' FRENCH ‘BLACKLIST ONTTS WAYTO U, S, Ambassador Sharp Sending List of Firms Barred Irom Trade Washington, Aug. 9.—A cabled re- | port summarizing the recent “black- | list” order of the French government supplementing and practically dup- licating Great Britain’s commercial embargo against American and other firms under the the enemy decree, has been received at department from Ambassa- dor Sharp at Paris. The list of Amer- ican firms affected by the order was not forwarded by the ambassador, but press reports from abroad stated it does not greatly enlarge the Brit- ish “blacklist.”” Ambassador Sharp is sending the | full French blacklist order by mail | and, officials stated today, action by this government would await its re- ceipt, with a protest similar to that made to Great Britain in prospect. Naval Opposition Less. Effective opposition in the house to the senate big naval building pro- gram, including four dreadnoughts and four battle cruisers for 1917, has glven way before administration pressure, those favoring the more extensive plan believed today. The test will come next Tuesday, when the house votes on senate amend- ments. 3 Chairman Padgett of the house naval committee, has decided to with- draw his opposition to the senate’ naval increases, Majority Leader Ki chin announced yesterday after Mr. Padgett had discussed the subject with President Wilson. Senator | Swanson, ranking democrat of the senate naval committee, declared a canvass of the situation removed all doubt that the house would accede to the large building program, the three years continuing policy and the increased personel provision. The house was expected to adopt today the conference committee’'s re- port on the army appropriation bill and the measure then will go to the president. The senate approved the report yesterday.
