EXTEND RECIPROCITY.
Trade Arrangements With All COun-
tries Planned at Washington.

Washington. June 4.-Following the
completion of the German trade
agreement comes the information that
the Roosevelt administration is now
mapping out a general plan for
reciprocal trade arrangements with
all leading countries of the world.
The treaties will be along the lines
of those negotiated by President Nc
Kinley but rejected by the senate.
France and Great Britain will be
sounded first and other nations will
follow.
Dissa tisfaction is expressed in both
administrative and business circles
with the provisions OF the new ar
rangement with Germany. Business
interests complain because it is al
legged that under some pretext certain
classes of German goods can be I'M
dervalued and brought into the coun-
try in competition with American
wares. which are supposed to be pro-
tected by the tariff. differentiation
is q favorite weapon of assault against
the tariff wall by foreign producers.
1t is said the new arrangement Will
certainly be tested in the courts by
American manufacturers, and there is
likelihood of the action of the secre-
tary of state and secretary of the
treasury being questioned and criti-
ciSed in congress.
