WORLD TARIFFS
GERMAN AND BRITISH ATTITUDE. (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) London, June 17. The question of the British and German attitude towards tariffs in view of the Economic Conference resolutions continues to attract the attention of the Morning Post’s Berlin correspondent who says there is an overwhelming mass of political economic opinion in Germany, of which Dr Stresemann is one of the most conspicuous leaders in favour of a general reduction in world tariffs, in which Germany will almost certainly participate. Her existing tariffs and high customs last year amounted to 7.7 per cent of the total value of her imports. A complete revision of tariffs is being slowly worked out, but it may be doubted whether this will stop at a one-sided reduction on i the part of Germany, who is watching with : disquiet an opposite tendency elsewhere, notably in France. —A. and N.Z.
