Tariff Situation Acute.
But tariff agitation is not dead. The
Chicago reciprocity congress viii be one
of the means of agitation for tariff
liberalization. and 10 that extent it is
indorsed by friends of more liberal poll
eies.
The expectation now is, according to
the Congressional friends of tariff re-
vtsion-and these include some who are
closely in the eounsels Of the Admins
tration-that the maximum and mini
mum tariff proposal Will be the next
form of presenting the subject.
The German tariff policy OF prac-
tically excluding America from the
empire is fast forcing Things to an is
sue. 1t is reported on the one hand
and on apparently good authority. too
that there will be nm effort TO pass re-
taliatory legislation next winter. shut
ting Germany out Of American mar
kets as completely as the new Ger
man tariff will shut America out OF
Germany.
And on the other hand there is Il
story that the Administration is now
Negotiating for a new treaty with Ger
many. in the hope of laying a pact be-
fore Congress at the next session that
will stave off the threatened tariff war
and make possible an amicable adjust
ment
Whichever of these reports is true, or
whether either is. it is generally ac-
cepted that the relations with Germany
viii sooner or later reach a point where
they Will force some real, serious con-
sideration of the tariff question When
that time comes, the maximum and
minimum tariff idea is almost certain
to be pressed 10 the fore by those who
have heretofore hoped Tor achievement
along reciprocity lines.
And in this new phase of the tariff
fight. 1t is predicted that the standpat-
ters will demand q maximum and
minimum tariff, with present schedules
as minimuEns, and, say, 20 per cent ad-
ditional as maximums; while the re-
formers will demand the present rates
as maximums, with. say, is or 20 per
cent less as minimums. That viii be
the line of cleaveage.
But unless the German or some other
like situation socn forces the hand Of
Uncle Sam, there is small prospect Of
tariff accom- plishment in the reasonable
future. Both sides to the controversy
admit this.
