HUNGARY SEEMS
TO HAVE POWER
Independent Customs Tariff to Be
Established.
AUSTRIA CANNOT OBJECT
MAY YIELD I'M THE MATTER OF
LANGUAGE.

n UDAPEST. Hungary, April l6-
D The movement 70 establish a
customs tariff for Hungary
alone. as distinct from the present
Austro-H Hungarian tariff, is gaining
strength and popularity here and
is becoming an important factor in
the serious question of Austro-Hungar-
ian relations. This matter came UP
prominently in 1895 when Hungary
even got so far as preparing fun rates
for the proposed independent tariff.
Hungary today is BILE to take this step
of an Independent nation under the So
called law of 1888 passed by the Hun
garian parliament and signed by the
king that year, which empowers Hun
gary at her own viii TO establish an
Independent customs tariff and de-
nOunce the existing commercial treat
les in so far as she was concerned
therein. which had been previously
made by the monarchy and make in
dependent commercial treaties with
foreign states.
The supporters Of this movement de
clare, first, that all details as to rates
of the new tariff can be prepared with
in a month: second. that as certain
commercial treaties between the mon
archy and foreign states expire Jan. !.
1906. and the existing commercial aus
eleich between Austria and Hungary
expires Dec. p. 1907, consequently there
is an nteTTeEnum of two years. which
may be bridged either by extending
the foreign treaties two years and then
making new ones abrOSating the aus
gleich in 1906 and Immediately start
ing negotiations between Austria and
Hungary and foreign states for treat
les to become operative in 1905 third
