Would Place Tariff Walls and Alb
rogate Trade Pacts
MAY ABANDON FREE TRADE
English Begin Trade Domination
Plan for After War-Must
Abrogate All Favored
Nation Treaties

Washington, Sept 18.-Division
Of the countries OF the world into
economic strata, separated by tariff
walls and classified as allies of the
British empire, friendly neutrals,
unfriendly neutrals and enemy coun-
tries, is urged by the London cham
Der of commerce in the most coG-
plete programme for British post
war trade domination yet to reach
this country. To clear the ground
for this world reconstruction the
chamber concludes, in a special re-
port, copy OF which has just been
received here, that abrogation of all
most favored nation treaties, includ
ing that with the United States, is
inevitable.
Free trade, England's historic
policy, would be abandoned ond
series OF graded tariffs proposed in
line with the present war groupings
of the nations. All imports, for in
stance, would be divided into the
following classes:
Wholly manufactured goods;
emi-manufactured goods and arti-
Giles used solely as raw materials
in industries; manufactured food
stuffs and raw foodstuffs.
All parts of the British empire
and its allies would pay the mini
mum duties. Friendly neutrals
which allot the United Kingdom the
most favored treatment would pay
twice as much. Other neutrals Civ
ing preference to other neutrals and
including neutrals which might
swing into the Teutonic commercial
system would pay a still greater
surtax, and all enemy" countries
would pay maximum duties, run
ming up as high as 80 per cent.
Roughly. it is estimated in the
report, that this change would net
a yearly revenue of about $375,O0O,-
600.
American trade experts are ex-
pected to show the keenest interest
in the chambers recommendation
The proposal to abrogate Americas
most favored nation commercial
treaty with England the plan for
preferential tariffs are regarded by
officials here as significant of the
trend of Englands economic thought
and plans. The chambers report has
been called to Secretary Lansing's
attention.

to inquiries. The state department
received from Mr.. Guthrie a note
ON the subject addressed to him by
the Japanese foreign office stating
in unequivocal terms that Japan
had not for a moment entertained
any intention of departing from
these policies.
Department officials let it be
known that the statements were
entirely satisfactory, and that in
quiries regarding the new treaty,
over which they had been consid-
erably perturbed. probably would
not be pressed further.
State department officials today
expressed complete satisfaction with
the unequivoeal reply made by
Japan and the statement from the
Russian foreign office They felt
these assurances left no doubt as
20 the maintenance of the open
door policy and regard for Ameri-
can interests in China under the
terms Of the new Russo-Japanese
treaty, although its text has not
yet been made public. Officials do
not expect that American inQuirers
at Toxic and Petrograd will be
pressed further and that copy OF
the new convention will be forward
ed in due course:
