DEMOCRATIC TARIFF AND THE MERCHANT
MARINE


1~HAT the subsection Of the Underwood Tariff law
providing for discount OF FIVE per cent. on all
goods imported on American vessels is null and void
the opinion OF Attorney General McReynolds Il is
far from pleasing to importers who have been using
American bottoms for the transportation of their
imports and also those who had been hopeful that
such a provision would result in the building of
stronger American merchant marine. The Attorney
General says that subsection is nufed by the fol-
lowing proviso in it: Nothing in this subsection
shall be so construed as abrogate in any man
ner impair or affect provisions Of any treaty
cluded between the United States and foreign ma
tions"
The formal opinion is in line with instructions
given to the collectors Of customs October by
Secretary the Treasury McAdoo. Importers who in
that they should have the benefit Of that Eve
cent will be compelled to pay it or to protest and
carry their fight to the Court OF Customs Appeals.
The point made by the Attorney General, and he is
emphatic in its declaration, is that the stpulatons OF
existing treaties between the United States and var-
Gus other Powers is such that the proposed differ
entail duty be granted without mpairns them.
It would seem, therefore that until treaties have
been negotiated there will be special indictment
for American ships aud that merchant marine is
to receive special advantages through the opera
lions of the Underwood law

in an opinion relative the powers of the national
