THE PANAMA CANAL.
TAFT AND ARBITRATION. SENATORS’ OPINIONS. JBy Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (United Press Association.) (Received 8.0 a.m.) New York, January 5. President Taft announces that he is willing to agree to arbitrate on the Panama Canal whenever the point at issue is actually reached. Senator Bacon, commenting on the announcement, said that the United States must submit the matter to arbitration, as it was the only way out of the difficulty. Senator Townsend said he was of the opinion they might well abandon the Monroe Doctrine as consent to arbitration. Senator Cullen said Congress could on its own volition impose tolls without reference to any treaty. Senator Stone said he would rather repeal the Canal law than arbitrate. He added that President Taft had not stated what tribunal he desires, and roundly denounced the Senate for rejecting the Anglo-American Arbitration Bill and creating obstacles in the way of the world’s peace.
