AUSTRALIAN FRUITS
CAUSING CONCERN IN AMERICA WASHINGTON, January 0. The belief that Australian citrus fruits are certain to expand their market in Canada is causing uneasiness among the fruitgrowers of California and Florida. Plans have been made in Washington by the Democrats for alterations in the tariff law, and should these be effected they will have an important bearing on Australia. The Democrats, realising that they cannot pass the Revised Tariff Act this session, intend to introduce a measure providing for a Tariff Commission, which, Instead of the President, would make recommendations to Congress for changes in duties, More far-reaching, however, is a provision to authorise reciprocal reductions of duties when other countries make concessions in their tariff laws in favour ol United States products. For a freer admission of citrus fruits into Canada the Democrats, it is stated, are prepared to pay the price by lowering the prevailing rates against other articles the entry oAvhich into American markets Canada desires.
