WASHINGTON NEWS -
GOSSIP y CHARLES BROOKS s1zz:

8 WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. g.
IL will be Of interest to West Virgin.
Sans to note that one Of the drastic
amendments to the revenue bill as
passed by the Senate this week,
some Of the diplomatic representa-
sdyes Of the allies was the same in
substance and practically the same In
t40rm as the joint resolution in the
House submitted by Congressman
Sutherland as an amendment to the
4hipptng bill. Congressman Suther-
land was one Of the first members of
Congress to make serious study of
the foreign mail problem and spent
lmuch time and labor in looking up
the matter before introducing his
resolution. It was discussed In the
committee Of the House and received
very favorable attention, but was not
4nclnded in the shipping bill as sub
mttted for fear Of causing fresh ar
ggument which might defeat the pas.
sage of the bill. However when the
I revenue bill passed the Senate It car
fied almost the exact Sutherland
amendment, authorizing the Presi.
dent, during o war in which the Unit
ed States 10 not engaged, to withhold
clearance from all vessels which dis.
criminate against American shippers;
TO withhold privileges from such ma
tons as withhold privileges accord.
ing TO other nations from American
ships. and to use the army and navy
81 necessary to prevent departure OF
offending vessels from United States
ports. It is said that in allied quar-.
tara In the Capital the enactments of
the law as passed would have serious
and farreaching consequences. But,
until the retaliatory amendments be-
come q law with the Presidents sig.
nsture the allies have practically
nothing to protest about. This par
ticular amendment is considered of
such importance that the whole range
OF Americas foreign commerce is or
may be affected by It. No more
sweeping legislation, It Is said, has
ever been passed by Congress In
tmes Of peace.
