FRANCE TO BOOST
TARIFF SCHEDULE
Difficulties With Germany
and Belgium Declared
Behind Action.
Ey the Associated Press.

-
PARIS. November 1.-THE French
government has decided to revise its
entire tariff schedules. The revision
viii be upward. The increase. il is
explained. was made necessary by
difficulties encountered with Belgium
and Germany on the commercial
treaties.
1t has been discovered that the
present tariffs are too low to permit
the French to make concessions to
Germany in order to obtain a con-
tinuation of the free entry OF AL
satan products into Germany after
January 10.
French experts began work on the
new schedules today at the ministry
OF commerce under the personal su-
pervision Of Minister Eaynaldy. The
difficulty In arriving at mutually
satisfactory understanding with Bel
gium hastencd the revision. Although
the Belgians under the modus vivendi
recently adopted favored certain
French products. they at the same
time heavily increased duties on
about 500 other articles. France is
interested particularly in automo-
biles. The new rates are regarded
as almost prohibition on all of
Frances biggest exports. The French
for sentimental reasons, hoped to
reach with Belgium an agreement
similar to that which for business
reasons they were trying TO get with
the Germans. But, in view Of the
policy indicated by the recent radical
Belgian increase of duties on French
products. this idea now has been
abandoned. in favor of a general re-
vision which is likely to be quite
radical on a good many articles of
importation.

BERLIN. November 15.-The ques-
ton whether or not so-called demo-
cratic parties will gain seats in the
Reichstag at the coming elections in

obtain those seats themselves.
Belief in some imminent political
decision of far-reaching Importance

Russia has been recognized by all

have to decide on some agreement
(Which perhaps will not differ great

only enemy whose corners of hostility
have not softened Is the United
States, and Moscow hopes gradually
to obtain a milder tone thereby the
power won in Asia.
The anniversary of the Russian
revolution in November, 1917, is cele-
brated annually in all embassies of
the Soviet republic. They are no
longer wildly romantic. as they were
on the first anniversary. Then the
bright red Soviet flag was flying from
