Berlin correspondent says there is an overwhelming mass of political and economic opinion in Ger many, of which Dr. Stresemann is one of the most conspicuous leaders, in favour of a general reduction of world tariffs, in which Germany will almost certainly participate. Her existing tariffs are not high —Customs last year amounted to 7.7 per cent, of the total value of imports. .
