GERMANY AND CANADA
TARIFF-REGULATIONS.
'MAILED FIST" POLICY A
FAILURE.
Iper press association. 7 OTTAWA, January 28. Sir R. J. Cartwright, Minister for Trade and Commerce, speaking in the Senate of Ottawa, stated that there had been pourparlers with. German officials regarding the surtax on German goods. Canada's legislation, he said, was not directed against Germany. It was in the power of Germany to obtain more favorable, tariff (relations with Canada by placing Canada in the same position in regard to the German tariff as she had before the introduction of British preference, which caused Germany to shake the mailed fist and put Canada in an unfavorable position to send goods to Germany. Canada's surtax followed, and as Germany was selling sevenfold to Canada compared with Canada's seles to Germany, the latter was beginning to see the futility of the position she had taken up in regard to Canada.
