FRANCE ASSESSES
MAXIMUM RA7B
ON ALL IiPORTATIONS FROM
THE UNITED STATES.
No Tariff War Feared But France
May Have TO Pay Maximum
Rates ON All Exports.
TO U. S. AFTER MARCH 81 NEXT

Washington, Oct. 2O.--The gov
eminent officials were not disposed
to regard the action of France in as
sessing the maximum duties against
all the imports from the United
States as an evidence of her inten-
ton to wage a tariff war against the
United States.
August Z, Taft in pursuance of the
Lew tariff act notified France, Swift
zerland and Bulgaria that our COM
mercial agreements with them would
be terminated October 81. Other
governments were notified that SINH
lar agreements would terminate on
certain other dates.
Last month the French govern
ment abrogated our commercial agree
ment with that country and since
then there was no expectation that
beginning November 1 American ex-
ports to France would be taxed at
the minimum rates, as from that
date the expectations OF France to
the United States WIN pay our full
schedule rates, these rates TO be con-
tinued until March 81. when the new
maximum features of the act so into
effect. .......
France, more than any other coun-
try in Europe, has Disseminated
against American products. Germany
gives the United States her mini
mum rates on 95 per cent of our ex-
portations into Germany. France
charged her maximum rates on all
our expectations, with the exception
of a very few articles enumerated in
the Dingley tariff act.
II remains to be seen whether be-
tween now and March 81 France will
give the United States her minimum
rates on substantially all of our ex-
ports to France or accept tbte conse-
quence of having o pay our maximum
rates. These are the schedule rates
of the ne wtaTiff act, with 20 per
cent added.
The effect OF having to pay our
maximum rate will undoubtedly put
France at a tremendous disadvantage
as compared with other European ma
lions in handling American goods.
America is probably Frances best
market for brandies and wines. It
is expected that she will seriously
consider whether she can afford to
pay a rate considerably higher than
she has been paying, also the addi-
tional increase Of 20 per cent over
this.
II is reported that there are pre-
'servatives used in French cham
pagnes which might come under the
ban of the pure food regulations
This may figure in the event of re-
taliatory steps.
