Tho scene of the leader of the House majority, who had led the successful fights for practical ly all. the administration measures, combatting the position' of the Presi dent, attracted wide attention. Mr. Underwood urged defeat of the Sims' bill, which follows President Wilson'? recommendation for the repeat of the tolls exemption. He' declared the the repeal was contrary to the plat from of the democratic, party adopted at tho BaldmAro ':2T\'ZZ.tiZZ\. ??u tu. an exemption favoring American coastwise ships did not violate the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Not fdr one marnent do I believe we have violated, a treaty" declared Mr. Underwood. "Our whole difficulty arisca from the un-American spirit of surrender that some of our own noo nie have exhihited toward thia impor tant question from the very beginning. "Can any one tell us plainly why we surrender and what is to be accom plished by itt Ajre. we to yield merely because the sentiment of Europe .ls against, us?

"Let us resolve the Issue into the question aa to whether the platform of the democratic party favoring ex emption of tolls of American ships en gaged in coastwise trade passing thtough the Panama Canal ia best for the nation and the people of our coun try, or whether the gentleman from Tennessee In thia bill now pending be fore the House repudiating the declar ation of the democratic party, ls pro legislation that will be most al to our nation and our peo Representatlve Underwood quoted to show that the cost of mam of the canal, and interest on the government's investment could be met easily without charging Ameri can vessels toll? and by charging for tArCu" rcn?Erala ?

The democratic tariff law that is now oh the statute' hooka carries in it a discrimination amounting to a rcduc tien of five por cent, of the duties on Roods'imported in American ships. "If we have built tho ?anal for the benefit of an American merchant ma rine and not for practical exclusive uae Of foreign shipping, we must adopt a policy, of discrimination tn favor of American ships, or we must, in the end pay indirect subsidies to enable our ships to compete with ships.of foreign nations. The subsidies: aita' discrim inations that European^ governments have given' to their shipping Interests Lave prsc?icsi?r driven American' ships from the seaa. "For the reasons given I believe that ' the democratic 'party waa both wise and patriotic when lt announced ? policy In favor of discriminating in i fav?,i of our coastwise ships going through the Pana"1* Canal and tba'J there ia no reason nt this time why vre should abandon a solemn promise made to the American people in one of ? the moat prominent planks in out-par- : ty platform. tfr > ot Violating Treaty, "But we ere told ti . we1 ere vio lating a solemn treaty made with an-' other nation and In good faith that we' Bbould abandon tho canal-ito foreign I rivals without contest or dispute. ln? order that we may keep our'standing , In the family of nations.

' "It asjema to me. clear that lt does Britain or any foreign 'nation to com plain' that we have, not given them fair ind equitable treatment in the tolla that we have charged for the pansage )f their,shlpa through the canal.
