TO ANNUL TREATIES
Congress Held to Have Ex
ceeded Authority in Order
' ing Abrogation. .
Washington. President Wilson has
declined to take steps toward termina
tion of certain commercial treaties as
directed by congress iu the merchant
marine act. holding that "such a
course would bs wholly Irreconcilable
with the historical respect which the
United States has shown for its Inter
national engagements."
Formal announcement of the presi
dent's decision was made at the stats
department The merchant marine
act as approved by the president on
the closing day of the last congress
session directed the executive within
90 days to give notice to foreign na
tions of the intentions of the United
States to terminate any sections ot
existing commercial treaties which re
strict the right of the American gov
ernment to Impose discriminatory
charges on shipping in foreign bot
toms. The president, the state depart
ment's announcement said, also held
that congress exceeded its authority
In giving such directions. Secretary
president, citing as a precedent the
Colby is quoted as supporting the
action of President Hayes in 1879 in
refusing the demand of congress that
a treat with China be abrogated. The
power of modifying treaties. President
Hayes held, is not lodged by the con
stitution In congress.
Termination of the 33 treaties, af
fected by the act, the president was
said to have held, "would amount to
nothing less than breach or violation
of said treaties, which . . . corer
every point of contact and arutual de
pendence which constitute the modern
relations between friendly states."
The announcement said that "to
have vetoed the act would have sac
rificed the great number of sound and
enlightened provisions which it un
doubtedly contains."
