TREATY OR REPRISALS
Alternatives in AustralianAmerican Trade HINT OF NEGOTIATIONS By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright NEW YORK, April 20. The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce says it is learned to-day that the State Department has been urged by associations aud individuals interested in increasing their trade with Australia to seek to negotiate a reciprocal trade agreement with that country as a means of “heading off” reprisals and the imposition of quotas or the erection of other barriers. The State Department denied there was any reluctance to enter into such negotiations, but explained that President Roosevelt’s programme was directed towards multi-lateral rather than bilateral arrangements, and that scientific study would be necessary to determine the Australian products for which a market could be built up in the United States.
It was promised that eventually the Australian Government would be asked to make suggestions for a reciprocal trade agreement, and that when both Governments began to consider the question little difficulty would be experienced in reaching a working basis.
