TARIFF BARRIERS
AMERICA SEEKS MODIFICATIONS. United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright (Received December 13, 7.0 p.m .) MONTE VIDEO. December 12. The United States asked the PanAmerican nations to-day to reduce tariffs and trade barriers “from the present great heights to moderate and reasonable levels,” by the immediate adoption of a policy of bi-lateral reciprocity and commercial treaties. The Secretary of State (Mr Culford Hull) made recommendations before the Special Economic Committee of the Pan-American Conference, urging an understanding with other important nations to proceed simultaneously in the lowering of such trade barriers “to a level dictated by a moderate tariff policy.”
