BILL Is BEFORE THE SENATE
FOR EXEMPTIONS OF QUA
: SHIPS FROM PAYMENT.
OPPOSED BY GREAT BRITAIN
President Harding 10 Personally on
Record as Favorins Exemption and
Is Unable to Stop the Senate.

Washington.-The most embarrass-
ing situation that has faced the Hard
ing administration since it came into
office came to a climax. The senate
had agreed to vote upon the bill to
exempt American coastwise vessels
from paying Panama canal tolls. Great
Britain had protested before against
such legislation on the ground that
it would violate the rights she claims
under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The
Brisish are expected to protest again.
Irrespective OF whether the legisla-
ton does or does not violate treaty
the feeling in executive quarters is
that passage of such an act on the
eve of the armament conference might
have q most unfortunate effect on
Anglo-American relations. President
Harding himself is unable to stop
the senate for he went on record pub
licly in favor of Panama canal tolls
exemption not only in his speech Of
acceptance last year, but in speeches
since he became President.
