Wilson Lacks Party Support Over Panama Toll Exemption
Senator O’Gorman of New York, as head of the interoceanic canals committee, warned Democratic colleagues that repealing the toll exemption would betray the Baltimore platform and the people’s verdict. He argued exempting coastwise vessels lowers shipping costs and pressures U.S. rail and road rate competition while maintaining sovereignty over a Panama Canal free and open to vessels of all nations.
