RECIPROCITY WITH GERMANY.
WHERE CONSIDERABLE PROGRESS
is BEING MADE

Washington April 20.-The reciprocity nego-
tiations between the United States and Ger
many have been transferred to Berlin. where
Ambassador White is negotiating directly with
the Foreign Office. Considerable progress has
been made by the announcement Of the Min
lister OF Finance that Germany could not expect
to receive. under the most-favored- clause,
the same concessions granted to France in the
recent Franco American reciprocity arrange
ment. unless Germany made concessions similar
to those by which France had secured the ar
rangement. This reduces the question to what
concessions each country will give. which mat
ter is now under negotiation in Berlin.
