WASHINGTON, d. c. May 2I.-The
United States Treasury, already fac
ing a heavy deficit at the end OF the
fiscal year. is today subject to an ad-
ditionaI drain Of from $l5,00O,900 TO
SEQ. 0C0. 400 under a decision announced
BY the Court OF Customs Appeals up
holding the IS per cent clause" Of the
Underwood tariff law.
This clause gave to imports re-
ceived in american bottoms a prefer
entail duty discount Of 5 per cent
The Court OF Customs Appeals not

5 per cent rebate shall be accorded
shipments received in the ships OF ma

has favored nation" treaties.
As these favored nation treaties
exist between the United states aaJ

tries of the world the decision, II up
held by the Supreme Court Of the

The case will go to the Supreme

tent that all shipments, coming with

In addition, the decision will apply

however, no European war. with its
consequent diminishing of the customs
duties of the United states, was con-
templated, and the Treasury was in
a healthy condition. .'
The principal plea before the court
by American ship owners was that the
favored nation treaties were in fact
imperative. The majority decision Of
the Custom Court says on this point:
by no department OF the Govern
ment have these provisions ever been
repudiated or denounced as unconsti-
tutional or denied force and effect as
