Formal announcement vat made today by the state department that President Wilson had de elded not to carry out the instruction from congress to annul existing treaties between the United Stales and foreign countries by which the United States is prevented from granting special Import tariffs and transportation rates on 1m ports carried In American bottoms The announcement said the president had reached his decision before the ex ptratton on September S of the ninety-da- y period in which the merchant marine directed that he take atepa to abrogate the treaties. It also was stated that the president had not consulted any foreign governments regarding the mat ter. The statement given out by the state department follows: Congress Lacks Power. "The department of state has been informed by the president that he does not deem the direction, contained in section thirty-fou- r merchant rra of the rlne act, an exercise of any constitution ai power possessed by the congress. Tinder the provisions of the section refered to, the president was directed within ninety days after the act became law to notify the several governments with whom the United States had entered Into commercial treaties, that this cotin try elected to terminate so much of said treaties as restricted the right of the United States to Impose discriminating customs duties on imports and discriminatory tonnage dues, according as the carrier vessels were domestic or foreign, quite regardless of the fact that these restrictions are mutual, operating equally upon the other governments which are to the treaties, and quite regard parties less also of the further fact that the treaties contain no provisions for their termination in the manner contemplated by congress. Would Violate Treaties. "The president, therefore, considers it misleading to speak of the 'termination' of the restrictive clauses of such treaties. The action sought to be Imposed upon the executive would amount to nothing less than the breach or violation of said In numtreaties, whfch are thirty-tw- o ber and cover every point of contact and mutual dependence which constitute the modern relations between friendly states. Such a course would be wholly irreconcilable with the historical respeot which the United States has shown for its in ternatlonal engagements and would sify every profession of our belief In thenf fores and the reciprocal obligetlon of treaties In general. Secretary Colby, commenting on the point made by the president, that con gross had exceeded its powers, called t tentlon to the veto by President Hayes of an act passed by congress In 1879. which required the president to give notice to China of the abrogation or articles five and six Of the Burlingame treaty. President Hayes declares that the power of making new treaties or of modifying sxlstlng treaties Is not lodged by the con-- g stltutlon in congress, but in the presi-dent and by and with ths advice and convent of congress, as shown by the con- of that body.' On rurrence of this subject, as well as ths effect of an attempted partial abrogation of a treaty, as contemplated by the recent act. the words of President Hayes are significant. Jj two-thir- gg He eaid: Denunciation Voids Document. ' As ths power of modifying an ex- isting treaty, whether by adding or strik-- i lng out provisions, is a part of the treaty- making power under the constitution, its Is not competent for congress 3 exercise nor would ths consent of China to this the treaty make partial abrogation of In thus procuring the action of congress m an amendment of a treaty a competent exercise of authority under the consti- p tution. The importance, however, of this w special consideration seemed superseded of fg by the principle that a denunciation a part of a treaty, not made by the terms from the of itself the treaty separable jl at rest, U a denunciation of the whole treaty.

Thirty-nin- e nations,- including every great power except the United States, have entered the league of nations with a full understanding of every obligation assumed. Although the responsibilities of the covenant apply to them precisely as they do to us, opposition has been confined to a few perfectionists on one side and to small groups of irreclaimable Tories on the other.
