RUSSIA MAY COME
BACK At UNCLE SAM
MEYER is WORK.
ING TO SECURE REVOCATION
OF IMPORT DUTY ON AMERl-
CAN IMPORTS IN RETALIATION.

st. Petersburg, May q, 11:50 p. m.-The
desirability of securin' the revocation of
the imposition by Russia of the maxi
rum duty on American imports, levied in
retaliation for the imposition of coun-
tervailing duty by the United States up
on Russian sugars which Ambassador
Meyer is trying to adjust, is assuming
additional Importance owing to the fact
that the Russo German tariff which goes
into effect at the end of the year, will
form the basis for Z. most favored ma
ton clause.
That treaty raises the duties on maehin-
cry and other articles in which Amer
lean exporters to Russia are especially
interested, and the new general or min
imum tariff with corresponding increases
goes into effect simultaneously. Conse-
uuently, unless the Russo-American tariff
dispute is adjusted American imports are
destined to bear still further burdens, IL
the dispute is adjusted the United States
will get the benefit III der the favored ma
ton clause no. only of the reductions
accorded to Germany, but also under the
new commercial treaty about to be nego-
tiated with France.
The Russian government seems to be
sincerely anxious to again place the
United States on the most favored nation
basis, but naturally would like to see
the old status quo restored. However,
Russia realizes the difficulty in the mat
ter of the countervailing duty on sugar.
which without further legislation was
rendered res adjudicata by the decision
of the supreme court of the United
States, and therefore is willing to waive
the question of sugar duty. but insists
upon the removal of maximum duties
upon bi-products of petroleum imposed
by the Secretary of the Treasury, which
affects English vaselne and other pro-
duets manufactured from Russia napatha.
The Russian government also demands
a guarantee similar to the one in the
new sso-German treaty. against any
possible abuse of the favored nation
clause by specifically binding each coun-
try in the future under no circumstances
or pretext to levy duties on the products
of the other in excess of those 1evied ON
similar products of a third power.
Ambassador Meyer has laid the matter
before the State Department and is
waiting Instructions.
