A STATEMENT WITHDRAWN. (By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright.) (Received March 21, 1.50 p.m.) WASHINGTON, 20th March. After an interview Senator Jones withdrew his statements about the relations of Great Britain with the United States^ but picbsed his mofion, consideration of which was deferred. I LScnator Jones, speaking in the Senate, I said President Wilson was determined to secure the repeal of the tolls exemption clause because he had recently conferred with Sir Lionel Carden I Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten- ! tiary in Central America), when an agreement was reached that Great I Britain would assist the United States to maintain the Monroe doctrine, which the Mexican situation threatened. The repeal of the tolls exemption was the price of non-interference by other nations in Mexico. Such a foreign policy was cowardly and craven to the last degree. Senator Jones asserted that the whole agitation was due to the" Canadian Pacific Railway's interest.]
