>ALMElt TO DECIDE ON
TRADING WITH GERM VN1
Villi Treaty Itutilied l?y (>e riiium
Question of Trade With ll?ms
Arises.
Washington, uly 14.--While rati
Ication of the poaco treaty i>y th
iermati national assembly at Weinia
uakes possible the raising of th
ilockade of Germany, it will be fo
attorney General Palmer to deter
nine what extent eonimereial tela
ions between the United States am
lermany may be resumed. Shouh
he allied and associated power
igreo to lift the blockade, Attorne;
eneral Palmer will have to render ii
ome more formal shape than he ha
ilready indicated in Informal state
nents an opinion as to whether pro
isions of the trading with the enem
ict can be suspended or abrogated h
>xecutlve order in advance of th
drmah termination of the wa
hrough final exchange of ratifieatio
if the peace treaty.
The attorney general in informn
itatements has declared the tradin
vith the enemy act must continue i
orce until the date of the proolama
ion of exchange of peace treaties, un
ess the president declares any earlie
late. Mr. Palmer has said, howevei
hat the earlier date may not be s?
>efore the end of the war throug
xchange of ratification.
However, the state department
ealizing the importance of givin
Vmerican business interests an advar
ageous position in the race for Gei
imn trade, has made arrangements t
lave the American consular service i
lermany begin to function at th
earliest possible moment. While
number of the former American coi
nils assigned to Yiosts in Cm nuinv an
Austria-Hungary are now either i
America or have l>een in other cour
tries, a sufficient number are In Ei
ope at points near enough to adml
it their quick transfer to the princ
pal German ports. Though America
goods can he exported to German
without the assistance of America
consuls, under American custom
laws the consul certification is necei
saiy to the exportation of Germa
goods to America and not a shiploa
ran start westward until the consi
has passed upon the invoices.
In the opinion of officials here th
German blockade will he lifted a
toon as the proper arrangements ca
he made. It is believed that th;
mans that there first must be r?
mivod by the secretariat of the pear
onference in Paris notice of the at
lion taken today by the German a;
tetnbly; that this notice must be set
to the various governments which ii
diluted the blockade and that itj th
ase of the United States. Presider
Wilson must issue his proclamatio
let taring the blockade at an end.
The action of the president is sai
0 be in no sense dependent upon th
irealtnent of the peace treaty by th
United States senate for the reaso
hat the blockade was established a
1 purely military measure and coul
lie lifted by the military authentic
iven before <he termination of th
war in their discretion.
