British Triumph Opposes Panama Canal Toll Repeal
Washington May 8 Sen O Gorman chairman of the Inter oceanic Canals Committee urged against repealing the Panama Canal toll exemption. He argued exemption aids U S coastwise vessels and limits rail rate increases, casting doubt on the treaty and warning it would undermine American sovereignty and provoke British diplomacy. He cited Hay-Pauncefote changes and U S control of the canal zone as making the treaty inoperative for coastwise ships.
