ment's tariff bill, which passed its
third reading in the Reichstag yester-
day without amendment. but after one
of the stormiest debates in German
parliamentary history, provides con-
spicuously high duties tor foodstuffs
and various industrial products.
While the new duties will tend to
hamper American exports to Germany,
II is indicated in official quarters that
the tariffs represent maXimums which
are to constitute the basis for subse-
quent negotiations with other nations

In the case Of food duties, for in
stance, it is pointed out that the min
istry of agriculture is empowered to
alter these in order to secure reCip-
roCal treatment from nations which
have not yet concluded treaties with
Germany.
As the United States has a most
favored nation" agreement with Ger
many it is assumed that there will be
no occasion for disa greement between
the two countries on account of the
excessive level of the maximum tariffs
incorporated in the new bill. which re-
places the tariff law of 1902.
The new duties on automobiles are
an instance of the high levels reached.
Under the provisions of the bill an
ordinary Ford automobile will pay
about $780, making it's price in Ger
many S1,100. American manufac-
turers. however, say that American
automobiles Will have a considerable
sale in Germany even under these

The tariff on motor cars is $50
marks per 100 Kilograms on cars
weighing up to 1900 kilograms, and
this is graduated down TO $50 marks
per 100 Kilograms for cars weighing
more than 5000 kilograms. This scale
is designed TO favor the importation
OF trucks and other heavy cars needed
in trade. "a kilogram is - pounds
The bill provides for q reduction of
the automobile duties graduated over

turers are skeptical about these re,

The battle over the tariff bill COW

marked by partisan clashes OF un-
wonted severity. The measure was
adopted on its final reading with the
aid of Nationalist, Peoples Party and
