TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2& 1920. ! 5 ' V I,1 crfc : 'IT ' ,l A -I r ' Wilsbn's Action On Jones Bill May Split Party Refusal of President to Abro gate Shipping Treaties In jects New Issue Into Na tional Campaign. By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. Chiracs Trlbuna-Omafea Ba Leased Wire. .Washington, Sept." 27. President Wilson's refusal to execute that por tion of the shipping act directing him to abrogate treaties prohibiting discriminatory tariff and tonnage dues in order to build up the Amer ican merchant marine through low ered rates on goods carried in Amer ican bottoms, has plumped a new is sue into the election campaign. ,t - The issue Is one that bids fair to divide the democratic party, for the democratic members of both houses of congress overwhelmingly favored the provision, which was incorpo rated in the act despita the protests of the State department. How the president could be com pelled to carry out the will of con gress expressed hi an act which be came effective b..- his signature, is the question now being pondered by those who contend that the abroga tion of the conflicting treaties and the imposition of discriminatory rates is the surest way of preventing the ''decline of the new American 'merchant marine and of promoting its further development. In view tjj of the approaching end of the Wil (51. on regime, the suggestion of im ; peachment of" the president is not p:' seriously entertained in responsible H' quarters, but how the question raised ." by the refusal of the executive to execute tne law couia be settled short of imneachment is not clear. The president takes the positionS tht congress exceeded its authority in instructing him to abrogate the treaties, because congress possesses no authority to- direct foreign poU icy that he is lequired to respect. Congress, however, has exercised this authority and for the first time a president has declined to execute the law containing such direction. President PoIk, at the direction of congress, gave notice of the abroga tion of the treat of August 6, 1827, with Great Britain; President Pierce at the direction of the senate, abro gated the treaty of, April 26, 1826, with Denmark; the convention of Jthje 5, 1854, with Great Britain, and the treaty of July 17, 1858, and cer tain articles of he Anglo-American treaty of May 8, 1871, were also terminated by the president at the direction of congress. President Wihon, himself, has no tified foreign governments of the abrogation of treaties in conflict with legislation ut congressional di rection identica. with that of the shipping' act, which he refuses to execute. He way directed by the La follette seamen's act to abrogate sections of treaties conflicting with its provisions He, executed the di rection, without questioning the au- thprity of congress, the explanation . being that he approved the policy in tiat ease, while he disapproves the f policy laid down by the 'shipping T-'i ct, although l e signed the latter :he directions of congress as to for sign affairs are purely discretionary with the executive. 'Accept Abrogation. Belgium. China and Greece ac cepted abrogation of the specific sec tions conflicting with the seamen's ,ct, with the understanding that the other provisions remained m force. 'It-' Bolivia, Denmark, France, Great ; Britain, Italy and Norway accepted ? abrogation of the sections without indicating position as to the remain f" d,er of the treaty. Later France de nounced the entire treaty. Holland, :v Sweden and Spain refused to ac 2 quiesce and the president notified them of the abrogation of the , treaties Spain has asked withdrawal ! of. the notice, desiring the ' ac quiescence now. Colombia and Rou f "rniftia never replied to; the original representations." ' When the shipping bill was before the senate Senator Lodge said the American merchant marine was built i p originally by discriminating duties . ,r until it carried 90 per cent of goods f'i- imported. The Anglo-American 5 treaty of 1815 prohibftmg such dis criminations signalized the begin & i.1 ring of the decline of American ship fl ping, he said. T o ' Senator Jones, author of the bill, t asserted that no retaliatory trade . JVV war with other nations was desired or anticicpated, but that we are better prepared than ever before to with V." stand retaliation and that the' na vt tion will be at a great disadvantage Lv in world competition until it "strikes S i,, off the shackles" of these treaties. ' .He cited the report of the tariff :r; commission that Great Britain, tjt-. France and other nations are abro gating commercial treaties with ti many countries in order to achieve J- greater advantages in foreign trade. , Senator Jones said tne Mate de partment was afraid the provision .i'woulc? cause an dftejise to Great Britain and these other countries," but the democrats joined the republi cans incorporating the section in the oill. t. .

Lav Department at Omaha University Is Gaining Favor j s The law department of the Univer sity of Omaha opened lpst week with an increase in enrollment of 50 per cent over last year. This growth, according to Arthur ,C. Thomsen, secretary of the school, can be at tributed to the general realization of the need of legal training in business by many young men.: "As a young man said, to me the other day," continued Mr. Thomsen, "a fellow hardly realizes what an education means until he is about 30 years old, and then erroneously con siders himself too bid to learn; whereas a mature mind can grasp the legal essentials much quicker than the mind of a yuth. Although 1 am a university graduate, I real ized" in the last few years that much of my training had been directed in the wrong channels- for the work which I am now doing, hence I am studying law." The law school of the University of Omaha gives a four-year course leading to the degree of bachelor of law. Classes meet downtown four evenings each week at a convenient time for most people who are work ing. Registration for beginners can be made any time up until the middle of October.
