FACTS AS TO THE RATE ON LEATHER IN
THE NEW RECIPROCITY TREATY.
Washington. July 2S.-The semi-official state
rnent in Paris that American leather does not
get the minimum rate under the new reciprocity
treaty. although NJ. Melines Cabinet offered this
rate caused considerable amusement in official
circles here. 1t is Of the recorded facts Of
the recent negotiations that NJ. Meline' who Is
now attacking the new treaty. offered far
greater concessions OF American goods than the
present Ministry permitted TO be inserted In the
treaty as finally framed. NJ. Mene was at the
head Of the Ministry in the early stages OF the
reciprocity negotiations. and al that time Com
missioner Kasson received a proposition from
tariff on the entire list OF American goods sent TO
France.
This proposition OF the Meline Cabinet stood
until two weeks ago. although new Ministry
had come into power. The present Ministry de-
cided. however. that the original offer Of the
Mellne Cabinet had gone too far, and as a re-
suit a new proposition was advanced two weeks
ago to omit from the minimum list a large num-
ber Of agricultural products such as leather
horses cattle and butter. produced largely IN
France In the final draft twenty-four OF these
exceptions are made largely in the interest OF
French agricultural products. so that the In
strurnent is much more considerate Of French
interests than It would have been II framed
under the original proposition Of NJ. Meline VINO
