STORM OF PROTESTS.
The state department and the treas
ury department are being deluged with
kilograms, from vast business interests,
protecting against the imposition of the
countervailing duty on sugar imported
from Russia. Nearly all Of the corpor
atoms urge that such action on the part
of the United States will prove ruinous
to our export TRADE with Russia, (which
already has attained large proportions,
with promise of an increase In the fu-
ture, as the Siberian railroad and new
transpaciflc steamship lines are orened
up. i;s
The Russian experiment. has given no
tice that if the attempt Is made by the
United States to lay this countervailing
duty it must respond by imposing the
maximum tariff rates upon American
exports to Russia. Owe are now enjoying
the minimum ;Eate,s and the maximum
would be absolutely ,prohibitive on Amer
lean exports to Russia
1t is said at the state department that
this is the situation today and that all
that can be done is-to wait for the next
move on the part OfRuSS1a.
The one event that might change the
situation in manner to wipe out the
issue is a decisions by the United States
courts to the effect that the Russian
sugar is not bounty aided and it is stated
that every opportunity will be afforded
by the treasury officers for the speed1est
possible determination of that question
through a test upon the first importation
of Russian sugar,
