Debates Over Panama Canal Tolls Split Democratic Party
The nation watches a House vote on repealing the Panama Canal tolls exemption amid party strain. President seeks repeal citing foreign policy embarrassments, while Democrats split between party platform and executive pressure. Senator Stone defends Clark and calls for dignified debate free of personal attacks.
Foreign dangers cited in Senate debate on repeal
Senator Lewis of Illinois warned that failure to repeal the exemption clause could invite foreign aggression. He described Russia seizing Alaska, Japan taking the Philippines and Hawaii, and added enemies attacking the Pacific coast while the U S faced pressure over Mexico. He tied the talk to the Presidents call for repeal and recalled a Massachusetts speech linking foreign threats to a Democratic governor race.
