PARIS, September 27.-No official
reply yet has been received in answer
to the last note addressed to the
United States Government. but the
press continues much stirred over the
American menace Of economic war.
fare.
The American embassy, is Issuing
TODAY the complete text OF all CORE
spondence between the two countries
so far. in order to clear the ground
for the response to the French reply
when it arrives.
The French press is unanimous in
regretting this quarrel directly after
the great welcome given by France
to the American Legion and quotes
literally from the American press, In
dicating that the tariff has become
an important domestic issue In tho
United States also.
Arguments opposed to the Ameri'
can viewpoint are three:
l. The United States asks France
TO give all in return for nothing. the
United States demanding mostfa'
vored.nation treatment while inn
posing on French products the dra-
CONAN duties of the Fordney tariff
law. Between France and Germany,
on the contrary. there is reciprocity.
The Franco-German agreement Is the
result of a bargain, each country ac-
cording the other reciprocal advan'
tages.
2. Germany buys of France more
than it sells. Consequently. Germany
is a profitable customer. Further.
more, the industries of the two coun'
tries are complementary. Germany
has coal and France minerals. Ger
many sells France machinery made or
French iron. This close community
Of interests is the reason why both
countries co-operated in the steel and
potash agreement and now are PLAN
ming chemical and textile agreements
and why they entered into a CONNER
cial treaty. On the contrary, the
United States, which sells twice as
much to France as 1t buys. is a poor
cutomer for France. Between the in
dustries of both countries there Is
intense competition.
8. France made concessions to Ger
many because Germany, being her
debtor, would be enabled thereby
more readily to refund her debt-by
paying indirectly in goods in addition
to direct payments in cash. If the
United States declares a tariff war
on France, France will be almost GER.
tainly unable to repay her war debt,
as she started to do a year ago.

recent award for 100000 vitrified

although the low bidder, was thor.
oughly canvassed.
Satisfied With Results.
Mr.. Whiteford indicated that he was
satisfied with the outcome of the con-
ference and that material improve.
ment in the brick contract situation
probably would result.
Il believe Col. Ladue is going into
this whole matter thoroughly and that
he is going into it right" he said.
No further action is contemplated
by his clients, Mr.. Whiteford said,
pending Commissioner Ladue's study
OF the procedure followed in making
the brick awards and the course
adopted by him to correct the condi.
tons which provoked the complaints.
The conference with the brick manu-
facturers' representatives and the Dis
trict officials was held behind closed
doors. Commissioner Ladue, however,
summarized the deliberations, as fol-
lows:
"Mr. Stringer gave us a discussion
of the brick situation as he sees 1t.
And he gave us something to think
about. Els principal point concerns
the brick specifications which he
claims do not allow the degree Of com.
petition that Government specifica.
tons should. 1t is possible that some
other wording Of the specifications
would be an improvement. We are
going to take that up.
May Revise Specifications.
ST told both Mr.. Stringer and Mr..
Clark, however, that what has hap
pened in the past cannot be changed
now. If the specifications are not
what they should be, we are glad to
know it and will revise them in such
a way as to make them fair to every
body concerned and put them in such
form as to give free competition, with
a view. of course, Of protecting the in
terests of the District.
"As to Mr.. Clark's case, that is over
and done with. We did the best we
knew how on that award. We made
it on our best judgment"
Commissioner Ladue also pointed
out that no charges of irregularities
or favoritism in connection with the
award OF the brick contracts were
made and that no briefs were filed
by Stringer, Clark or their attorney.
