CAVAL PREFERENCE OF POSED
The Morning Post objects to a U S proposal to grant preference to American shipping in the Panama Canal. It argues such discrimination would violate the Hay Pauncefote treaty and calls any evasion of obligations a sign that pledges are meaningless. Interviews with British shipping authorities are cited, with Sir Walter Runciman remarking the British government would be caught napping if true.
