(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.)
London, January 8,
Britain, fearing that the new French duties will adversely affect the commercial treaty negotiations, is making early representations regarding the import quotas.
BRITAIN’S EXPORTS
75 PER CENT. REDUCTION.
(British Official Wireless.)
(Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, January 8. An examination of the probable effects on British overseas trade of the recen alterations in the French import quotas has now been completed. It reveals that the arrangements made involve an immediate reduction of 75 per cent, in the United Kingdom’s exports to France of a wide range of goods which are already subject to quota restrictions. In addition it will bring under a similar restriction articles which at present are not subject to quotas. It is anticipated that representations regarding the effect of the revised quotas will in the immediate future be made to the French Government by the British Ambassador, Lord Tyrrell.
