RETALIATORY MEASURES OF REVENUE
BILL MAY CAUSE ENTENTE PROTEST
International News Service.
WASHINGTON, Sept. G.—In the
opinion of the many officials, the pros
pects are exceedingly good for friction
with the entente powers over the pro
visions t.f the emergency revenue bill
allowing the president to employ the
army and navy for purposes of re
taliation against the Ilritish blacklist
of American firms.
All of the leading officials admit
that the passage of the measure is
sure to draw a decided protest from
the entente powers hut decline to ex
press an opinion as to the possible out
come of the passage of provisions so
manifestly hostile in intent.
It is said, however, that the retalia
tory clauses have the full sanction of
President Wilson and Secretary Lans
ing and are also approved by a large
portion of both the upper and lower
houses of congress.
The house and senate conference
committees commenced the discussion
of the hill today and its final present
ion is expected within a day or two
at most.
