SUSPEND GANAL TOLLS EXEMPTION Resolution Presented in Congress Would Enforce a Charge Upon American Vessels For Two Years—President May Then Raise Suspension if Revenues Warrant It and Dip- plomatic Situation is Adjusted—Administration Silent. ‘Washington, Dec. 23:—A joint reso- lution to cenditionally suspend the op- | eration of the provision of the Pan- jama canal act granting free passage i to American coastwise vessels was in- | troduced teday by Chairman Adamson of CGeorgia, of the house eemmeree eommitiee. The suspension would be subject te the following condltions: Cenditions of Suspension. "At any time after the Panama canal esstul- all have been openedl and su operated for two years, judgment of the president, the rev- | enues derived frem tolls of vessels other than those engge®d in the coast- wise trade of the United States shall ficient to defray the cost of ing and operating the canal government and zone, aund all touching and the expense of sanitation of the dl\dl { ques at the canal shall traffi charges of have been adjusted, then the president is authorized to or- | der declaring such suspended exemp- | tion_of full force and effect. It would an executive order the.exemption i be allowed, eis of the United States should pay ame toll as othe The free toll »n now is under diplomatic pro- s | shot ve: the Not Administration Measure. Representative Adamson olution on his own r d it will not go befc as an administrati said in high official that the silence of the sponsibil- the ity circles, administratios the | reatment of vessels as to conditions of | her provide that from the date of | but until that time | introduced ! 1did not mean that the proposed step | was disappreved. Any declaration of policy on the subject of canal toils has been avoided since President Wilson assumed office last March. When Ambassador Bryce left Wash- ington in April it was generally under- stoed that he had secured some sort of assurance that ne effort would be| made by the United States to execute | the free tolls provision of the canal act. There has been no offitial con- firmation of this, but significance has been aftached to the faet that nego- tiations between Washington and Lon- don in regard to the tolls question came to a complete stop about that time, and the British government has made no effort to resume them. al- though Mr. Bryce's last note pra 1 ly committed the British foreign office | to the delivery of another communica- | tion ampiif: g and strengihening the points adduced by the .\nlbastadul in opposition to the argument of the state departinent in support of the existing { canal toils act. ) Surplus Expected from Tolls. l‘ toll “Those of us who advocated uniform | d Mr. Adamson, “rested our case largely on the contention that| the tolls would be needed, to operate | | the canal, to prevent the operation and maintenar from becoming a charge; Most of those who exemption for the coast- wise trade professed that if the gov- ernment really needed the tolls to op- the canal, then they would not | t on exemption, but they contend- | ed that there would be a large surplus | . | of tolls from other vessels and that th exemption could well be afforded, considering the plethora of revenue.” GOVERNMENT PAID FOR UNDELIVERED COAL Charged for 33,223 More Tons of Fuel Than It Received.
