WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-E,irope's
chanceIlories are deeply concerned
over the drastic enactments contain
ed in the administration shipping
bill. and in the revenue measure ap-
proved by the senate early today,
placing retaliatory weapons in the
hands of Pres't Wilson. Through
their diplomatic representatives here
they are following closely this legis-
lation. which will permit Pres't
Wilson to substitute for passive dip
lOmacy a policy of reprisal against
all nations discriminating against
American trade. The action of this
government is revolutionary and en-
tirdly unexpected. 1t permits the
president to back up steamship
mails and boycott demands in a way
that WI prove distinctly embarrass-
ing to the entente allies.
While unofficial suggestions have
been made by certain of the en-
bassies that these provisions violate
existing trade agreements. they have
not been received with any degree
of warmth at the state department.
1t has been pointed out that the
powers given the president under the
proposed laws are in every way dis
cretionary. He can utilize them If
the necessity arises, but they can be
put into effect in a manner recog-
nized by International law.
The fact that these amendments
have been fathered by Sens. James,
Thomas and Phelan, thick and thin
supporters of the administration, is
accepted as indicating that they have
the approval of the president and
Sec'y of State Lansing. IL has been
known for some time that the delay
on the part of Great Britain and
France in giving relief TO the pro-
test against the unnecessary deten-
ton and rifiing of American mails
TO and from this country has been a
source of irritation TO the state de-
partment But there was nothing
that this country could do under the
circumstances.
But if the provisions read into the
revenue bill remain UNCHANGED. and
officials expect that they Will, then
the administration can enforce a re-
ply that will be satisfactory 10 IL
and end the intolera bic interference
with mails that are in no way subject
TO the operations of warfare.
