The Panama Canal Tolls Controversy: Or a Statement of the Reasons for the Adoption and Maintenance of the Traditional American Policy in the Management of the Panama Canal (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from The Panama Canal Tolls Controversy: Or a Statement of the Reasons for the Adoption and Maintenance of the Traditional American Policy in the Management of the Panama Canal We concluded, upon examination of the record after President Wilson's brief message asking the Congress to repeal the tolls-exemption clause of the Panama Canal act, that many honest, sincere and patriotic American citizens had, as we ourselves had before examining the subject in a judicial frame of mind, assumed basic conditions contrary to the actual record, and that many had argued upon popular misconceptions of vital facts. We aimed to present a conclusive statement of facts demonstrating that the United States cannot grant free transportation through the Panama Canal to its coastwise and foreign shipping without violating the hay-paunce fote treaty.
