THE CANAL TOLLS.
SHIPOWNERS' MANOEUVRES,
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Washington, July 22 'A' point raised against tho proposed preferential tolls for American shipping using tho Panama Canal is that it is unreasonable to suppose that Great Britain would have made important concessions to tho United States in regard to tho ownership and even the fortification of tho Panama Canal zone without a quid pro quo. The latter would naturally bo equal treatment. Summarising the opinion of tho press from east to west, arbitration is the commonest suggestion. The British protest was received sympathetically. It is pointed out that tho whole business is partially duo to the manoeuvring of tho shipping subsidy clique. Tho same arguments lio against the differential tolls, as those that have hitherto defeated tile cliques' efforts to obtain subventions.
