TARIFF WEAPONS
USED AGAINST U.S.A. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. A reaction to a disclosure that the new French tariff, which became effective last Tuesday, includes schedules which are considered extremely harsh, and in many instances prohibitive, in respect of the importation to France of American manufactured goods, was swift and emphatic here. Senator Borah declared: “It is evident that Europe, gradually but surely, is forming an economic combination which might result disastrously for the United States.” Senator Harrison said: “France should not be permitted to obtain a private loan from this country’s bankers, until she has funded her war debt.” It is understood there is a movement afoot in the Senate against granting favoured debt treatment to European countries, which are considered to have the intention to “freeze out” Americans from trade competition in Europe. •
