This measure is being made offeC.

and has recently been introduced into
some Of the Western States as a
measure that will relieve banks from
the necessity Of taking losses through
fraudulent credit reports. for there
always will be merchants everywhere
ready and willing to prepare state
ments that will pass muster, even of
careful bank officials who have cut
their eye teeth and are not easily vic

from promiscuous borrowings at diff

even elsewhere. their capacity for
creating losses will be greatly curtail-

j. S. MOVES TO
AVOID FRENCH
War ON TARIFF

WASHINGTON Sept. 90 GA re-
newed American proposal for negotia-
ton of most favored nation COM
mercial treaty to cover trade ex
changes has been communicated to
Paris in an effort by the state de-
l1artment to overt a tariff war with
France.
The. note was said today in official
circles to ilave been framed in the
hope that France would find it pos
sS3le, once a complete explanation of
tie American viewpoint had been
presented at the foreign office, TO
/ eliminate discrimination imposed
sgainst American goods by new tariff
schedules. The American hope even
extends to the early elimination of
these duties pending the negotiation
OF commercial pact founded on
unconditional most favored nation
treatment.
|. The American note is said to be
highly argumentative in character
and to outline fully both the prin-
ciples of international relationship
upon which the American tariff act
is based and specific provisions of
that statute 1t is conciliatOry in
language, even iii pointing out that
French proposals for negotiations of
tariff reciprocity treaty are wholly
unsatisfactory in view Of the i.lunc-
ton laid upon the government by
congress for the equal treatment of
all nations IL tariff questions, pro-
vided there is no discrimination by
any nation against American goods.
Between the lines of the American
note authorization for counter-dis-
elimination contained in section 317
Of the tariff act and to which refer
ence is made, French officials un-
doubtedly will find a definite de-
cision by the Washington admins
tration not to submit without re-
taliation to what it regards as dis
! elimination against American goods
made effective by the new French
schedules
Publication of the American note
has been withheld pending a French
reply. If that reply is unfavorable,
the state department in all likeli-
hood will publish the complete cor
reSpondence on the subject with
| France in order that the American
public may be fully informed as to
/ the situation and support whatever
steps the government decides to
| take.
The note stresses that the Ameri-
can objection is not to the rate Of
duty, which is looked upon official
ly as a matter of French internal
policy, but only to the discrimination
! against American goods as compared
with those imported sfrom other
| countries with which France has
preferential tariff arrangements by
treaty or by special understanding
1t is pointed out that France alone
now discriminates against American
goods and also that the tendency Of
the world is against discriminatory
tariffs as was emphasized in the
recent economic conference at Gen
