ORDER RESCINDED
WASHINGTON INSTRUCTIONS RE-ROUTING THREAT (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 10.52 a.m. MONTREAL, Friday. A later Washington message says that Mr. Irving Glover, second assistant Postmaster-General, announced that the order limiting the amount of mail to be carried by the three Cunard vessels has been rescinded. Mr. Glover telephoned to the New York postmaster and requested him to lift the embargo. Mr. Glover said that he issued the order as a temporary measure, because the Berengaria was late in arriving here and the other two ships are extremely slow vessels.
He renewed the charge that foreign countries are discriminating- against American ships in mail shipments; but he said the department was not planning at present any retaliatory measures. However, it was prepared to reroute it's entire foreign mail to give American,vessels a large share of the trade if European discrimination continued.
