SEA SAFETY RATIFICATION
Senate's Action in Adding Clause to
Resolution of Acceptance May
Defer Exchange.


Difficulty in exchanging notifications
Of the International convention for
safety at sea is expected in official
circles as result of the action of the
Senate in adding to its resolution of
ratification clause reservins the right
of the United States to impose higher
standards than those prescribed by
the treaty for health and safety aboard
American ships and vessels plying in
American waters.
The exchange OF notifications must
take place in London before the end of
this month, and il was said today il
would be "a practical impossibility to
consult the other governments involv
cd in the short period Of time inter
