The signing by President Taft of the Panama bill, passed by the Uni- ted States Congress, effectuates, as far as formal action is concerned, the dishonor of the United States, as m- plied in the deliberate breach of a solemn international treaty, 1t also revives interest in the treaty whose provisions, together with a history of its origin and negotiation is given be- Jow, as a timely contribution to a consideration of the whole sub Searcely a year ago a general arbi- tration treaty between Great Britain and the United States after: being ap- proved b ythe president was emascu- lated in the Senate with the result that those enthusiasts who belleved that these reaties would do much to preserve-the- peaee -of the world, almost gave up in despair. Today the United States Senate, In spite of Gr Fitain's protest, has passed a Dill which directly abrogates the Hay-Paunceforte treaty with Great Britain. The history of the Hay-Paunceforte treaty is replete with instances which show how disagreements between nations may occur without either of the parties desiring such an end to their relations. The treaty is in- extricably woven with the Monroe doctrine and the nebulous rights claimed by the United States under that doctrine. It replaced the Clay ton-Bylwer treaty of 1850 which w: designed to prevent friction between the nations over the projected Ni- caraguan Canal. This latter treaty had been a continual source of irri- tation, ag was only to be expected, seeing that ndither oz the contracting parties had any absolutely valid rights in the territories it covered. Yet in any discussion of the Hay- Paunceforte treaty the Clayton-Bul- wer agreement has to be considered as to a certain extent it defined the rights of both Great Britain and the United States in Nicaragua. Briefly, before this treaty, G Great) Britain had large and indefinite ter- ritorial claims.in three regions, Brit- ish Honduras, the Mosquito Coast and the Bay Islands. These claims were very old in origin, but were clouded by interruptions of possession, con- tested interpretation of Spanish-Bri- tish treaties, and controversies with the Central American States. The Un- ited States, without any territorial claims, held in reserve ready for rat- Vfication treaties which Honduras and Nicaragua which gave her a certain diplomatic standing with regard to the British treaties .

Hail, Liv AND PANAMA CANAL TOL The Arrangement Between Great Britain and the United States, Which Governs, For All Nations, the Use of was found possible to come to some agreement. Accordingly in 1850 a treaty was drawn up which contained four essen- tlal points, It bound both parties not to ob- tain or maintain any exelusive con- trol of the propysed canal or unequal advantages In its use. It guaranteed the neutralization of the canal. It estimated.a general principle by which the two contracting parties should extend thelr protection, by treaty stipulation to any other prac- tlcable communications whether by canal or railway across the isthmus which connects South and North America. Finally -it-stipulated-that neither signatory would ever occupy or for- tify or colonize or assume or exer- cise any dominion over, Nicaragua, Costo Rica, the Mosquito Coast or any part of Central America, nor make use of any protectorate or alliance present or future to such ends. The treaty was signed on the 19th of April but before the exchange of ratifications the British government made a declaration that it did not tinderstand the treaty as applying to Honduras and its dependencies, Mr. Clayton made a counter declaration that the United States did not regard the treaty-as applying to British Hon- durag nor the small islands in the neighborhood of that settlement, but that the treaty did apply to all. the Central American States and their de- pendencies. Naturally the interpretation. of of these declarations soon became matter of controversy, but in 1860 British treaties with Central Ameri- can states settled the Bay Islands and Mosquito questions very nearly in accord with the United States con- tentions, and for many years the Un- ited States accepted this settlement without cavil; Until 1866 the policy of the United States was consistently for intcr-oceanic canal open equally to all nations and unequivocally neu- tralived, Until practically 1880 there was uo official divergence from this policy but about 1882 avariety of rea- sons were advanced why the United States might justly repudiate at will the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, It was stated that national self interest de- manded the abrogation of the treaty that circumstances had altered cases and that the United States was in a very different position with regard to the Central American States than when that treaty was made.

