§ SIR GEORGE BADEN-POWELLI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give any further information as to the abandonment of the clause in the War Revenue Bill before the Congress of the United States which imposes extra and heavy tonnage dues on vessels visiting American ports?
MR. CURZONNo further information, as to the abandonment of the clause in question has been received beyond that which I communicated to the House at its last sitting. The clause has, as I then stated, been expunged in the Bill as presented by the Senate Committee.
