TARIFF AGREEMENT
SEENBy OFFICIAL
French Commerce Minister
Believes. U. S. Dispute
Will End Amicably.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
PARIS, October 5.-Maurice Bokan-
owski. French minister of commerce.
today expressed himself as entirely
optimistic as to the outcome or the
Franco-American tariff negotiations.
In saying so today, he remarked
that he thought no progress could be
made by polemics over theoretical
principles. Each country had its con-
yictions as to how tariffs should be
constructed. but the money value or
the imports affected by the new
French tariff were so small. he de-
clared. that a practical way out must
be found.
The calculations of the ministry OF
commerce show that about $4,000. 900
OF imports from the United states are
affected by the minimum rate given
to Germany under the recently signed
Franco German commercial agree
ment, The value of these imports
may be even considerably less, NJ.
Bokanowski added.
French government figures and
American Government figures on i'm
ports are not far apart. NJ. Bokan-
owsk: believes The calculations Of
the Washington Department of Com
merce gave a maximum OF $4,000, 900
as the total value of the goods which
might come to France if the CONNER
cial treaty rates were applied. At any
rate, M. BokanOwski said he was
sure a satisfactory arrangement could
be made.
