British objections to the enforcement of the H new American merchant marine bill J which Premier Lloyd George indicated IJ J yesterday as likely to be the subject of formal representations to the state -department, are understood to be H based principally upon two sections of H tho measure. The first prohibits the carrying of merchandise In other than American H ships between American ports via a H foreign port. This would stop freight H carriage between the United States and Alaska over Canadian railroad lines or in Canadian ships, which has grown into a business of magnitude. i The other section directs the presl-dent presl-dent to tcrmlnato all treaties which restrict the right of tho United States to Impose discriminatory duties upon foreign shipping entering American ports. |
