Great Britain's protest and Taft on the canal tolls
Britain's note argues enforcing tolls through the canal aligns with the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and coasts trade interests. Taft proclaims US ownership of the canal and that tolls must apply equally to all, with possible subsidies for domestic ships not constituting discrimination.
Treaty Clause Ensures Equal Navigation Rights for All Nations
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty states the canal will be free and open to vessels of commerce and war from all nations adopting its rules. It imposes no discrimination against any nation or its citizens, and traffic conditions and charges must be just and equitable.
