Dr.. Frank R. Rutter, Lecturing Be.
fore Y. M. c. A.. Tells Why Amer
lean Commerce Suffers.

Discrimination against United States
commerce is practiced by certain Euro
pean countries. hut the United States can
not hope for a cessation of this until the
laws here show less discrimination, ac-
cording to a statement made by DR..
Frank Il. Rutter. assistant chief Of the
bureau of foreign and domestic commerce.
who gave lecture on the tariff question
at the y. NJ. c. A. last night.
He said that the tariff law of 1918
brought about better relations between
the United States and foreign countries.
hut that defects in the tariff laws of this
country still existed which had led to
serious discrimination by foreign powers.
DIR. Rutter said that the discrimination
was practiced especially in Germany and
France before the war, and that the same
policy probably would be resumed after
the war

Europe Retaliates.

The Interpretation OF the most favored

Rutter said, had favored the commerce of
the American countries, and had led
European governments to retaliate by
practicing discrimination against the
products of the United States He
recommended that this government ac-

vided that concessions granted to one
country would apply to others
IF we want lower duties on American
products we must grant some conccs-
