Opening of Bitter Debate Over Repeal
of Panamj Canal Tells In Upper
House Characterized by Denuncla
1'on of Administration's Mexican
Policy and Surrender of Rights.
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.
