LACE TARIFF MAY
 STIR UP REACTION
French May RctaIiate By Heavier Duty on American Automobiles
 Imported in That Country

Imported in That Country
 Paris, March 26 Pt-Three hun drcd per cent increase in the new American tariff measure on lace, whether machine or hand made, it is feared here, may have an unfav- orable effect on the French parlia- ments handling of the American automobile problem.
 Twenty thousand lace makers of Calais protested to Premier Tardieu today against the new American tariff rates which they said were tantamount to an embargo. Work CTS of Lyons also are expected to protest.
 French eXportation of lace to the United States annually reaches the sum of $3,500,000.
 Deputy Scapini, has made efforts to soften the harshness of the pro- posed increases in duty on American automobiles and has introduced two bills scaling down the projected tariff. But it is predicted ip some circles that the increased lace tariff may result in the blocking of his movement.
