TARIFF RAISED
FRENCH GOVERNMENT.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.)
Paris, April 21.
Presumably for the purpose of tariff bargaining the Government has raised the import tax over and above the ordinary duties on six British manufactures, simultaneously reducing three others. The import tax is designed _to counteract their avoidance of an internal sales tax on raw and semimanufactured products. It is ostensibly a retaliation on other Continental Governments for tariff reprisals.
