FRANCE EXCLUDES
 MANY J. 5. GOODS
New Duties Four to Six Times Higher on American Exports
OTHER NATIONS FAVORED
A1agnetos, Electric Machinery, Small Hardware, Pumps, Razor Blades, Worked Leathers and Enamcled Ware Affected.

Paris. Sept. LP) - What are said to be prohibitive duties upon a variety of American exports to France have been in force against shipments from United States ports since September 1, it was learned today. The new duties are from four to six times higher under the general tariff now effective than previously.
 The fact came as a surprise to the American embassy on Wednes- day, 1t is stated, the embassy hay ing understood from the French foreign office that the new tariffs were rather more favorable to America than the old schedules The embassy, acting under in structions from the state depart ment, is making energetic repre- sentations to the foreign office for most-favored nation treatment Meantime commodities arriving on vessels which have sailed from America since September 1 will be held in French ports, awaiting the action of the French government.
 Exclude Many Articles
 American importers declare that these new high duties exclude nu- merous articles from competition in France with Germany. England and other countries enjoying most favorable nation treatment. These articles include magnetos, electric machinery, small hardware, pumps, razor blades, clothes pressing and cIothes-malling machines. prepared and worked feathers, and enameled ware.
 An example of the new duty is seen in the case of steel furniture, in which a heavy trade recently has sprung up in France. The duty Tn this instance is increased from one franc 50 centimes and two francs, to eight francs so centimes, This figure is said to be at least 50 per cent of the value of the furni- tnre itself. Fountain pens, on which the duty previously averaged five francs, or 20 per cent of their value, have now been raised 10 80 per cent.
 Competition Unfair
 American business men say that such imports from America cannot compete with the German and Eng fish exporting markets unless the duty is lowered. England automati- cally has the full benefit of the new franco-German commercial treaty which became effective on Septem- her 5.
 It is estimate l at the embassy that 20 per cent of the value of American imports into France are affected. The imports were valued at about S320.o00,00o in 1916.
 American importers are said 10 be telegraphing their customs brokers at French ports not to clear imports arriving on ships which have sailed since August 31. It is that if the French gov does not lower the rates. the goods accumulating in French l ports will be transhipped to other markets, if being probable that none of them will be returned to the United States
