American apples. British fruit grow
ers have started move to have tax
imposed on foreign fruit with the pur-
pose of aiding home growers. 1t is
proposed that the tariff would not ap-
ply 10 fruit grown in the empire and
so would not apply to Canadian or
Australian apples.
1t is asserted that the America n
produce, which began to reach the
markets here at the same time as the
output of English orchards, is solo at
prices which iniure home growers.
In trade circles in London il is

that America exports of apples are
