r FRANCE.
PARIS, July 23-In the Corps Legislatif
yesterday, while the revenue bill was under
consideration, a proposition was made by way
OF amendment to the bill to restore duties,
which were formerly imposed ON all American
resinous products imported into France. The
proposition gave rise to lively debate.
1t was supported on the the ground that the
restoration of duties on imports from America
was justified by the excessively high tariff now
imposed by the United States articles Of
French production.
The measure, however, was strongly opposed
by the free trade members of the Chamber.
M. Oseenne, member of Council of State and
Director of Foreign Commerce, explained the
views OF the Government. He said they had
closely watched the changes which had been
made from time TO time in the tariff laws of
the United States and they greatly lamented
that such heavy burdens have been imposed
on French productions, but they were not dis
posed to adopt system of retaliation which
could only result in injury to the commercial
interests of both countries.
fter further debate the amendment was re-
iec'ed.
