To PROTECT INDUSTRIES.
Austrlans Pass Resolutions Favor.ng
Revision Of Tariffs.

VIENNA. Oct. 24.-At a meeting OF
committees representing Austrian agri-
cultural ani manufacturing interests
held in Vienna last nigh, 10 discuss
measures for coping with the trans
oceanic competition the following reso-
luton was adopted:
In view Of the commercial policy Of
the United States and the example Of
Germany. a complete recas;ing Of uhe
customs tariffs Is
advisable IN order TO afford ADEQUATE
and permanent protection to industry
and agriculture. TO facilitate the con-
clusion OF favorable commercial con-
yentlOns and to promote expectation.
Following the example Of the Unit
ed states, facilities offered bv the Gus
toms tariff for concessions should be
turned 10 advantage in the case OF ev-
cry individual state. Treaties should
contain no clause granting the most IA
vored nation treatment in a general and
uaresricted sense; but clauses should
be inserted providing for reciprocity and
equ.val=n; advantages"
A further resolution advocated the
conclusion Of commercial treaties for
long periods where they would give suf-
ficient projection to home production.
but recommended treaties for shor; per-
iods with the United States and the
Argentine Republic, urging In conclu-
sion that the countries OF Central Eu-
rope should unite for a common de-
fense against trlns-oceanlc competi-
.lon."
