In spite of tie bolsheviki victories the
military experts of the Anglo French

optimistic because of remarkable stiffen-

SHIPPING ACT
TREATY CLAUSE
BLOCKS HASTE
State Department Can
Not Pass on Score of
Commercial Pacts in
90 Day Limit Set.
Fear That Some Nations
Affected Will Take Re-
taliatory Action Rather
Than Allow Duties.

Washington. Aug 1--(By the Associ-
ated Press. l-The task of studying the
more than a score Of commercial treat
les which must be amended or cancelled
under the recently enacted Jones ship
ping act. has been found so formidable
BY the state department that the belief
was expressed by department officials
Saturday that it would be impossible to
complete the work by September 3, the
expiration of the 80 dsy period permit
ted by the act.
In addition to ascertanlng the extent
to which existing treaties must be amend-
ed in order to reclaim for congress the
right to enact legislation imposing dis
eliminating duties and charges in favor
of American shipping the state depart
nent will find it necessary to enter into
more or less extensive correspondence
with the foreign governmen ents affected
to develop their views and learn whether
they are willing to make the changes
desired.
Correspondence Takes Time.
This will be a time consuming task. as
much Of the negotiations must De done
by mail Involving many weeks for each
exchange of notes Therefore. it is
probable that recourse must be had to
the plan of dating back any action that
the gpvernme ent must take when 1t APP
pears that the action could not be taken
within the legal period of 10 days after
the signature of shipping act.
The attempt win be made to obtain
amendments of the existing commercial
treaties in the spirit Of the shipping act
rather than to resort to remuneration
of whole treaties for in that way 1t Will
be possible TO avoid the automatic appi-
cation Of the 5 per cent differential
duties act which it has been found.
Nations May Not Agree.
But there Is grave doubt among of
ficials as TO the acceptance of such pro-
ceedure by some of the more lmpor-
tant foreign governments, which may
prefer to adopt retaliatory measures
rather than submit to the imposition Of
discriminatory duties on their products
imported into America.
Thus far, while there have been many
injuries from embassies and legations
in Washington as to the disposition Of
the state department, there have been
no formal exchanges and consequently
no threats Of retaliation
The foreign press. however, has
abounded with protests against the shlp
ping act, while foreign chambers U
commerce and other commercial agen-
cies, such as steamship companies, have
not hesitated to express publicly their
disapproyai of the act and declare their
intention of meeting any attempt at
discrimination against their commerce
and shipping lines with retaliation meas
ures.
