Taft Moves on Canal Treaty and Navy Reform
President Taft sent Congress a memorandum supporting the canal bill and opposing British claims that would force a surrender of U S rights to regulate commerce. He backs an amendment to the interstate commerce act restricting railroad ownership of canal carriers and denies antitrust concerns. The president also favors a memorial fountain for Archibald W. Mute bio and signs appropriations totaling about 260 million dollars plus army and War Department reforms. A joint resolution, asked by Secretary Stimson, amends a bill previously passed by House and Senate.
