WAHHINOTON. July II. Radical
revision downward of ocean frelaht
ratea has been agreed upon In prin
ciple by shipping commissioners dss-
ignatea By, President Wilson and the
British foreign office to reoresent the
governments of the United States and
ureat Britain.
Copies of a .proposed agreement,
under which the two governments
not only would make sweeping reduc
tions In present prohibitive rates but
virtually would take over the opera
tion of all allied merchantmen In the
Atlantic have been placed before the
atate department and the British for
eign office for approval.
All the allies, with the possible ex
ception of Japan, have algnlfled their
willingness to accept the program. In
the case of Japan. It la proposed to
have a Japanese merchant fleet of as
many ships aa possible placed In the
Trans-Atlantic trade to help render
Ineffective the submarine warfare.
The proposed agreement will be con
sidered when the Japanese mission,
headed by Vice Admiral Takeshita,
reaches the United States.
Neutral shipping, under the pro
posed agreement also would be forced
largely into channels designated bv
America and Great Britain. This
would be made possible bv the en
forcement of regulations denying to
neutral ships supplies of bunker roal
unless, the neutral ships agreed to
make at least a pflHon of their sail
ings between American and allied
ports.
With the program In effect the
United States and Great Britain
virtually would control the entire
world's shipping, prescribing reason
able rates, far lower than those on
some commodities now in effect The
proposal was entered Info to insure
the allies, so far aa poesible, that ship
would he forthcoming and that trans
portation charges would be reasonable
for carrying supplies from this coun
try to Europe during the continuance
of the war.
Negotiations were heeim at the In
stance of President Wilson. whoce
views concerning the unreasonable
ness ot present ocean freisht ratea
were outlined in his appeal July 11 to
tne nusiness Interests of the countrv
to put aside selfish considerations.

fenator Lewis ssld ha believed that
the speech was "peculiarly directed to

to continued use of tha U-boat to

"look like an offer of peace."
Senator Lewis said that hla idea,

LOXDON. July 23.-r-A threatened
general election was again averted
when the hffuse of commons tonight
by a three to one vote defeated the
Wardle amendment to the corn pro
duction bill, which the ministers had
announced their intention to treat as
a vote of confidence. ThiR was the
most critical amendment to the bill
and the government victory is regard
ed as insuring the safe passage of the.
measure despite the fact that it Is
heartily disliked by a large section
of parliamentarians and the public.
The strong sentiment against having
a general election during the war pre
dominated over the opposition to the
bill and ahowa that the government
played a strong hand when it decided
to treat the vote as one of confidence.
Today'a Jbate gave vidence of
dislike to the measure. Walter
Runclman and others strongly de
nounced the twenty-five shillings
minimum wage as miserably Inade
quate. Mr. Runclman reminded the
house that the soldier now getting
three good meat meals daily, would
not be satisfied on .returning to civil
life with tho scanty, almost meatless
fare procurable on such a wage.
They would desert to the towns and
leave the farmers In the lurch. The
government's position, as explained
by Sir Frederick E. Smith, the at
torney general, was that the govern
ment was being punished for fixing a
minimum which would prevent the
farm laborers from being exploited
and there was nothing in the bill to
prevent wage boards from giving a
higher wage where It was Justified.
