cision declaring that CiprianO Castro

TARIFF BILL HITS GERMANY.
Leaders In Reiehstag Complain of
American Measure.

american measure.
Berlin April 1.-The American tariff
was the subject OF a hostile discussion
in the reichstag.
Count Won Kanitz. Conservative, said
that the provisional agreement of 1907
with the United States was intended
to keep American duties within rea-
sonable limits. According to its pro-
visions Americans were Obliged to ac-
cept the valuations OF exports made
by German chambers of commerce as
proof American manufacturers, how
ever. had become discontented. and
he asserted that the real intention OF
the new tariff bill was to abrOgate the
agreement.
We are in a very bad situation re-
garding the United States" said Count
Won kanitz. "In my opinion We are
defenseless against the new tariff
proposition"
Foreign Secretary Won SchOen said:
The new American tariff bill pro-
poses numerous increases which may
injure German trade. These are found
ed ON inaccurate representations rela-
tive to wages and commercial and in
dustrial conditions in Germany. We
have taken the necessary steps to
point out these errors by means OF re-
liable information obtained through
out Germany"
