Ten Countries Agree BRITISH NEGOTIATIONS London, December 3. lu tbo House of Commons, the President of the Board of Trade, Mr. W. Graham, told a questioner that a tariff Truce Convention had beeu signed by Britain, Belgium, Denmark, Finland. Italy. Latvia, Luxembourg, Norway. Sweden, and Switzerland. Sir Philip Cuiiliffc-Llster (Conservative) asked : “Is it true that no country is willing generally to discuss tariffs, and that only bi-lateral negotiations are available for a truce, thus giving away our only weapon?” Mr. Graham replied that the ques tlon did not quite represent the position. Without the efforts connected with the Convention, tariffs would have been higher than they are now.
