WOULD DEMOL|sH
FRENCH ARGUMENT
Bernard J. shoninger Presents
Figures to Support Americas
Tariff Contentious.

parts February 2o.--Bernard u
Shoningor president OF the American
Chamber of Commerce In Paris, mas mas
submitted to NJ. Jean Dupuy minister
of commerce. q series OF ngures, Wiz VIII,
he claims, will completely demolish
the French side of the tariff contro-
versy with the United States Substan-
italy. Mr.. Shoninger's statement Is as
follows:
American expectations to France In
1908, the last year for which complete
figures are available, amounted TO 1il-
900 900 francs CS14S,200, 00G). OF which
512.000.OOO francs were in cotton, cop
per and other raw materials entering
free for use OF French industries. The
remainder paid the French maximum
and minimum rates almost in equal
proportion. and the concession OF the
asks. would only involve the remis-
sion of 6,326, 600 francs in duties.
The French exports to the United
States in 1909, on the other hand, to-
tailed 6n2,N00.00 francs, of which APP
proximately 9e,ooO.O0o represented
on the free list, leaving eo0,oo0.o0O
dutiable under the Payne law.
Under the minimum rates, averaging
20 per cent, the duties would tota
252.000.000 francs. whereas, if the max
imum rate were applied. this including
per CtlIt. gu 'dIoi'iii ti''itN'Oi''t's
81 per cent. in all. the duties wouit
total A02,000,0o0 francs, a difference o.
$50. 100000, which constitutes the sun
for which France is asked to conced'
! 6.326, 100000.
Even should France, under the pend
ing tariff bill. apply a surtax equal t.
the percentage of discrimination i'm
posed by the United States. the add
tional duties collected upon dutiabl'
+; American goods would amount to onl.
51,2SS,0OO francs. Thus France would
