PANAMA CANAL TOLLS
PLEDGE TO EXEMPT AMERICAN COASTAL TRADE.
(Rec. January 17, 5.5 p.m.)
New York, January 16.
The “New York Times” Washington correspondent states that it is understood that Mr. Harding, in order to carry out the campaign pledge to exempt American coastwise trade from Panama Canal tolls, will open negotiations with Englund. The Hay-Paunce-fote Treaty negotiated between Britain and the United States forbids such exemption. It is recalled that President Wilson caused the repeal of an exemption law once passed on the ground that it would seriously affect Anglo-American relations. It is now believed that Britain will probably agree to the exemp-tion.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
