W'ASHINOTO.V, May I. With both factions confident of victory, the debate on the resolution provid ing for the repeal of llm exemption clause of the Panama canal tolls act s urted in the Minatc today by Hen alor Tuwnsend of Michigan. It was not expected that 11 final vote would be reached for several weeks. Judications- today were that the debate would be Ion mid bitter. "I will not vote my government, of winch I am part, guilty of pcrfidv and (fishonor, in order to obtain the approval of the selfish shipping in terest of 11 foreign nation," declared .Senator Townsend of Michigan at the conclusion of n speech against thu tolls exemption rrHNils bill in the sen ate this afternoon. In the course of his speech lie paid attention to President Wilson's Mex ican policy. Criticises Mcxiran Policy ''Out of our Mexican relations nn possible credit or honor can come to our country,'' he said. "The war now raging between Ituerta nnd (he Unit ed Stntes will be recorded iu history as having originated iu on unjustifi able staled cause. ''Wax it Cato, the Woman orator, who hail su.'h n hatred of Carthago tjiat he clos-'d every seecli with the words, 'Carthage must be destroyed' f Our president nssumed 11 similar at titude toward Huerta. lie has, how ever, entered upon anned interven tion in Mexico ami every patriotic American will follow Ihe commander-in-chief, right or wrong,' in this in stance. Iluertu will nrobnbly be de stroyed, and to accomplish this de struction thousands of America's best boys and of .Mexico's guiltless sons may die. President Censured "Action now may ilotenniue whether we shall continue to st-ttlu for ourselves matters affecting our domestic affairs mid our national honor or whether 'right or wrong, we shall, at the behest of 11 president no matter how sincere, repudiate our past, weaken the Monroe doctrine, under which it has been possiblu to deinncrntuo the western continent, and with no new reason except that the president demnnds it. "If, iu the 1 nurse of this deba'e, thu president has been loo severely crit icised mid if he shall hereafter be im properly arraigned, he cannot justly complain. He should nt least bine taken the congress into his confi dence and presented the real reasotis which were evidently sufficient lo ef feet u change iu him. To riieuH'n Living Cost "It i impossible that the shorter Panama route will not have the effect of cheapening transportation or bet tering thu facilities or both between the middle west mid the Pacifiu coast. I do not expect 11 great re duction iu individual rate-, bccaiiso of thu Pauamii canal influence, hut the nggregttt? benefit will bo great, much greater than the aggregate of remitted tolls on domcatiu shipping." Towiiscnd discussed at length thu diplomutio history of the canal nego tiations and attempted to show Hint the exemption of coastwisu ships from tolls did not constitute n viola tion of its letter or spirit.
