New Marine Act May Abrogate Treaties

Gals express the belief that entire alb
rogation Of the treaties woaid result
from the notice of the president, as it
is not thought that other nations win
consent to the amendment of treaties
in order to enable the United States to
discriminate against their own COM
merce and shipping.
Although considerable doubt exists
as to the precise interest of congress
as expressed in the merchant mapine
act on account Of the radical conse-
quences which must result in the
strict carrying out of section "a, there
are ten treaties which are considered
as specifically falling within the pro-
visions of the statute which probably
will have to be abrogated.~
Although the state department has
not made public the list of affected
