Washington Sees Hope

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.-The conciliatory character of the last French note in the exchange with the United States on the tar im question became more appar- ent today. when the State Depart ment made public the communica-

fcontinned from Page One.) public at the same time of the French aide memoire dated Sep tember 15, and the American re- ply.
 It rejects the figures of the 1921 export trade as q proper basis of comparison because France was then suffering, it declares, from devastation and was incapable of exporting normally.
 The September 30 memoire says that if French exports had not suffered regrettable restriction since 1913 by the high rates of the Fordney Tariff. and by the manner in which these rates were applied. the export figures of s136.0O0, 900 in 1913 should have risen to s2O0.000.O00 in 1926 in. stead of the s152.OOG, GOO that was reached.
 Reciprocity Is Sought
 The essence of the first French memorandum made public today is that France is willing to nego- tiate with the United States on the basis of reciprocity and that as soon as the Washington gov ernment would agree to that as the basis of negotiations, France would reduce her rates of Aug ust 30 50 per cent.
