The passage of the new American
tariff law has aroused unrestrained
JubiIation all over Europe.
Practically every newspaper OF
prominence writes with unconcealed
satisfaction OF a measure which,
without containing any clause of
reciprocity, opens the way to flood
ing the American markets with
foreign products.
The American this morning adds
to the cabied expression Of British,
German. French and Italian opinionA
published In Sundays American, all
these additional reports showing a
satisfied conviction that the new
tariff act will benefit Europe as much
as or more than II does America

BERLIN, oct. ia systematic and
vigorously conducted campaign fol-
development OF German trade In the
American market promises to be the
first result of the new tariff. Whether
the work is to be carried on through
organization or by the individual eff
forts of exporters singly is yet to be
determined, but several larger Ger
man commercial organizations al
ready are preparing to give any eff
fort of the kind their energetic sup
port.
Bodies like the Industrial associa-
tions, Hansa Bund and leading Ger
man Chambers of Commerce have
already obtained by telegraph the
leading schedules of the bill in its
final revision and are sounding lead
ing industrial concerns as to their
opinions,
Many Industries to Benefit.
Inquiries among various branches
OF the manufacturing industry show
the firms which are taking most ac-
tive interest in the newly opened
possibilities OF trade expansion are
those engaged in the following:
Cotton, WOODEN goods, textile fab
RIGS, porcelain, earthenware, feathers,
chemicals, chemical dyes, foodstuffs,
leather, watch and olook cases and
cutlery.
The list leaves out concerns in the
heavy steel industry, but those, 1t
was pointed out, could scarcely hope
to compete with American products
in any event.
Speaking of the possible effects
of the tariff revision as indicated in
the foregoing list, The Berliner Nor,
gen Post says:
1t will be seen that the preponder-
Ance Of advantage offered by the re-
duced duties may be expected to &C
crue to just those industries which
come first into consideration as po-
tential factors in American trade"
The FTankfurter Zeitung, which
probably is the most influential news
paper in Germany as an authority on
commercial questions, says:
Hopeful Of Bio Exports
'Germany's exports undoubtedly
will take leap forward This is true
not only of industries already doing
business in America, but others which
have not yet obtained a foothold there.
'Woolen manufacturers, especially
those in the finer grades, should de-
velop a good business. for while
American manufacturers now receive
free raw material. tho tariff on man
ufactured articles is proportionately
reduced Cotton expectations should
also increase and paper makers, man
ufacturers OF color stuffs, dyes and
pOrcelains have good reason to be
satisfied.
This applies also to industries en-
gagged in smaller lines OF steel and
iron production, like cutlery and locks
Even German sugar. after 1915 may
have a period of revived prosperity If
the right arrangements regarding
Cuba can be made"

The Berliner Tageblatt which has be

German banking and mercantile
classes, says:
