See Menace to Europe's

by CdOle W ue otni'
PARIS, June 8.-For the second time
within week representatives of French
industry and trade have voiced vigorous
protest against the new tariff bill voted
by the United States Congress, and have
addressed themselves to the French gov
eminent, pressing for an appeal and
asking the government to start common
action with other European nations to
defend Europe's commerce.
Confirming the resolution passed
three days ago by the French Chamber
of Commerce, members of the four big
gest groups in French industry-the
Association Rationale D'Expansion
Economique, the Confederation Gen.
erale de la Production Francaise, the
Association De LIndustrie Et De
Horticulture and the Comite DAction
Economiuue Et Douaniere-in meet
ing held in Paris late last night called
the attention Of the government to the
very grave threat Of the tariff bill now
before the American Senate to the
future commercial relations between
France and the United States"
In a motion, adopted unanimously,
they asked the French government to
take immediate steps, with other Euro
pean nations, ito make the Washington
government understand that its tariff
policy is in contradiction to its position
as creditor state"
Acting also in accordance with the
knowledge Of the Chamber of Com
merce these four groups have decided
further to hasten negotiations with
other European industrial concerns to
consider means of defense-and II nee
essary, reprisals-which Europe should
adopt to safeguard her common inter-
ests against such a serious attack on
universal economic solidarity"