In 1884 treaty was made with Nicaragua but was not ratified and in 1896 the Nicaraguan Canal As- sociation was formed in New York. It was not, however, until after the Spanish-American war that the ni tion fully awoke to the importance of the question, Im, 1900 a commission reported to, Congress on the feasibil- ity of the two routes, Nicaragua or Panama, pronouncing in favor of the former owing-to the difficulty of ne- gotiating with the Panama Canal Co., which had exelualve concessions from the Colombian government. This re- port made the Panama Canal Com- pany anxious to sell to the United States and in the spring obtained leave from the Colombian government to sell its concession to the former country. It named a price of 40,000,000 and on the 18th of Jan- uary, 1902, the Commission reversed its former report jand advised. the ad- option of the Panama route. A few days previous to this report the Hepburn bill, authorizing the Nic- araguan Canal at 2 cost of 180,000,- 000. had been carried in the House of Representatives, but when it reached the Senate, it was amended by the Spooner Bill, which authorized the president to acquire all the property of the Panama Canal Company for a obtain-from Colombia perpetual con- trol of'a strip of land six miles wide.

At the ame time It shows how during all these years Great Britain had always stuck to the principle of a neutral unforti- fied, and free canal for all nations. It became Increasingly evident, however that the original treaty would have to be amended and accordingly on November 18, 1901, the Hay-Paunce- forte treaty was signed. The one thing Great Britain in ed on was the neutralization of the cafial. Sir Jullan Pauncefotete was Instructed to concede anything that aid not nullify that principle. The ne- gotiations lasted a considerable time, the draft treaty being first sont to the Senate on Feb. 5 ,1900. This trea- ty provided that a canal might be constructed by the, United States or under itd direction, that it should be permanently neutralized on the ba- sis of the Suez Canal agreement, which thus provided that it be kept open at all times, elther of war or peace to all vessels. without discrim- ination, and that lt; no fortifications were to be constructed commanding the-canat or the waters-adjacent and that other powers, showld be. invited to join in this guaranty of neutrali- ty. These provisions excited intense hostility und Senator Davis offered an Amendment which was adopted by the committee on forelgn affairs cancel- ling the very features for which it was drawn up. This amendment pro- vided that the neutralization clause should not prevent the United States from taking any measures it might deem needful for its own, defence or ine preservation of order. It further deglared the Clayton-Bulwer treaty specifically abrogated and strack out the clause inviting the concurrence f other powers. In this form the treaty was rati- fied by the Senate, but Great Britain naturally refused to accept such a version of the treaty and It expired by limitation on March. 5, 1901. Sir Juan Pauncefote and Mr. Hay set to Work once more and made a compromise treaty-which was signed by them on Noy. 18, 1901, sent to the Senate by President Roosevelt and ratified by that body on December 16. The original treaty stated that: The canal shall be.free and open in time of war jas in time of peace, to the vessels of commerce and of war of ll nations on terms of entire equality. No fortification shall be erected commanding the canal or its ad- Jacent territory. The -bigh contracting parties will fmmediately, upon notification of this conyention, bring it to the notice of other powers and invite them to adhere to it. The amended treaty read that: The canal shall be free and op- en to the vessels of commerce and of war of all nations observing these rules on. terms of entire equ- ality so that there shall be ro dis- crimination against, any such nation or its citizens of subjects in re- spect of the conditions or charges of traffic or otherwise. Such con- ditions of and charges of traffic shall be just and equable, It Is agreed that the canal may be constructed under the auspices of the government of the United States either directly at its own cost, or by gift or loan of money to individuals or corporations, or through subscription, through or purchase of stock or shares, and that, subject to the provisions of the present treaty, the sald gov- ernment shall have and-enjoy all the rights Incident to such con- struction as: well as the exclusive right of providing for the regul: tion and management of the canal It will be seen that by this last clatise the United States is given the right to fortify the canal, but -the whole clause is gubject to the canal being free and open and the condi- tions of traffic being just and equ- able, supposed to be open to question, but Lord Lansdowne settled it when he ter especially covering its possible unfavorable interpretation to the-Un- ited States. fore perfectly explicit.
