O'Gorman, of New York in an interview on the Panama canal bill, “the American people will be greatly surprised that so little re- gard for American rights was mani- {ested at the time of the adoption of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, because, it the view alluded to be the correct one, it must follow that while the United States has expended $400,- 000,000 of American money in the construction of the canal its citizens must be denied the rights that are enjoyed by the subjects of Great Britain and of every other foreign vower. | cannot imagine that con- dition nor will I believe that the lats John Hay, who executed the treaty on the part of the United States, ever thought for 1 moment that we were estopped from exempting Americi ships frcm the payment of tolls be- cause of certain «lauses of the treaty which are now interpreted to mean that very thing. “It does not secm possible that the richt pessessed by every other na- tan «n earth with respect to the Pareaee canal, our canal, is deni»d to our own citizens by a composi- called o treg which is not remarkable cision of expression or its respect of the Monroe | tion, or convention, for its vre- doctrine.” Senator O'Gorman then voi fwhat seems to be o zrowing :nn-n!, that behind the protest of Great Britain Inrks the inthience of the railroads of Canada and the United ttes which have been ens fabled to secnre the co-operation of the Pritish foreign office, thereby mbarrassing the government of the United State in the attempt now in wde tor wholesome logisla- moto keep railroad-controlled ships et the canal, so that competition Yy live and thrive “The railroad companies have { been incorporated for railroad pur. continued Senator O'Gor- v and they have destroyed com- petition wherever they have been permitted to secure control of com- peting water transportation facili- ties. “If drastic legislation is necded to make competition wholesome on the canal then I stand ready to voto for that legislation, because I have a h\'e]\' appreciation of the possibil- f the injury which may be done 'Iw \nn-rh'm people if the railroads are not kept out of the canal. “We should exempt from the pay- ment of tolls all American shipping going thro the canal and we should see to it that railroad-owned steamships should not use thoe canal. Such action on the part of the Amer- fcan Congress in my judgmen: wenld nat violate the language and caw ot violate the spirit of the treaty that has been invoked against us.” . SRR iR
