90-Day Period For Giving Notice
of Revocation of Certain
Clauses Expire.
NOT TO REVEAL ACTION
Fight on Merchant Marine Act Pro-
vision Charged to Foreign Inter-
est Who Seek to ThWart the
u. S. in it's Policy.

Washington-Expira of the 90
day period allowed the President by
the new merchant marine act to give
notice of the intention of the United
States to revoke certain clauses of
commercial treaties brought no Off
cial announcement from the executive
department of the government.
State department officials whose
study of commercial treaties to which
the United States is signatory has
revealed that about rs such pacts con-
travened the merchant marine act, de-
clined to say whether any decision had
been reached or any action taken. In
timation came from one high official,
however, that the matter had gone to
the White House.
Clauses To Be Revoked.
Clauses of existing treaties which
must be revoked are those which, in
the words of the act, restrict the
right of the United States to impose
discriminating customs duties or i'm
ports entering the United States in
foreign vessels and in vessels of the
United States and which also restrict
the right of the United States to i'm
pose discriminatory tonnage dues on
foreign vessels and on vessels of the
United States entering the United
States"
Speculation has been widespread as
to the effect of notices to other nations
of this governments intention to re-
woke such clauses. Officials have ex-
pressed almost general belief that the
revocation Of the clauses will lead to
abrogation of the entire treaties. Many
of the treaties cannot be abrogated,
except on years notice, and this, in
the opinion of some officials, will per.
NIT remedial legislation before the
pacts' expiration, if it really was the
intention Of Congress to take such a
radical" step as some officials be-
lieve.
Secretary of Commerce Alexander
expressed the view that American for
eign trade would have nothing to fear,
even should the President give the
revocation notices. Opposition to this
section of the act, as we'll as to the
entire merchant marine law, he said,
comes from foreign interests who seek
to thwart the United States in it's pol
icy of developing a permanent mer-
chant marine ha @
Until recently 80 per cent of our
commerce was carried in foreign bot
TOMS" he added "Other nations fur
nished the delivery wagons for our
commerce and the bill was about
$500. 100000 year. They do not wish
to see us transport our goods in our
own ships and are opposing even a
merchant marine capable of carrying
half OF our commerce" ~

There 81 is something delightfully."-
romantic in the mere sound of the
words pieces of eight" and they take
us back to our boyhood days, with
their memories of treasure troye and
the Spanish Main. Last month, those
who have always believed in the pos
sibility of recovering treasure from
some of the Spanish galleons which
were sunk off the Scottish coast after
the Armada, have had their appetites
whett IL For some divers off the coast
of Null, near Tobermory. have brought
up sheets of silver and some Spanish
silver coins, which. on being treated
with acid. proved to be pieces of
eight" An American collector has
offered large sum of money for any
old silver recovered in good preser-
walton, and is specially anxious to OBJ
tain any of the plate used by the
Spanish priests on board in celebrat-
ing mass. Let US wish all possible
luck to the treasure seekers, but we
trust that their finds may become the
property of the nation.
