History of the Long Fight Over Panama Canal Tolls
Washington June 11 The issue of tolling the Panama Canal for American vessels rose again as the House on May 22 1912 adopted an exemption for coastwise ships amid discussion on the civil government act. Britain protested to the State Department arguing the exemption violated the Hay Pauncefote treaty and could not be justified under the Clayton Bulwer terms. The dispute led to prolonged diplomacy and calls for repeal during President Wilsons first year, culminating in a 1914 joint session push for repeal and a call for voluntary withdrawal from the exemption policy.
