TARIFF War is
AVERTED SAYS
M. BOKANOWSKI.

PARIS, Oct. q P)-All danger of
a Franco American tariff war is re-
garded by French officials now as
averted, in view of the statement is
sued last night by NJ. BokanoWski,
French minister of commerce, in
which he announced that the high
rates on American imports recently
imposed had been temporarily sus-
pended
Negotiations for a CONNER a |
agreement, it is thought certain, will
begin under favorable aspices as soon
as the French and American experts
complete the list of products on
which France will Professionally grant
minimum tariff
The negotiations will be undertaken
as if they had begun last August be-
fore France raised her tariff duties
and American products will be grant
ed the minimum rates then existing,
except in cases where they were raised
under new schedules. In each case
the United States will be put on the
same footing as Germany.
Attaches of the American embassy
have been at work with French eX-
perts in preparing a list of articles,
so that decree granting the United
States minimum duties on these arti-
cles can be issued at an early date.
The work is extensive, involving the
study of long intricate specifications,
and may take three or four days. At
any rate the decree is expected at
latest early next week, Whereupon
negotiations can be opened.
Another French note may be sent to
Washington in the meantime, but it
will be a purely formal document, in
tended to establish clearly the French
viewpoint as to the basis of the
negotiations.

WASHINGTON Oct. 81 RJ-Recall
of Rear Admiral Thomas P. AIagruder
from command Of the fourth naval
district at Philadelphia resulted from
'his recent utterances" and CORE
spondence relative, I to his published
criticism of the navy, it was announc-
ed today by Secretary Wilbur, who
said he would accord serious consid-
eration' to any request from the adj
miral for an investigation of the cpl
sode.
The secretary added that thus far
he has not received any such request.
Neither was comment available at the
White House on Magruder's reported
request that President Coolidge re-
woke the recall order and grant the
admiral an interview. 1t was believed,
however, that the president would
hesitate to take the matter out of the
naval secretary's hands.
simultaneously with Secretary Will
bur's statement that the order to
Magruder wa snot punitive" but "ad-
ministrative,' Rear Admiral R. H.
Leigh, chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton, made public correspondence be-
tween the department and Magruder
following his critical magazine article.
Leigh said Admiral Magruder had
either evaded or answered unsatiSfac-
torily the IL questions put to him by
the department in its quest for infor-
nation to support Magruder S article.
Declining to forecast whether fur
ther disciplinary action would be tax
en- against Magruder, Secretary Will
bur in formal statement said:
TT is proper to say that the re-
ASSIGNMENT of Admiral Magruder has
resulted from his recent utterances
and from the official correspondence
relating thereto, but no punitive ac-
ton has been taken, nor will any be
taken, on the article published in the
Saturday Evening Post.
GAS to the other and subsequent ut
teranceS make no statement at this
time, as I am now more interested in
ascertaining whether or not the navy
can benefit by Admiral Magruder'S
knowledge or experience in regard to
naval organization and naval econ
omy."
Rear Admiral Juliano L. L. Latimer,
president of the naval examining board
and former judge advocate general Of
the navy, will succeed Magruder at
Philadelphia, although plans were vir-
tually complete to give him command
of the Brooklyn navy yard.
Admiral Magruder is expected here
during the week of November and
his next assignment to duty will de-
pend upon the outcome of his confer
ence with Mr. Wilbur.

hurt it in the eyes of the public"
"For the first time in history the

that he had nothing more to say about
the matter at this time.
Mr.. Wilburs visit to the White House
was for the purpose of delivering to
