'TROUBLES’ TALKED
SUBJECT OF LONG CONSULTA
TION BETWEEN PRESIDENT
CABINET
FULL REPORT ON SITUATION
Whole Uuestion Of Rehabilitating Car
rier Industries Considered In Its Do
mestic and International Aspects
Washington.—The troubled fortunes
of the American merchant marine
were the subject of a long consultation
recently between President Harding
and his cabinet.
The whole question of rehabilita
ting thdt merchant carrier industries
was considered in all of its domestic
and international aspects, but there
was no indication that the disesnsion
reached a point of definite decision as
to policy. Whether new legislation
will be sought or new trade agree
ments with foregn countries consum
mated remained uncertain.
An exhaustive report by Chairman
Hasker of the shipping board, cover
ing particularly the Important sections
of the Jones shipping act is under
stood to have furnished much of the
material for the cabinet’s delibera
tions. The report has not been given
to the public, hut it is understood to
be devoted largely to a provision of
the law directing the president to
abrogate certian trade treaties which
conflict with the preferential author
ization of the new statute.
Administration officials have per
sistently declined to discuss the pos
sibility of such an abrogation, or even
to indicate the trend of their thoughts
on the subpect. It is manifest that the
question is being approached as a
part of the whole problem of the mer
chant marine and will be decided with
relation to the other factors in the
situation.
President Wilson when the law was
enacted during the last administration
declined to abrogate the treaties in
question, holding that by directing
him to do so congress had encroached
on the treaty making powers of the
executive.
Another portion of the Lasker re
port whic his said to have attracted
particular attention deals with a pro
vision of the law relative to rail pre
ferential within the United States.
The shipping board has collected
much information as to the operation
of this 'clause but what recommenda
tion it made on the subject has not
been revealed.

tention to the importance of near east
relief work was adopted. Raising a
fungi of $10,000,000 for superannuated

D. D., was elected to head the dele
