He so declared today in a minority report of the commerce committee submitted by him regarding the Sims bill to repeal the Panama canal tolls exemption. His report de- nounced the bill as public notice that the United States had aband- oned its policy of an American-con- trolled canal ang had ziven up its power to control its own shipping. The bill has already reported favorably by a majority of the com- mittee. The minority report says: *A situation unparallelled in the his- tory of the United States confronts the nation.
