VIOLATION OF TREATY
WITH GREAT BRITAIN
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE.
Loudon, March 5. The Irish home
rule biH. was introduced in the house
of commons for first reading this af
ternoon. It was certain of passage.
Debate on it will begin Monday, when
will be called for second roading.
Iu the commons it has a majority but
the house of lords assuredly will re
ject it. This, to make it a law, will
necessitate its passage by the commons
twice more at succeeding sessions.
Many politicians think the liberal
administration, which' with the Irish
and labor members of the lower house
is backing the measure will be forced
out of office before this can be done.

"Washington, March 5. President
"Wilson today read a message to con
gress on the Panama caual toll propo
aition. His address follows:
"Gentlemen of congress: I have
come to you on an errand which can
4)e very briefly performed, but I beg
you will not measure its importance by
the number of sentences in which
.state it. No communication that
(have addressed to congress has carried
with it a more grave or far-reaching
implication to the interests of the coun
try, and I come now to speak upon
emitter with regard to which 1 am
charged to a peculiar degree, by the
constitution itself, with personal re
sponsibility.
Says It Violates Treaty.
"I have come to ask the repeal of
that provision of the Panama canal
act pf August 24, 1912 which exempts
vessels engaged in coastwise trade of
America from the payment of tolls
and uriro upon you the justice and
wisdom and huge policy of such a re
5eal with the utmost earnestness of
which I am capable. In my own judg
ment, maturoly formed after careful
consideration, I believe that exemp-
tion constitutes a mistaken economic
jpolicy from every point of view, ami
is, moreover, in plain contravention of
he treaty with Great Britain concern
xug the canal, concluded November 18,
1001.

Whatever mny be our own differences

liatcd measure, its meaning is not do
bated outside of the United States,
Everywhere else the language of the
trentv is given but one interpretation
and that interpretation precludes the
exemption I am asking you to repeal.
We consented to tho treaty; its langu
age wo accepted, if we did not origi-
nate it, and we are too big, too power
ful and too self-respecting a nation to
interpret with too strained or refined
reading the words of our own promises
just because we have power enough to
give us leave, to read them as we
filease.

of whether we are light or wrong, and

foreign policy of my administration.

other matters of even greater delicacy
and nearer consequences if you do not
grant it to mo In an ungrudging meas'

Last Sentence Significant
The last sentence of the address was

was taken as a veiled reference to the
