NEW YORK COTTON. WASHINGTON. Dec. 2 7r— ( hair- mnn Adamson, of the House Inter state and Foreign Commerce Com mitter has struck his first blow t free Panama Canal tolls for Ameri can t oast wise vessels. In joint resolution lie propose* .t suspension of the existing law r >r free tolls to American ships for two years that the cost of operation of the Panama Canal may be ascer tained During these two years American ships, coastwise and ocean 'freighters, would pay the same tolls as all foreign ships. The President is given authority to pass on the relative cost of using the Panama Canal and its maintenance, and at the end of two years may de cide whether the tolls thus collected will be more than sufficient for maln- •enance of cost of operation of the anal. In this event the President is to enforce the law for free can i! tods for American ships. Beaten Twice Before. Adamson has been beaten twice on a like proposition, and the comm: - tee membership has not been changed in the last two years. Adamsons resolution provides “That the operation and enforce ment of the following provision: ‘No tolls shall he levied upon vessel* en gaged in the coastwise trade of the Cnited States,’ which provision 1* the second sentence In section 5 of tie- act entitled ‘an ad to provide f »n the opening, maintenance, protection and operation of the Panama Canal and sanitation and government of •he Canal Zone,’ approved August 24. 1912. shall he and hereby is sus pended subject to the'following con- di; ions : At any time after the Panama anal shall have been opened and successfully operated for two year.*, f. In the Judgment of the President, the revenue derived from toll* of vea- -els other than those engaged in the oastwiae trade of the Cnited State* •shall he sufficient to defray the cost .f maintaining «.nd operating the ■ i- rial and the expense of government <nd sanitation of the Canal Zone, and >.!1 diplomatic questions touching the treatment of vessels as to conditions r charges of traffic at he canal shill have been adjusted, then the Presi dent is authorized to issue an execu tive order declaring such suspended exemption of full force ..nd effect. Plan Is Test, He Says. From the date of such executive ■rder such exemption shall b<* allowed and enforced, but until such execu tive order shall have been issued the \esnels engaged in the coastwise trade of the Cnited Slates shall pay the name tolls required of other ves sels." Explaining his resolution. Mr. Adamson says: This resolution proposes two things -first, an experimental test to demonstrate whether or not the tolls will pay the expenses of operating j the Canal exclusive of the tolls of j the coastwise trade, and the other, to afford opportunity to adjust all ques- j ions of diplomacy touching the to' v If it is demonstrated that the tolls j ire sufficient to spare the tolls to the oastwise trade. ; he Stale Depart ment will he allowed time to pdjust questions growing out of the treaty ] stipulation*, and if the advocates of exemption are founds to have been correct in their contention as to a sufficiency of revenue and the diplo matic (questions are settled in their favor, an executive order will then put the exemption into force.” Wilson Silent on Plan. Representative Adamson intro duced the resolution on his own re- ooimlblHty, and It "ill not g-> before Congress as an Administration meas ure It was said in high official cir cle*. however, that the silence of the Administration did not mean that the proposed step was disapproved. Any' declaration of policy on the subject of canal tolls has been avoided since President Wilson assumed office last Mai rh. When Ambassador Bryce left | Washington in April, it was vaguely understood that he had some sort of assurance that no effort would be made by the Cnited States to execute the free tolls provisions of the canal act. The weight of opinion in official circles is that now that Sir Cecii Spring-Rice, the present British Am bassador. has regained his health, he will be prepared to resume the nego tiations at the noint where they wer^ suspended, though he probably will wait a reasonah.e time to afford Congress an opportunity to act upon the Adamson bill.

Wainwright and Others Make Plea for Four-Battleship Plan to Insure Peace. CHICAGO. Dec. 27.—A plea for four! new battleships a year and praise for | William Randolph Hearst. were the j features of an address made here be- for the Hamilton Club by Re^r Ad miral Richard Wainwright. Rear Admiral Wainwright was ex ecutive officer on board the Maine when that ship was blown up In Havana harbor on February 15. 1898. He sharply criticised the “inadequate naval program” outlined by Con gress. Colonel Robert M. Thompson, president of the New York Athletic Club and chairman of the Amerioan Committee on Olympic Games, ably seconded the rear admiral. ‘ Unless we have a strong navy for coast defense it will be as easy for foreign armies to capture Chicago as New York and San Francisco.” said Colonel Thompson. Rear Admiral Wainwright said he was in favor of peace, but that his methods were different than those of the pacificists. “Preachers of that false security called peace think an international court will decide questions of na tional honor in the future." he said. “They fail to understand that the court must have a strong military power at hand to enforce its de cisions. “We should build four battleships each year, with the necessary auxil iaries. Up to the present time we owe everything we have accom plished to William Randolph Hearst for his untiring efforts in behalf of a larger navy. He has aroused the nation and will arouse it still fur ther. we are sure, until we get some action taken that will insure this country against the attacks of its possible enemies. “As our navy stands to-day. it is efficient as to officers, men and ships, but we are hopelessly outnumbered by the great military powers, and we need a navy for defense. The coun try is rich enough. “You can’t get recruits on the eve of war and get them into fighting trim In a few weejes. By the time they are ready to fight the war is over."
