GUTS OFF ALL TOLLS Exemption Aims to Help American Trade
A proposed amendment to the canal act would exempt tolls for all vessels owned by citizens of any country engaged solely in trade between North and South American ports. Sponsored by a New Mexico senator, the measure argues it would not violate the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty and aligns with Monroe Doctrine principles. Debate shows strong support and opposition regarding revenue and strategic impact.

Fears of Wilson Motive in Tolls Debate Sparks Disharmony
In the Senate a tolls clash pits Gallinger against Lewis and Owen as the administration pushes repeal while seeking a compromise. Lewis urges an intermediate policy granting the President power to suspend tolls, arguing the tolls issue ties to Great Britain and growing U.S. risks in Mexico. He links U S actions in the Philippines and colonial policy to England's influence, noting paralysis in negotiations with Japan over immigration and exclusion.
