GOVERNMENTS TO CONFER AI3J L STING COMM ERCIA I, RELATIONS iMITISII OtTILIAI. IVUEUaS.) (Received December 28, 7.5 p.m.) RUGBY, December 27. The French and British Governments have agreed that conversations shall be initiated as soon as possible with the object of adjusting commercial relations between the two countries. These conversations have been made possible by the decision of the French Government to suppress, as from January 1, the exchange surtax of 15 per cent, ad valorem hitherto levied on British goods on importation into France. A bill authorising the reduction of the turnover tax to 2 per cent, has already been laid before the French Parliament and the French Government has assured his Majesty's Government that it will press on with the measure.
