(Press ABsn.— By Telegraph.— Copyright.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. ... Some quarters regard the British case as weakened by finesse iri making a distinction between acknowledging America's right to financially-; assist vessels using the canal, and leaving the other nations' to d°,the same, and the vague assertion that other forms of subsidising are discriminatory. ,
The Tribune, which usually reflects the official view, says that Britain, in admitting the right to subsidise, has retreated from her former contention tliat exception from tolls is an infraction of the treaty.
