international News Service:
WASHINGTON, July 11.-SeriOus
concern is growing in administration
circles over the new certain assaults
10 be made upon American trade
supremacy when the European war
ends. Much Of the alarm is due TO
the study of the reports made by
the American embassy in Paris in
recent conference of the representa-
tives of the entente powers.
The fact that they adopted pro-
gram of offense and defense along
trade lines indicates, officials say,
that after the war they will try TO
extend their boycott TO neutral ma
tions i'm order that their own trade
may recover from the effects of the
great conflict.
Teutons Also Factors.
Ii will not alone be the entente
powers that must be reckOned with.
Naturally. officials say, the Teutonic
powers do not intend to quietly sub
nit 20 any general boycott As a
result the economic pressure will be
extreme and the United States must
be in a position TO compete with
reduced prices and cut rates along
all lines of production. Fortunate
", officials say, this country's finan-
cial reserve will be SO vast that it
will have a material advantage at
all times
Sens. Stone and Lodge agreed, IN
their speeches in the senate yester-
day. that the situation is one that
demands the greatest care in shap-
ing a future policy. 1t has been de-
oided by the senate committee on
foreign relations that it will care
fully examine all of the data sub
mitted by the state department
through the president yesterday and
try 10 decide on non-partisan rem
cdial legislation.
Three Investigations.
This will make three separate in
vestigations along this line in prog
ress as follows:
BY Sec'y of Commerce Redfeld
and the division of domestic and
foreign commerce.
BY the federal trade commission.
BY the senate foreign relations
committee.
Up TO the present no data is avail
able as TO the effect the proposed
commercial agreement among the
entente allies will have upon the
trade Of neutral nations. This Is
the information that the senate
committee is most anxious 10 get,
