NEW SEAMEN'S LAW
CHANGES TREATIES
U. S. Compelled to Ask to Be
Allowed to Strike Out Ger
tain Provisions.

This Government has notified twenty
one of the leading nations of the world
that II intends to terminate provisions
of existing treaties which are in con-
fiict with the seamen's law, enacted at
the last session of Congress.
Notice has been given as required by
law through the American embassies
and legations just within the ninety
day periods prescribed when the act
was approved.
1t remains to be seen whether the
nations concerned will consent to the
examinations of certain provisions in
the treaties in question II not, then the
entire scope Of the treaties will have
to be cancelled. This would lead to an
embarrassing situation. as the treaties
involved cover a wide field of general
commercial relations.
