Excerpt from The Panama Canal Tolls Controversy: Or a Statement of the Reasons for the Adoption and Maintenance of the Traditional American Policy in the Management of the Panama Canal
We concluded, upon examination of the record after President Wilson's brief message asking the Congress to repeal the tolls-exemption clause of the Panama Canal act, that many honest, sincere and patriotic American citizens had, as we ourselves had before examining the subject in a judicial frame of mind, assumed basic conditions contrary to the actual record, and that many had argued upon popular misconceptions of vital facts.
We aimed to present a conclusive statement of facts demonstrating that the United States cannot grant free transportation through the Panama Canal to its coastwise and foreign shipping without violating the hay-paunce fote treaty.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a thorough examination of the legal and moral controversy that erupted after the passage of the Panama Canal Act of 1912. The act exempted U.S. coastwise and foreign shipping from tolls while passing through the Panama Canal, which aroused fierce debate over whether it violated the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The treaty, dating back to 1901 between the US and Great Britain, stipulated all ships were to receive equal treatment when passing through the canal, irrespective of their flag. The book includes addresses from prominent politicians of the time who argued for the repeal of the tolls exemption clause, citing its violation of the treaty and its potential to strain international relations. The repeal eventually occurred during the Wilson administration. Through primary source documents, this book sheds light on a pivotal moment in the history of the Panama Canal. It highlights the paramount importance of adhering to international agreements and the role of morality and diplomacy in shaping foreign policy.
