 are all exceptions to that complete de
 gree of equality of tariff treatment that the department of state has con-
 sistently sought to obtain for Ameri- can commerce abroad.
 While the double tariff feature of the tariff law of 1909 has been amply justi- fled by the results achieved in remov- ing former and preventing new undue discrimina tions against American com
 merce, it is believed that the time has come for the amendment of this fea- ture of the law in such way. as to provide a graduated means of meet ing varying degrees of discriminatory treatment of American commerce in foreign countries as well as to pro- tect the financial interests abroad of American citizens against arbitrary and injurious treatment on the part of | foreign governments through either legislative or administrative measures. 1t would also seem desirable that | the maximum tariff of the United States should embrace within it's pur- | view the free list. which is not the case at the present time. in order that l it might have reasonable significance | to the governments of those countries | from which the importation into the United States are confined virtually | to articles on the free list. | Record of Highest Amount of Foreign Trade.

 By direction of the state department our ambassador to Russia has recently been having a series of conferences with the minister of foreign affairs of Russia with view to securing a clear understanding and construction of the treaty of 1882 between Russia and the United States and the modifi- cation of any existing Russian regu- lations which may be found to inter fere in any way with the full recogni- tion of the rights of American citizens under this treaty.
