FAVOURED NATION FARCE.
Germany's Injurious Tariff.
Press Association— Copyright. Received June 1, 1010 p.m. London, Yesterday.
Lord Lanßdowne, in reply to agues tion, said the new German tariff was undoubtedly even more injurious to British trade than the last, even though mitigated by the favoured nation treatment. Britain's draft troafcy waa not accepted, .mainly because Britain insisted on the colonies' right to frame special arrangements between thetnsalveß and the Motherland without extending advantages to foreigners. It was unsatisfactory that British commercial interests should depend upon tho crumbs allowed to fall from negotiations between other Powers and Germany. Since Britain treated German imports with extreme generosity, there ought to be some return, but so far there was nothing.
