Favorable weather, the absence of

HARDING WILL
KILL TREATIES
Abrogation of 80 Commercial
Agreements on Shipping Ger
tain, Says Senator.

ADrogation of thirty-two CONNER
cial treaties which prevent develop
ment of the American Merchant Ma
rine and the appointment Of an en-
tirelN new Shipping Board will be
among the very first acts of the new
Administration, according to state
ment made by Senator Wesley Jones
of Washington.
NEW BOARD CERTAIN.
"President-eIect Harding is keenly
sttuned to our maritime needs and IN
hearty sympathy with an American
Merchant Marine" said Senator
Jones, who Is the author OF the pres
ent Shipping Bill. ale will carry out
tho solemn direction OF the law re-
gardinG treaty abrogations.
He will use great care in selecting
men to hll the Shipping Board mem
berships and will align himself with
policies and measures to promote and
give permancncy to Il commercial fleet
in keeping with our important world
position.
Long ago the membership OF the
board was reduced by designations
to but two men. Naming OF the fun
complement by the President and
proper distribution of the work would
nave permitted great conStfuCtlN"
strides in the upbuiiding OF our COM
mcrcial marine. June. July, August,
September and October came and
went without the memberships being
filled. The effect is obvious and de-
piorablc.
DENIED REAL BENEFITS.
"Pointblank refusal was made To
the duty imposed by law on the Pres
!dept TO abrogate the commercial
treaties which preclude as from i'm
posing discriminating customs duties
on imports in American vessels aS
against foreign vessels.
Without an adequate membership on
the board some Of the provisions or
the act cannot be carried into effect
We are denied the opportunity TO feel
the real benefit OF the act and our
marine interests suffer. Yet our com
petitors are enabled to spread propa-
ganda and to do all possible to dis
courage us and to discredit our great
Merchant Marine Act"
