FRENCH BUSINESS
INJURED BY TARIFF

Paris. Nov 1S.-A petition signed by
number of repuues was distributed
today in the chamber Of deputies pro
posing to allow salt meats from the
United states and Canada to benefit
by the minimum tariff
Twelve influential deputies signed the
petition. II is pointed out that the APP
plication of the maximum tariff has
resulted in the absolute prohibition of
the importation of American pork,
causing serious loss to the business of
French houses, while France was men
aCed with reprisals on the part of the
United States which the FrancO-Amer-
lean agreement provides for. The petit
ton closes with an earnest appeal that
the minimum tariff be made thirty
francs on 100 kilos.
