Treaties Bother U3 Officials in Shipping Act Era
Washington reports that the State Department faces a heavy task amending or canceling over twenty commercial treaties under the Jones shipping act. Officials fear nine-tenths of the work cannot finish before September, prompting possible backdating of actions to avoid 6 percent duties. Foreign reaction ranges from retaliatory measures to treaty denunciation, with Japan threatening to reroute Pacific freight and Canada questioning rail penalties.

World events brief highlights from the era of trade and peril
Cotton exports rose above last year by over 1.5 million bales as commerce department figures reveal, while the nation’s top tax intake for the year reached 5.41 billion dollars. Railroads seek fare hikes amid a $600 million wage award, and Brazil extends a 25 million dollar credit to Italy. Poland seeks U.S. support against Bolshevik Russia as America Cup defense ends with Reso ute beating Shamrock Ty. Tragic crashes and mine explosions claim several lives, and federal agents seize whisky on a Lang siding. A minister struck by lightning, a Chicago riots suspect nabbed, and railroads inch toward wage-increase approvals. An Indiana coal strike paralyzes mines, a Kansas City robbery yields $6,000, and aviators reach Saskatoon en route to Nome.
Problems Facing Stricken World in Bolshevik Debate
Frank Comerford argues Allied missteps toward Bolshevism fueled unrest after World War I. He traces Wilson’s Paris remarks, calls out the Allies for lack of a coherent Russia policy, and notes public sympathy for Russia’s "underdog" struggle while criticizing covert aid to counterrevolutionaries like Kolchak. The piece condemns intermeddling, misinformation, and failure to educate the public about Bolshevism.
