ASQUITH ADVICE
WELL REGARDED
Statement Made by Premier in Con-
nectiOn With Economic Confer
ence Approved by French.

Paris Correspondence of the As
sociated Press. Mr.. Asquith's ad-
vice to the British delegates to the
recent interparliamentary economic
conference TO be careful not through
excitement or blindness, or with the
desire to clinch a victory. to take
measures that will do you more harm
than the enemy" was well given, in
the opinion of some French economic
writer's
Before the first interparIiamentary
conference there were fears in French
as well as in English circles as to
what might be the results Of uuau-
thOritative discussion by parliament
tarians of international affairs. and
the results of the economic confer
ence have not aIlayed such fears.
Max HOschiller, in the Revue de
Paris. says there is great danger that
the hasty conceptions of these con
ferences, put into practice, would turn
against their authors, and that the
only plan of economic reciprocity be-
tween the entente allies thus far de-
yeloped is Of a nature to arouse the
Ilveliest apprehensiOnS; that it is even
liable TO bring about differences and
provoke great conflicts of interest be-
tween the allies after the war.
n. I1OSCHlIIeE declares impossible
Of application between the allies
themselves the protectionism in four
degrees proposed by the conference.
as follows:
Reciprocal preferential tariffs be-
tween the United Kingdom and its co
lonial possessions.
Reciprocal and preferential tariffs.
secondary TO the foregoing, between
the British empire and its allies.
Favorable treatment, but in the third
order Of preference, to neutrals.
Prohlbitive tariffs on products of
countries now enemies Of the entente
powers
In the first place, the preferential
reciprocal tariffs proposed for the
United Kingdom and its colonial pos
sessions put Great Britain in hostility
