shipping President Wilson went before
Congress and induced 1t to repeal the act.
Many Republican members OF both houses
agreed with him that the British conten-
ton was sound and voted for the repeal.
II is known that many OF these Represen-
tatives still hold to that view.
The idea Of regarding treaty as Il mere
scrap of paper is repugnant to the Ameri-
can people Still. in the matter of reliev-
ing their own shipping OF tolls they feel
that is policy they should he free to
decide as they see 1T. and having twice
authorized such exemption by expression
ut the polls it is due them that the issue
al 10 their rights under the treaty be def
nitely determined
Possibly the Harding administration may
he able To dispose of the issue by negotiat-
ing an amicablc understanding with Great
Britain in which the conflicting viewpoints
would be reconcicd. The sentiment of the
peoples of both countries is for the estab-
lishmcnt Of closer relations OF friendship
following their partnership in winning the
great world war, and in Difference to that
sentiment it is conceivable that the whole
controversy may easily he disposed of by
the usual methods of diplomacy.
