PANAMA TOLLS.
THE EXEMPTION CLAUSE.
CHAMPIONED BY SENATOR SMITH.
Press Association—Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received Wednesday, at 11.20' a.m.)! WASHINGTON, Tuesday. Senator Hake Smith championed the repeal of the exemption clause of the Panama Canal Bill. He said Mr Taft was wrong in supporting the Democrats' idea in voting to free coast-wise trade from the tolls was to give a subsidy to American coast-wise shij}s. The Hay-Pauncefotc Treaty was undoubtedly part of the United States' title to the Canal zone, therefore the abolition, of the Treaty was absurd. If the Treaty was terminated the United States would be obliged to give up control of the Canal unless she abandoned her attitude as a law-abiding nation and resorted to brute force to keep what she had illegally obtained.
