there is no technical difference be?

as a landing force In a foreign coun?

which Invariably associates the land?

and a permanency of purpose. On the
other hand, marines and blue Jackets
are so frequently called upon for the
most temporary and exigent service as
to excite little comment.

GOVERNMENT WILL
REFUSE ARBITRATION
Not Likely to Permit Its Right to Relieve Its
Own shipping From Tolls to Go to The
Hague for Settlement.
Washington, August 29 Although
tin- Stu(>: Department will authorize iloj
statement tu that effect It is understood]
i. -r. that the adniinlstratlon ivlll de?
cline to permit the question of the
right of the United State? to relieve its
dtyh shipping froth tolls. In the Panama
Canal go to arbitration. This position 1
of tho government, it is s.iid. may noil
bo developed fully for some time. I
While the British protest delivered I
yesterday clearly intimated a purpose:
to demand an arbitral decision ill tho
event that a more careful study of the'
Panama Canal toll act bore out the.1
impression conveyed by the nrst read
inw. that It Is in violation of the Hay-:
Pauncefote treaty, if the usual course
in diplomatic exchange is followed
there must bo many arguments und'
counter-arguments submitted on ,,,,ln
^ides before the resources of diplomacy,
will bu exhausted, thus warranting a
demand for arbitration The British'
foundation for such a demand rests'
upon the broad basis of two special
treaties between America and Great
Britain. In addition to the great gen?
eral convention creating The Hague
tribunal and binding all other parties;
to adjust their disputes by recourse to
its methods. The Urs', of these trea?
ties, the liayiPauncefoe treaty, in Its
third article, doclaios that there shall
be no discrimination against any ofj
the nations obeying tho rules of a
canal, nnd in Its fourth article ass. its
that no rhnnge of territorial sovereign?
ty shall affect the obligation Of Ameri?
ca and Urca.t Britain under tho treaty.
Th.- second special treaty, that made be?
tween the then Secretary Hoot and Ambas?
sador Uryce, Jmt !n-.ir yiars aKO, hinds
each country to submit to The Hague trt
leinal any difference that may arise reiatlnfc*
to the Interpretation of treaties provided
that "they do no-, affect the Vital Interests,
with tho Indcpendere t or the honor of tlm
parties
On Its face at British demand for arhltra
tlon on such a bssi.- Is generally regarded
to 'ee sound and beyond discussion. From
the American view point there art ninny
loopholes for escape from the flrltlsh con
ten tlon, sad th.o,. may be expected to de?
velop In ths negotiations. In the first place,
It may bo contend-d that the admission of
America coastwise '.raffle to free ;..i--h.-i
In the canal cons::; ;*es no actual discrim?
ination nxalnst British shipping, Bxlstlnf,
law permits no foreign bottoms lo transport
American coastwise commerce; and British
vessels .could net he employed to carry
Roods from New York to Pan Francisco
ihiouKh the canal .v.-n If they be relieved
frnin tolls. Thus It Is nr|;iied It cannot be
claimed that line h commerce is affected
cay or another by this favored treat?
ment of American -:.lps.
Another America-, iirirument Is that owing
to the acquisition by America of Sever
<lpri!> over the Canal Zono the liny
Pauncefote treaty no lonKer applies to II,
that convention bi ihk Itself voidable un?
der the well recognized principle of Inter?
national law which mnlt.-s a treaty's life
