Foreign Ships Toll Clash Resolved by Diplomatic Offer
Secretary Knox replies to Britain's protest over Panama canal tolls, pledging no extension of domestic coastwise trade into foreign fields and no toll increases to balance shipping. He proposes either rapid ratifications to revive a general arbitration treaty or creating a special commission to study effects on British shipping. The note argues Grey’s protest is inapplicable to current facts and aims to resolve tensions without arbitration.
