many have always granted sabsidie
to their ships that go thraugh the
Svez Canal.
The PanaMa Canal is not strictly

t Was constructed artificially at the
sole cost of the U, S., and entirely
within Its Own terantory, ar terri-
tory of which this 'country has a
porpetnal lease from the Panama
rtePItIlwbaiile.
lbe observed that the U.
S. proposes to exempt from toll
only her vessels engaged in the
eoastwise trade, and as no foreign
✓ essel has ever been permitted to
enter that trade, the exemption
clause cannot affect foreign nations
in the least,.. for there is not any
nompetition an the eoastwise trede.
It is otherwise with American
vessels engaged in foreign trade
where competition is sharp and
brisk, and all such .Anieriean ves-
sels are obliged to pay the same
toll as foreign vessels have to pay
for the use of the canal.
The building of this canal will
save hundreds of millions of dollars
in transportation expenses to the
nations of the world, and no mat-
ter what is eharged as a toll, if at
all within reason, foreign .shipping
will still benefit by hundreds of
millions, because of American en -
o rgy. The canal practically outs
the trip from the east to the west
in two, by putting a lane of water
in the middle of the American con-
tinent. As a part payment for
this great outlay for the World's
benefit, America very modestly de-
mands that her own coastwise ships,
the ships of the nation that built
the canal without charge, and this,
considering the direinive size of
our merchant marine, is surely a
very insignificant compensation for
the work the U. S. has done in
bringing to a successful termina-
tion such a gigantic undertakine.
It was evidently taken for granted
at the time the treaty was drawn
up that tbe, ships of the nation that
built and that would own the ca-
nal, should lie exempt from toll in
its use and the clause in the
treaty referred to was inserted to
prevent discrimination between foe-
eien vessels in the general use of
the Canal, ar.d the •compensation
they shall pay -Was made equal for
all such vessels. It is a self-evident
proposition that the nation that
beilt and- that owns the canal
should ha -vie the free right to -use
it as she sees" fit, so long as she
accords the right of use to all other
nations on terms of equality as to
payment of tolls. So far, the only
protest seems to have come from
Great -.Britain. • France and ,Ger-
meny have offered no objection,
and even Japan, mere deeply inter-
ested than any other nation, makes
no protest against alloWing the
