FIGHT PREDICTED
ON MARINE BILL
British Expected to Attack
Some of Provisions.

WASHINGTON, June II. - Interna-
tional negotiations, probably before The
Hague conference, will be demanded by
Great Britain before she accepts the
provisions of the Jones merchant ma
rine legislation, according to views of
shipping men and officials Of the state
department today.
Provisions of the law giving Amer
leans preference rates on shipments by
rail or water to American seaports will
be one of the principal subjects Of at
tack In the complaint, according to gov
eminent officials.
1t is pointed out that preference given
German shippers and shipping interests
within the country rather than any in
ternational advantage was the cause of
chant marine before the war
Shipping men and operators of the
new merchant marine lines contend that
Great Britain can have no valid COM
plant against preference rights granted
citizens within the United States.
Another point upon which Great Brit
ain plans to protest is tho provision OF
law which abrogates treaties tnconsist-
emit with It's provisions.
The abrogation OF the treaties prac-
tically reyerses the merchant marine
policy Of the United States, government
officials admit, but such abrogation they
contend is perfectly regular and within
the nations rights.
The state department will defend every
provision Of the Jones act, according to
Secretary Colby. which tends to build
up the United States merchant marine.
Preference rights TO Americans pro-
vided for in the seaman's act and upheld
by the supreme court, also do not meet
with the favor OF the British and a
protest is looked for against the seamen's
law.
