needless, rs 1T is harmful to mutual interests.
The German government has protested against
THAT provision Of the customs tariff act which
Imposes discriminating duty Of onetenth Of
ine cent pound On sugars coming from coun-
tries paying an export bounty thereon, claim
ing that the exaction Of such duty is in contra
vention Of articles and Of the treaty Of
1923 with Prussia. In the interests Of the com
nserce Of both countries and to avoid even the
accusation Of treaty violation, recommend
the repeal Of 50 much Of the statute az imposes
that duty.
Protection Of Seals.
Early in the present year an agreement was
feachcd with Great Britain concerning in
etrnctioDs TO be given to the naval command
crs Of the two governments in Behring Sea
and the contiguous North Pacific ocean for
their guidance in the protection Of seal life in
the waters mentioned. An understanding has
asJ been reached for the payment by the
United states OF $425,0 in full satisfaction OF
ail cldInswhich may be made by Great Brit
ain for damages growing out Of the contro-
yeray as to fur seals In Behring Sea, or the
seizure Of British vessels engaged in taking
sal in those waters. The award and findings
o. the Paris tribunal to great extent deter
mined the facts and principles upon which
thess claims should be adjusted. I'm con
vincaJ that a settlement upon the terms men
one, and recommend that provision be made
for the prompt payment OF the stated sum
Thus far only France and Portugal have signi
fed thcir willingness to adhere 10 the reguia'
tions established under the award Of the Paris
tribunal of arbitration.
