McREYNoLDs' OPINION ON PREF.
ERENTlAL FAVoRlNG YANKEE
BOATS OPENS BATTLE.
FWO COURSES FOR PRESIDENT
May Suspend Operation of Clause, a
Move Made Several Weeks Ago,
or Get Legislation to
Change Law.

Washington. attorney General Nc
Reynolds sent to Secretary McAdoO
his written opinion on the effect of
the per cent preferential on goods
brought to the United States in Amer
lean ships. promised in the new tariff
act.
Although the opinion was not made
public, it was generally understood
that Mr.. McReynolds did not differ
from the ideas Of the preferential
clause held by state and treasury de-
partment officials-thRt the discount
in American ships cannot be granted
unless the same concession is given
most of the nations of the world, who
figure in its commerce.
Treaty Rights Involved.
The opinion is said to be based
upon provision in the law that the
preferential clause shall not be taken
to impair the treaty rights of nations
having commercial pacts with the
United States.
With this condition confronting the
government, department officials con-
tend that this clause should not be
allowed to become operative, for its
enforcement practically would mean a
reduction Of tariff duties by per
cent all along the line.
Such a reduction would decrease
the estimated revenue from the new
tariff by millions of dollars and upset
the expected surplus from all reven-
ues for the next fiscal year, it was
said.
Two Courses Are Open.
Two courses, it was pointed out,
are open to President Wilson if he
desires to prevent enforcement of the
preferential clause.
He can continue to suspend its op.
eration-a move made by the treas.
ury department several weeks ago
or he can seek legislation in congress
to change the law.
Continued suspension would send
the matter to the courts for a final
Interpretation. This course, many
officials believe, is the one most likely
to be pursued

Observation-Disclosures the past fiscal
year 1886 predatory animals were

bodies were not found, are presumed
to have died of poison.

figures, was made up OF 206 bears,
