SHARP CONFLICT
WITH THE ALLIES
EXPECTED THEY WILL ENACT A
COUNTER RETALIAToRY.
U. S. GOING IN With EYES OPEN
Course Decided Upon Is Legislation
That Hits Back at Every Dis
elimination Against American
Trade by the Entente.

Washington, Sept. GA sharp dip
lomatic conflict between the allies
and the United States is expected to
follow the retaliatory measure incor-
porated by the revenue bill passed
by the senate last night.
With the agreement to the amend
ment by the house conference COM
mittee, it is thought 1the allies, led by
Great Britain, may make a counter
retaliatory measure. 1t is the be-
lief of many officials that the con-
fiict will be strictly commercial.
1t is said on the other hand the
United States government Is going in
to the fight with eyes open and pre-
pared to see it through. The course
decided upon is legislation that hits
back at every discrimination against
American commerce, but the state
department and other departments
are prepared for the consequences.
1t is hoped by administration officials
that the drafting of the legislation
enacted may put an end to the black
list of the British governments dis
ordinations against American com
merce and interference of American
! mails.
This country holds the upper hand
and is better able to Withstand the
! condition of non-interCourse.
Until the retaliatory amendments
become law with the presidents
signature the allies technically have
nothing to protest about, but there
are assurances that representations
will be made If the amendments stay

by Japan as a result of the recent

the two nations at Cheng Uhiatun in
