The Panama Canal Tolls Act of 1912 had previously excused America from paying tolls on coast wise Britain. This Act was repealed in 1914 under the Wilson presidency.

The Jones Act of 1916 was signed under the Wilson presidency as well, it promised to give the Philippines their full independence when they had reached a position of stable government.
