SENATE HITS BOYCOTT
in DRASTIC MEASURE
Empowers President to Use Navy
Against Offending Vessels.

LEGISLATION of the most drastic charac-
ter, that will permit of retaliation anu
reprisals against the allies and effectual-
ly stop the British blacklist policy was
written into the general revenue bill by
the Senate yesterday afternoon.
An amendment proposed by Senator
Thomas, of Colorado, and adopted With
out dissent, empowers the President TO
refuse clearance papers to any belliger-
ent merchantmen that refuses American
goods unless, and only, because OF lack
of cargo space. An attempt TO sail with
out clearance is made punishable by
heavy fine and Imprisonment of two
years. The ship may be seized by the
government
prepared with the approval Of the State
Department. This admission Is especially
significant in view of the provision that
the President Is hereby authorized ana
empowered to employ such part OF the
naval forces of the United States as
shall be necessary to carry out the pur-
pose of this act"
The application Of this power to use
naval vessels in enforcing the act would
mean the virtual blockading Of our own
coasts by our own warships to prevent
the escape of the allied ships that had
been refused clearance papers.
The Thomas amendment is admittedly
an emergency measure. Nobody attempt
ed to conceal the fate that it was aimed
at the acts of the British government
The Senate has been informed that every
diplomatic effort of this government to
bring about relief for American citizens
subjected to the blacklist proved futile.
The approval of the State Department
is accepted as proof of a determination
on the part OF the administration, to be-
gin an aggressive policy to protect the
rights of American and other neutral
commerce
