AMERICAN
TRADE THREATENED
Agreement Loses It's Advantages
After New Pact with
Britain.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
MADRIn Spain, May 3.--American
trade with Spain is threatened.
The modus vivendi under which the
United States enjoys the most favored
nation treatment, in force since 1925,
virtually lost most of it's advantages
recently, when Spain concluded a new
trade pact with Great Britain and
also modified the commercial treaties
with several other countries.
The crux Of the whole situation,
however, is that since the present
modus vivendi is only provisional. per-
mitting of notification by either side,
provided three months notice is
given, a new treaty between Spain
and the United States would not con-
tain any such favorable treatment ac-
corded to American trade by Spain
under the present agreement. Spain,
1t is said in official quarters, cannot
and will not concede tariff rebates of
the second column of the Spanish
customs tariff.
The Spanish Foreign Office informed
the Associated Press correspondent
that the modus vivendi still is in
force and will remain in force unless
abrogated.
Special dispatches from Barcelona
record q meeting of the American
Chamber of Commerce there at which
the serious situation created was con-
sidered. It was revealed that Ameri-
can importers already were paying
higher customs duties than nations
having permanent commercial treaties
with Spain. The rise in some cases
is as high as 25 per cent, and on auto
mobiles double that paid previously.
Umbrage was taken because the
United States so far has taken no ac-
ton in Spanish imports.

CALCUTTA, India, May 8 P.--
Good roads are making the warlike
Mahsuls, who inhabit Wazaristan, on
the northwest Indian frontier, law

The Indian government has con-

their territory. The Mahsuds discov-
cred that the roads not only lead into
their country, but also lead out OF it,
and many are taking the opportunity
OF visiting the neighboring districts.
Previously their visits to these parts
had been mostly confined to flying
raids by night. The building of the
roads enabled many of the natives
