ALLIED PARLEYS
HELD IMPORTANT
Conferences of the Entente Powers Re.
garded With Great Significance
by Informed Circles.

London, April 17.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press THE con-
ferences of the allies going on in Paris
are looked upon in well informed
quarters as likely to develop means for
presenting united front on many
questions, outside of the settlement of
territory, when any real prospect for
concluding the war comes in sight
On their face these conferences are
to discuss trade and commercial ques-
tons in which the allies are mutually
interested. But those who have had
much to do in shaping the conferences
say these questions really touch the
matter of a war settlement and subse>
Iquent peace terms, and that the gen.
erals in the field may in the first in
stance have to incorporate them in any
! preliminary arrangements leading up
to the more definite protocols and
! treaties of the civil authorities. 1t is
with this view, to know where they
stand and to have some common end to
be definitely presented from the very
outset, that these conferences of the
allies are looked upon as considerably
more than an academic discussion of
trade problems.
The need of being thus prepared at
even in the first negotiations on the
field, has been made apparent by the
experience of France in the conclusion
Of the F'ranco-German peace terms.
The treaty of Frankfurt then made
was preceded by preliminary confer
'ences on the field, when the main lines
of settlement were laid down. But all
attention was absorbed at the time in
the big question, the cession of Alsace-
Lorraine, the payment of an indemnity
and the withdrawal of the German
army from France. Other questions
touching the future relations of the
country in trade and otherwise were
almost overlooked in the presence of
the main questions. But the French
have since learned that the Germans
did not overlook these lesser ques-
tons. On the contrary they had a
trade formula all ready, which was &C
cepted without question in the general
confusion, and this trade formula has
bound France hand and foot ever
since, up to the time the war smashed
all treaties and agreements.
pv forp,n1a
presented at that time Germany was
given the most favored nation" treat
ment for an indefinite period in the
future in all commercial and tariff
dealings with France, AS rule the
st-faVored nation" treatment is
granted by France for periods of 10
years, so that her minimum tariff
rates may be given to a country for
this little clause slipped into the
treaty at that time, France found later
she was bound for all time to give
Germany the utmost tariff concession
she allowed any other country. That
is, If France, through the operation of
her minimum and maximum scale of
tariff duties, allowed the United States
minimum rate for any particular
reason or through reciprocity, Ger
many was able to claim exactly the
same low rate, without reference to
any concession she might make. This
old clause, deftly worked into the
peace settlement, was always after re
garded by France as a serious embarr
rassment in her trade dealings with

other countries, for every time she
made favorable arrangement with an
outside country, Germany got the same
thing.
There is no purpose that the allies
shall be taken unaware in the adjust
ment of the present war as France
was in the former war, and that is
one of the main reasons the allies are
fully canvassing their trade interests
at the Paris conferences. Out of it a
pretty full understanding is expected
Of Just what united attitude the allies
will take on trade questions, from the
