FRANCE and HER
BARGAINING TARIFF

w ashington, June 23.-The Re-
| publican publicity association, through
it's President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following
statement from it's Washington head
quarters:
"a few weeks ago France served
notice on the world that beginning
with April of next year her trade re-
lations with other countries, allied or
neutral, must ,,thenceforth be on
basis of bargaining tariff. France la
bors under no illusions with respect
to postwar trade, and because Of her
specialization along certain lines of in
dustry, which form what may be call
ed the backbone of her export trade,
she is in position peculiarly adapt
ed to the bargining tariff policy: These
specialized lines of industry include
silk manufactures, feminine wearing
apparel, toilet preparations, photo
graphic films, wines, etc. Other in
|dustries she possesses, but those men
toned will be the ones on which
France chiefly relies for the bulk of
her business in the years to come.
"In this respect France differs from
the United States. Our industries
are so varied, So large, and distrib-
uted over so vast a territory that it
would be difficult to select any one, or
any group, as representing our chief
commercial asset. Hence, any attempt
on our part to put into operation a
bargaining tariff would result in a
storm of protest as the plan unfolded,
and would create endless pickering,
economic jealousy, ad industrial dis
arrangement if persisted in. Where
France might possess five basic indus
tries the United States would have

TROOP TRANSPORT HAS
BATTLE WITH HUN SUBMARINE

An Atlantic Port, June 21.--An
American troop transport, formerly a
German liner, which returned this
week from French port, was subject
ed, to a shell fire attack from Ger
man submarine two days. out from
the port of departure, it became
known here today. The transport es-
capped by superior speed, although a
running battle lasting more that an
hour took place, in which more than
100 shots were fired by the two YES
sells.
The submarine appeared to have one
gun that outranged any carried by the
transport, and from this gun there
were counted IS. shots, none of which
however, hit the American ship. The
submarine did not venture close en-
ough to use torpedo.

fifty, those fifty including five COM
peting with those Of France, a group
competing with the basic industries Of |
Germany, another with the basic in
dustries Of England, and so on. To
put ourssilk industry, for example, at |
a disadvantage in trading for con-
cession in the French market four ourl
canned meats would start quarrel,
and this example might be a,nplifed
and applied to the basic industries of
the various countries of Europe and
Of the Orient. ..
"The best solution which has yet
been presented Of the problem Of pro-
tecting our industries after the war
appears to be along the line of the
maximum and minimum tariff, which
was tested in the last Republican tar
iff law, and which was potentially so
effective that it never came into actual
operation. It was denounced at the
time as trade club which would in
cur for us European hatred and re-
prisals. It did nothing of the kind.
Scheduled to go into effect, March 81,
1910, against any country then dis
eliminating against American goods,
(and France, by the way, was at the
head and front Of this offending) by
the end of. 1909 every commercial pow
er on the globe had quietly and with
out complaint accepted our legislation
as a method Of. protecting our markets
by fair means, and had assured the
United States of its sincere good faith.
France, Germany, and others had re-
scinded vexatious discriminatory reg
ulations against our exports. The
world was dealing with us under our
minimum tariff, which protected AM
erican industries, although it permit
ted an import trade averaging $780,
100000 annually during the life Of the
law at an average rate Of duty on all
Imports of 1888 per cent compared
with an average rate Of 20.9 per cent
under the old Wilson German law of
the Democratic days of 1904-7.
But there was division in the ranks
Of the protectionists from 1909 to 1912
and the Republicans went out of pow
er. Not until they are returned to
power will the United States come in
to possession of the trade policy which
postwar competition with France and
with the world will necessitate.
