Melons Statement.

Secretary Mellon said: Under the
tariff act of 1922, several commodities
are conditionally free, the condition
being that the country of expectation
imposes no duty on similar commod-
tiles from the United States. An
example is paragraph 1,543 with
reference to cement. On the dutiable
list likewise there are several para.
graphs that make the amount OF duty
dependent upon the rate of duty
assessed by the exporting country on
similar goods from the United States.
ITO keep the collectors of customs
advised as to the rates Of duties as
sessed on merchandise covered by
those paragraphs, the Department of
Commerce advises the Treasury De-
partment of all changes in import
duties by all foreign countries on COM
modities covered by the several para
graphs providing for conditional rates
This information, in turn. Is published
in the weekly Treasury Decisions for
the information of customs officers ana
business interests concerned. The pub
iication of these tariff changes repre-
SCENTS no discretionary act on the part
of the department. Tariff changes of
this character are not uncommon, and
Treasury decisions publishing these
rates similar to the one in question
are issued many times during the
course Of the year and attract little
newspaper comment. The furnishing
Of this information to the customs Of
ficers is a necessary and more or less
routine matter II the information

Orders to Collectors.

The orders were issued to collectors
of customs yesterday over the sigma
lures of the commissioner of Customs
and Seymour Lowman, Assistant Sec
rotary of the Treasury. The order,
known as a Treasury decision, went
to other persons concerned as we'll as
to the collectors of customs.
In effect, the increased duties
against French goods will serve as an
answer to the recent increase in rates
by the French, but no Treasury Off
cial was willing to interpret the action
taken officially as a retaliatory or
reciprocity measure.
"Phe act speaks for itself" saidsone
high Treasury official.
The increased rates on French goods
were made effective as of the date of
publication of the order in the official
publication of the Treasury issued
weekly as Treasury Decisions.
"Any reduction in duty on German
goods" said the order. should be
made applicable to merchandise
shipped from Germany on or after
September 6, 1927"
The action taken by the Treasury
in what has come to be known as
the international trade dispute be-
tween France and the United States
was explained in detail by Secretary
Mellon in a short formal statement
Of two paragraphs.

Gates Situation.

An order by the Treasury Depart
ment increasing duties on certain
French imports to the recent increases
made by France on similar American
products has injected the possibility
of another controversy into the tariff
disagreement between the two coun
tries.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
today characterized the charges on
French and German products as a
necessary and more or less routine
matter"
Declaring that the action of the
Treasury in raising the rates on GER
tain French goods following a recent
increase in French customs duties and
lowering of certain rates on German
goods was prescribed specifically by
the tariff act, but Mellon said there
was no discretion left to the Treasury
whatever. The policy, he Said, had
been fixed by Congress in the 1922
tariff act.
