other nations.
GIvE-AND-TAKE POLICY.
The policy of give and take, it was
explained here today. Is the guiding
principle underlying the exchange OF
notes with Great Britain. 1t was pre-
dicted that unless ether nations are
willing to recognize this policy and
accord to Americans the same rights
and privileges which the United
States grants to their nationals, Il
different policy. namely, policy
which would shut out foreigners from
American spheres of influence just -
certain other countries would shut
out Americans from theirs, would be
forced upon this country as a matter
of self-protection.
The American Government consid-
ers the problem of oil has become the
problem OF governments, so general
and necessary has become its use,
and in consequence precautionary
measures must be taken to safeguard
the available supply and prevent any
one nation, or group CT nations, from.
securing a monopoly.
OPPOSES MONOPOLY.

to look with disfavor upon any mo-
nopoly. whether in this country or
abroad. This country, II was OBJ

But The Times is not taking any
thing for granted in this campaign.
Every Good Fellow who served last
year must re-enlist this year so that
the rolls may read "all present or
accounted for" 1t is assumed, how
ever, that those who made their
Christmas last year happier than
any previous Yuletide in their lives
by serving as Good Fellows, will be
eager to get into line this year, and
that those who neglected this golden
opportunity twelve months ago will
not be so unfair to themselves this
year.
As usual the little children Of the
rich are to be well taken care of this
Christmas, and it is to be left to the
Good Fellows to see that the little
children of the poor are able to re-
tain their faith in Santa Claus. On
Christmas morning the homes Of
children whose parents are able to
buy them what they want will ring
out with merry laughter and shouts
of joy.
But what tragedy it will be on
the anniversary Of the most joyous
event in all Christendom, if any
poor child awakes on Christmas
morning, finds that Santa Claus
has forgotten him, and that Christ
mas is no different from any Of the
other 364 days in the year?
1t is for the Good Fellows to see
that no such tragedy happens. Every
child, be his parents rich or poor,
has the inalienable and indefeasible
right to expect that an omnipresent

BRITISH BLOCK
TOLL ON CANAL
Borah Claims English Busy to
Defeat U. S. Bill for
Panama Charges.

Vigorous efforts are being made
by representatives OF Great Britain
to prevent passage Of a bill intro
duced by Senator Borah exempting
American ships from payment OF
tolls for passage through the Pan
anna Canal.
CAMPAIGN wIDEsPREAD.
SO widespread IL this campaign
which has lately taken the form OF
speeches by the british ambassador,
that the question has now resolved
itself into one Of whether the United
States or Great Britain shall control
the canal
The following article. written by
Senator Borah especially for the
Universal Service, makes this situa-
tion clear:
by WILLIAM +. BoRAH,
United states Senator from Idaho.
shall vote for any and all
amendments to the Panama Canal
toll bill that confirm the exclusive
ownership of the canal by the
United States and exempt American
ships from the payment OF tolls
during passage through the canal.
Are we afraid to claim and gov
chology is this that proclaims loudly
in party platforms for free tolls
for American ships and then in a
few brief months disclaims all in
terest?
All parties, Democratic. Repub-
lican and Bull Moosers have had
"frer .tolls" written in their party
piatfot,ns. Their respective candi-
dates have taken the stump on
these issues. What followed?
CITES OBSOLETE TREATY.
We repealed the law exempting
American ships from the payment
of tolls because 1t was objection
able TO Great Britain.
AS a matter of fact, the Clayton
Bulwer treaty under which the
British government claims equal
rights for its ships passing through
the Panama Canal would have end
ed without a formal notice. The
treaty was antiquated. obsolete and
on three different occasions Great
Britain has violated it.
Notice OF abrogation was alone
required from the United States.

remember him. The Good Fellows
merely guarantee that right.
There will be more opportunities
this year than there were twelve
months ago for Good Fellows to in
sure themselves a merry Christmas
by making someone else merry. Tho
high cost of living keeps high and
unemployment is a problem through.
out the country. Last year the Good
Fellows found 800 families unable
to provide Christmas cheer for their
children. The number will be larger
this year, hence the necessity for
mobilizing more Good Fellows.
The Associated Charities and 9TH
er benevolent organizations will SEQ
to it that the necessities of life arc
provided for the poor, but these
charities cannot guarantee that
Santa Claus will come down the
chimney and fill stockings or leave
toys, fruits, confectionery, knick-
knacks, and trinkets which please
the childish eye and cause Christ
mas rejoicing.
And what shall the Good Fellows
obligate themselves to give? The
answer is, anything they want tc
give. Somewhere in the Bible, it is
said "The Lord stood watching how
they gave, not what" and again "In-
asmuch as yet have done it unton
one of the least of these, my
brethren, We have done it unto Me-"

PANAMA, Nov. 26.-The lens OF
Colon have addressed an open letter
to President-elect Harding protesting
against the American administration n
of the Canal Zone and the alleged ex-
propriations OF Panama territory and
civic rights.
Little by little the American Canal

Senator Harding took no official
cognizance of the letter. but made his
position clear in speech when he

gone in Shipping Board waste, ex-
fravagance and graft. They already
knew what billions of dollars it had
cost them, under the present business
management of their Government, to
build cardboard training camps and

in behalf of its stockholders, has to
figure its results and keep its books,
the Panama Canal as a business pro-
position would look like financial
wreck.
AS a matter of fact the difference
between the operating expenses and
the receipts Of the Panama Canal
the aforesaid $2,3S7,599-called by
a wild flight of Imagination profits,
is only drop in the bucket toward
paying the fixed charges on the col
ossal bonded debt investment OF the
American people in the Panama Ca
nal.
Including cost of construction, pur-
chase of rights, annual payments to
Panama, Notifications, etc., the Am
erican people had put into the canal,
up to June 80, 1919 more than S459,-
100000. With nothing ever earned
toward meeting the interest on that
debt not to mention payments into
the sinking fund to extinguish the
debt, the canal stands the American
people in today more than half a bill
lion of dollars.
Because of valuable privileges GO
ing with the Panama bonds, put out
to build and equip the canal, they
were issued, some of them at as low
an interest rate as per cent year
and some a. per cent. Even or this
highly artificial basis of figuring in
terest the so-called profit on the Pam
ANA Canal last year was not half
enough to meet the abnormally low
interest charge on the Panama Canal
bonds and other investment. II was

penses, wou'i not hays been enough
to pay the interest Oh the Panama
Canal debt and other investment of
the American people in the gigantic
project.
II we figure that any investment
should be worth at least the interest
which the Government has to pay on
Liberty Bonds, and If we figure de-
probation at merely nominal rate,
and If we virtually ignore sinking
fund charges, the Panama Canal, as a
business proposition, ought to earn
at the very low rate Of per cent to
cover everything, not less than $780,

miracle clean up the debts in the
course of generations and keep the
