FRANCE FAVORS
 |. 5. PRODUCTS
French Officials Discuss New
 Tariff Agreement

Paris. Nov. 16 UP)-united States products are given most favored-nati treatment under the new provisional tariff agreement published today. French officials cN- plained.
 The agreement, reached after the United States complained that its goods were being discriminated against under new French tariff rates, is designed 10 remain in et- feet until q permanent treaty can be negotiated.
 Commercial attaches at the American embassy were busy study mg the rates. whose terms covered la pages ln today's officials journal.
 Minister of Trade Maurice Bokan- onski planned 10 receive newspaper men this ancrnon to explain inc rates according to French lntcrpre- iation.
 Tie dispute regarding rates began Nith the signature of q new treaty ny which France gave Germany most -favorei-nation tariff treatment. certain American products were subiecte4 under the treaty 10 rates mat the French admitted were pro htbitive.
 By the provisional agreement. and inc final agreement to be ncgotlat- d. those products are to be subject ,l 10 general tariff terms. as they were prior 10 1921. before France began revising her schedules.
 The schedules published today re- iuco the rates the United States had complained of to the level at which they were assessed prior to 1921, The only exception is in the case of goods that prior to 1921 were assessed at lower rates than the present minum rates accorded to Germany. Rates on such goods are brought up to the present German level,
 Such treatment. French officials explained to the United Press, would mean that the United States and Germany would have the same most favored nation treatment- which is all that the United States asked.
 The net result of the entire agrec- ment is that United States products will pay slightly more than they did prior to 1921 but will not be dis criminated against in favor of an other nations goods. French officials say that even such increases arc offset by other advantages in other directions

/ PEACE PIPE

! The olive branch was being passed
around in Republican circles of the
Senate today as a truce doomed be.
tween the insurgents and regulars
on the subject Of organization.
The insurgent demands for def.
mite assurance that three measures
would be voted upon during the
coming session-in return for their
support of Republican nominees
for senatorial offices-appeared to
have been met by Administration
leaders. Senator Curtis (R) Of
Kansas. majority floor leader, was
said to have agreed to lend his sup
port in securing the desired votes.
The votes were asked on a farm
relief bill, based upon McNary-
Haugen principles; on measure to
limit the use of Federal injunctions
in labor cases, and on resolution
for an investigation of the Coolidge
Kellogg policy in Latin-America-
This demand was made by Sena-
tors Frazier of North Dakota, LaFol-
lette of Wisconsin, Nye of North
Dakota, Blaine of Wisconsin, Repub-
lican insurgents, and Shipstead
Of. L. of Minnesota. They did not
ask support for the measures, but
simply an opportunity for a vote
on all three in the open Senate.
