If a vessel starts from Liverpool with a cargo destined for San Francisco. it can take this cargo to New York and transship it to an American coastwise vessel. which can go through the canal free from tolls and reach San Francisco. whereas a vessel starting from Liverpool direct through the canal to San Francisco must pay tolls. That is inequality of treatment. as I view the treaty. If a vessel comes from an Asiatic port to San Francisco. it can transship its cargo to an American coastwise vessel and have it taken to New York through the canal free of tolls. but another vessel coming from Asiatic ports going direct through the canal to New York must pay tolls. and. again. that is inequality of treatment. as I view the treaty. For these reasons and for the fact that we are bound in honor to observe the treaty rightfully interpreted I am in favor of the pending measure.
