Washington, Feb. 9.—President
Wilson from the first has regarded
the declaration of the Baltimore
platform, in favor of the exemption
of American ships from Panama Ca

today that he thought the platform
declarations should be limited to
matters of domestic policy.
President Wilson feels/ also, that
there has been a change in the In
ternational aspect of the tolls ques
tion, which necessitates a change In
the attitude of this government. He
reiterated h!s previous statement
that he would use his influence to
secure an immediate repeal of this
provision.
The President told his callers to
day that the whole International
ituation, and the point of view of
foreign governments to some ex
tent, was Involved In the contro
versy. It was made e’ear. however,
that formal protests have been made
only by England.
