PANAMA CANAL
ATTITUDE OF BRITAIN
OPINIONS OF NEWSPAPERS
(Received Last Night, 8.10 o'clock.) WASHINGTON, December 12. In some quarters the British case is regarded as weakened by the fineness of tho distinction between acknowledging America's .right to .financially assist vessels using tho Panama Canal, leaving tho other nations to do the same, and the vague assertion tliat other forms of subsidising are discriminatory. Tho Tribune, which usually reflects the official view, says that Britain, in admitting the right to subsidise, has retreated from her former contention that exemption from tolls is an infraction of treaty rights. The N.ciw York Evening Post says that the only stiraigh 1 : and (manly oourso is to repeal the dubious and offensive clause, and thii,« escape a domestic blunder; otherwise-, arbitration was the only courso open.
