EARLY SEHLEMENT SEEN Objections of Sir Edward Grey Thought to Pave the Way for Adjudication Dur? ing the Taft Ad ministration. i Th* Tribune B-, VPaeblhgton. ner. fr-OiWi Britain. through Ambassador Bryce, filod With the gocretary of siate to-night tha long beralded protest against the Panama Canal bill. Tho objections flflem I" af. ford ample basis for flOttlamont b> dip j lomatic negotiation of all the poLpts tl ; issiie before the close of this admitu tration. Sir Bdward t by his government in the earlier pro? test and eoaeedflfl the right of th* T'nited States to substdize its coastwise ! trade at its discrotion. The Britisn Seiretary for Foreign Affairs urjc"* i that h remlaalon of the toiia to eoaat* wise shipping may reasonably be as I sumed to make necessary laerggggd i. hurges to other vessels. and ls, there fore, a vlolation of the Hay-Pauncefoie treaty. Inasmuch as this administration ean ?Bflily show that such is not the case: that the basis on which the. chargea have heen eetabliebed it, in raii" parlame. "what the traffl.: will hear, and tha. the charge.s, even if inipose I on all vessels uslng the canal, would fall far short of meeting the expen-e of B-Blntenanca interest on the invest ment and reasonablo provision for a alnklng fund, thal objectbw can bo prompt ly disposed of. Cannot Affect Great Britain. While the British Foreign Secretary seejns to see some fundamental differ en.e betweeen subsidies, even though tneasured bv the amount of the tolls naid. and failure to collect tolls, lt wlll Jnot he diffi< ult to demonstrate that Ihfl method employe.l is merely a questioi of bookkeeping and tiiat lt cannot tf fe, t the Interests of Great Britain. whether the tolls on coastwise shlp ping nre actually collected and sub ?egnently refuadei fn tiie form of a ?Ubatdy. or whether thov are remltted ln the tirst plsee, always assuming. as Ih the case, that such remlaalon does not operato to increase the tolls Im? posed on foreign shipping. Sir Bdward Grej goes even further ln blfl admissions, granting ln effect thal th? Hay-PaunoogetO treaty does not even opcrata to prevent th-i I'nlted States from subaldiilng any of the. ves? sels, whei her engaged ln the coastwise trade or otherwlse, so that. ln the llght of the conccsslon made ln almost the opening parajcraph of the communlca tion. there appears to be nothing to prevent the I'nited States from aub aldtalng Bll Ita vessels, not alono th~=? engaged in tiie coastwise trade, but those which < ome Into direct competi? tion with British shipping. And thia ? omOOded, the arRument that this coun? try could not meaaure Its pubsidles t<* fureijen shipping by the nmount ex pended lu l'anama tolls falls to the ground. Confhcts with Taft's View. A strong and a OOttVlnetng argumen' is made by the> British Foreign Secre? tary ln support of the contention that the words "all nations" as used in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty Include th< l'nlted States, and in this < ontention i? at direct varlance with the views of the President and tha Se< retary of State. Having. however, conceded thr right of the I'nited States to subsidizi us own vessels, expressed in the lan gaug??"noi do they (hin majesty's gov? ernment) Mud elther in the letter or in the spirit 0 the Hay-Pauncefote treat> any Burrender by fllther of the con traetlng powers of the right to en courage ItB shipping or ite commerce i.y such subsidies as it may deem ex pedient"?the intei pr.tation of that sec? tion cf the treaty becomes !argel> .icademic, especially as it has beea proved almost beyond peradventute that t'otigress is unulterably opposed tu any stihsnly or similar encouragement for American shipping other than that angag)ad ln the coastwise trade. Etelteratlng the view thnt the Untte l States reaaalna free. under the terni.s uf | the treaty. t? grant sucli subsidies Bfl ? it may seo flt, Sir F.dward says further. His iiiajeat. s government do not ^u*? i tlon the rl?:ht of the L'nlted Btetflfl |o I ^rar.t subsidies to I'nited tftatej shi|? :,'enerall}, or to any partlcular branches i of that shipping. but it does not foilow I then fore. that the L'nlted States may BOl I be deborred by the Hay-Paunc.fot. treat\ froni Ktaiitina a subsidy to certaln shipping ln a partlcular way, lf the effect 1 ot' the method chosen for granlina ?ueh i aubflidy would be io imposa upon Brltlsh I or other foreign shipping an unfair shar. , of th.- b irden of the upkeep of the cansl j or to create a dlserlntlnatlon in respect to the condltlona or > harges of trafnV. o otherwlse to prejudice rights secured te Brltlsh shipping by thia treaty.
