About this book

A dispute over canal tolls brings treaty language into conflict with American shipping policy. L. Oppenheim examines British and American interpretations of the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty in this legal study. The argument centres on the Panama Canal Act of 1912, President Taft's accompanying memorandum, and the treaty's promise of equal treatment for vessels of all nations. Oppenheim challenges the claim that American ownership allows favourable terms for American shipping.

His analysis moves from the wording of treaties to the practical distribution of canal costs. Exempting American coasting vessels, he argues, places a greater share of those costs on other users. The contents also address neutrality, domestic law, and arbitration.
