Washington, D C , Sept. 3—No less than thtee separate and distinct lines of action are open to the Brit ish government in dealing with the problems raised by the passing of the Panama Canal toll act. It is assumed here that because there is more than one available avenue for British shipping to seek relief, the British foreign office has said the notice of appeal for arbitration is premature. President Taft has indicated that there is one method by which the problem maybe attacked. Congress, however, did not think well of the suggestion. This was to include in the act a paragraph giving jurisdic tion to American courts to pass on whether the act constitutes' a di - crimination against British shipping in violation of the Hay-Pai»ncefote treaty. Another means of dealing with the British grievance is to allow •my British shipowner to test under the exising law in any United States court his right to use the canal under the treaty on the terms equally with American shipowners. The last avenu of relief is through arbitra tion, although many publicists have held that owing to changes of sov ereignty over the c inal zone ami other events that have developed since the Hay-Pauncefote treaty Great Britain has no actual right to demand arbitration The possibility of complications with Great Britain and other mari time nations over the canal was an ticipated at the session of Congress just ended bv the House Interstate Commerce Commission which intro duced a bill abrogating the free tolls provision l he bill is said to have the approval not only of a majority of the House committee but also to have been passed upon favorably if unofficially by the Senate committee.
