TURKS AGAINST TARIFF
Criticize Increase of Duty on Sugar, Maize Barley and Wheat and Rice When Imported.


 Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 Berlin, July 21.-The new differ ential tariff which has been adopted in Turkey is meeting with much cri- ticism from Turkish economists themselves, according to the German Oriental Correspondence bureau. The increase in the duty on sugar-beet cultivation, for instance, Is declared to have been mistake as the pre- vailing dryness of the climate makes Turkish soil ill-adapted to growing sugar beets, and the result of the duty therefore will be merely to in crease the price of sugar.
 Similar criticism is made against duties of 20 to 60 per cent. ad yalorem on maize barley, wheat and rice. The critics say the soil and climate of Turkey are better adapted for grow ing far more valuable crops. and es- pec1ally cotton, than for the grains named. The result of the high du- ties. they say, will be that cotton and other valuable products will be neg lected in favor of products of less value and even the latter will be of poor quality.
 Industrial circles are also inclined to criticize the duties on many man. ufactured articles as too low. These articles, they say, can be made in Turkey as well and as cheaply as elsewhere, but the infant industries now existing need encouragement
