MEXICAN FEDERAL TROOPS IN DOUBLE VICTORY Senator Jones Wants to Know Why United States Should Be So Servile. WASHINGTON, March 18.—De elaring that repeal of the clause ex empting United States coastwise ship ping from payment of Panama Canal tolls, following Great RBritain’s pro test, would be a part of the price this nation must pay to get the help of a foreign power in the adiustment of the unfortunate Mexican situation, Senator Wesley T. Jones, of, Wash ington, in the Serate to-day called up his resolution asking President Wil son for full information as to all for eign protests against the enactment of the Democratic platform pledge ¢n tolls. “Why is it necessary for us to re peal a law of great domestic concern in order that some unknown foreign policy may be brought to a successful issue?” he asked. “Is noninterference in Mexico by foreign powers to be bought at this price? Have we be come g 0 inert, so weak, so servile, that the Monroe Doctrine must be sus tauined and invigorated by the very powers against which it was im voked ?” Senator Jones declared that an agreement for an alliance with Eng land has been reached, and that as a part of it Great Britain is to seek reparation for its losses on Confeder ate bonds. Burden Forever on Our Ships. Should the exemption clause be re peated, the Senator asserted, ‘‘the burden of tolls must rest forever on our coastwise ships, unless we see fit to relieve all vessels from tolls, What argument does he (the President) pre sent? What reason does he offer? Absolutely none. Ile says the ‘ex emption constitutes a mistaken eco nomic policy from every point of view.’ He gives no reason, he citea no facts upon which to base this as sertion, contrary to his public declara tion in the last campaign. “This exemption contravenes no treaty obligations either in letter or in spirit, and, therefore, no question of national honor is involved. It is solely an economic one, and the in terests of our own peopie are alone to be considered. Let me assert, as pos itively as language will permit, that those who favor this exemption arz as jealous of the naticnal honor as those who oppose it.” A Disastrous Policy. Senator Jones declared that to fol low the dictation of another nation would lead to disastrous consequences and said if it were followed the United States would waive its right to forti fy the canal, to prevent an enemy’s warships passing through it, to keep our own warships in the canal, to bar undesirable citizens from our shores, or to decide upon the naturalization of AVIATOR MEETS DEATH.
