CANADA EXPECTS LARGER
COMMERCE WITH GERMANY
Recent Tariff Agreement Between
Two Countries is Taken
Favorably
ALL HANDICAPS ARE REMOVED

Ottawa, ont, March IA large in
crease i'm the volume of trade between
Canada and Germany is expected to
result from the provision trade agree
ment recently concluded between the
two countries. and which went into
operation today. For more than a de-
cade the commerce between Canada
and Germany has been seriously hand
icapped by a trade war which began
when Canada gave Great Britain a
preference in 1897 and which led Cam
ada TO impose a surtax of 33 1-3 per
cent against German goods i'm 1908.
Under the provisions of the new agree
ment Canada suspends the surtax on
German products entering the Domin-
ion, and in return Germany grants
Canada her conventional or minimum
tariff rates on twenty-fiv articles in
the German tariff. The principal ar
ticles of Canadian produce which are
now to have the benefit of the German
minimum tariff are wheat and other
grains, fruits, timber, horses, horned
cattle. sheep, meat, wood and other
pulp, and leather and footwear.
