WASHINGTON, March 15.
President Taft, Mr Knox. -Mr Pepper, three members of the Tariff Board, and Senators Aldrieh and Crane, are conferring with reference to the tariff negotiations. President Taft remarked that there was little chance of reaching an agreement with Canada, but progress had been made towards a settlement with France whereby the latter would have the advantage of 25 per cent, reduction in the Payne Tariff. LONDON, March 15.
Advices from Toronto show that President Taft considers that the Canadian Treaty with France involves undue discrimination against America. Possibly Sir Wilfrid Laurier must make concessions to avoid a tariff war.
