TARIFFS AND BARRIERS.
SECRET SESSION HELD.
Australian nntl N.Z. Press Association. (Received July 10. 8.15 p.m.) LONDON. July 10.
A message from Amsterdam says that possibly the most important part of yesterday's proceedings at the Congress of the International Chamber of Commerce occurred secretly in the form of conversations relating to trade barriers and commercial policies.
It is known that competent experts are gravely apprehensive of the reaction of tariff increases, such as those contemplated by the United States, upon the problem of meeting debt obligations. The president of the chamber. Dr. Alberto Pirelli, was most active. He succeeded in inducing the delegates not to raise tlio issue in the congress publicly.
A special correspondent of the Financial News says expectations are High that something of great importance may emerge before the congress ends. It debated the need for better industrial statistics.
