U.S. AND GERMANY.
TRADE RELATIONS. ABROGATION OF TREATY. Received September 13, 9 a.m. WASHINGTON. Sept. 12. It is authoritatively stated that the Secretary of State (Mr Cordell Hull) lias notified the German Ambassador (Herr Hans Luther) that, becoming effective on October 15, all German imports into the United States must pay the highest prevailing duty rates, because of asserted persistent flagrant discriminations against American imports by Germany. Mr Roosevelt's formal directions to the Treasury Department to withhold from Germany the extensions of lower duties on nearly 100 articles made in the Swedish, Belgian, and Haitian trade pacts are expected to be announced before September 15. The German-American commercial treaty, was the first unconditional most favoured nation pact entered into by the United States. It will end by Germany’s desire and action on October 15 and the new tariffs on German goods will coincide with the treaty’s abrogation.
