FRANCE AND AMERICA
BREACH OF TARIFF TRUCE
START OF TRADE WAR?
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph— Copyright. PAHIS, July 26. France has dramatically increased the duties on about sixty branches of American imports by amounts reaching 800 per cent.
The question is raised whether this action is a breach of the tariff truce and the beginning of a great trade war.
The American commercial attache states that millions of dollars worth of American exports are affected.
