CANADIAN AMERICAN
TARIFF RELATIONS

Ottawa, Dec. 1.-THE action of the
French chamber of deputies In vot-
ing to increase greatly the tarn rates
that VIII apply to American agricul-
tural implements has served TO inject
a new clement of uneasiness into the
Canadian American tariff relations. as
viewed on this side of the line.
Canada's treaty with Franco. now
needing only the last formal rati-
flcation, gives Canada an advantage of
40 per cent off the French tariff rates
that would apply to agricultural i'm
plements from the United States. on
binder this would amount to $500:
on a mower $3.S6; on a reaper $4.S2:
on a horse rake $193
These figures apply as the French
tariff stands. without the latest in
crease in maximum. Press dispatches
indicate that the change in the rates
that will apply to America will operate
TO increase greatly the duty on Ameri-
can implements.

WASHINGTON APPRENTICESHIP
OVER ZELAYNS SUCCESSOR

Washington. Dec, 1.-THE passing
OF Zelaya, the dominant influence for
evil In Central America. especially in
Nicaragua, is regarded here as long
step in the direction OF better things.
The frequent mention, however. OF
the name OF Madriz as his possible
successor as president of Nicaragua
Is not received with favor in official
circles in Washington.
The very fact that MadriZ Is re-
ported to be Zelaya's candidate pre-
supposes an understanding by which.
in the event of the latter's succession
TO the presidency. the great monop-
olIes now controlled by Zelaya would
be protected
However that may be. this govern
ment does not take kindly TO the
Madrlz movement and although 1t is
improbable the United States would
take active measures to prevent his In
stallation as president. this eVentuality
would be regarded as most unfor-
tunate result OF the efforts or the peo-
pie of Nicaragua to free themselves
from the domination OF monopoly
loving and law-breaking influences
among its high officials.
1t is we'll understood that the send
Ing OF Warships to command both the
Atlantic and Pacific ports of Nicara-
qua with view OF protecting Ameri-
cans has had the erect OF stimulating
the revolutionists to more energetic
action and has disheartened the zelaya
supporters.
1t Is not believed, however, that this
government at any time has contem-
plated any drastic action except in the
event that American lives and Interests
were jeopadized
Whether or not the United States
will take any steps to prevent Zelaya
from leaving the country is problem
aticaI That Estrada and his army
will willingly submit to the installation
of Madriz as president Is not conceiv-
able here His affiliations with Ze-
lava have been such as to make his
accession to the presidency unsatis-
factory to the best people OF Nicaragua
and no doubt Is expressed here that
in case Madrlz assumes the presidency,
Estrada Will make every possible effort
to overthrow him as he has Zelaya.
