ANEW TREATY WITH GERMANY
ROOSEVELT WILL SEEK BETTER
COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.

German Tariff VIII Become Effective
march, Next, and Unless New Arrange.
ment Ii Made American Products viii
He Placed At Great Disadvantage.
WARRINGTON, Aug. l0.-In view Of the
prospect Of disastrous results to American
manufactures through the decision Of the
German Government TO end the tariff ar
rangement under which the United States
and Germany now operate, President Roose-
welt has decided to propose treaty Of
amity and commerce to Germany.
That President Roosevelt has reached
this decision can be stated on the authority
OF high Government official. The negotia-
tons have already progressed somewhat,
but for months the matter has been at a
standstill, the State Department deeming
it useless to present anything in the nature
OF a reciprocal tariff arrangement to the
Senate Already there are several treaties
before the Senate that apparently never
will be ratified.
But in view Of the Presidents decision
negotiations for an entirely new treaty will
begin. Germany has frequently expressed
its desire for treaty. The new German
tariff goes into effect on March 1, 1905, and
unless some arrangement is made by that
date manufacturers from this country must
pay much greater duty than the products
Of the European countries, with whom
Germany recently concluded treaties.
The exact lines upon which the treaty
will be drawn have not been announced.
Berlin does not desire to renew the present
arran cement, which is no more than an
agreement under which the two Govern
ments have operated since 1870, the German
Government taking over the treaty signed
between this Government and the King Of
Prussia in 1920. That treaty contained
the most favored nation clause and since
1870 this Government has enjoyed tariff
privileges equal to those Of any other coun-
try.
Next March themost favored nation clause
as 1t operates between the United States and
Germany will be a dead letter. the German
Government having 80 informed the United
States.
on Feb. ?? last the Reichstag by adopt
ing treaty of commerce with Russia
concluded the negotiations for seven sim
liar treaties with European countries, in
Guiding Russia. Italy, Rumania, Switzer-
land, Servia and Austria-FIungary. The
treaties grant the products OF those coun-
tries very low rates, which give them great
advantage over American producers.
The German agrarian party insists that
the United States be forced to make a
treaty. and the Government is apparently
following the dictates OF thr agrarians.
