FRENCH CHAMBER
RAISES AUTO TARIFF
American Manufacturers Say Low.
Priced Heavy Cars Will

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 16.--From 10 to so per
cent higher tariffs on American auto
mobiles became effective today under a
bill passed quickly by the Chamber OF
Deputies and the Senate in night ses-
sions last night.
The bill was squeezed through the
Senate between arguments on the bud
get. The government commended the
law was intended merely to simplify the
customs routine by changing from ad
valorem to specific duties, but the pre-
amble to the bin and the arguments in
Parliament were based upon the theory
that the French auto industry needs
more protection.
American makers who are affected
by the new tariffs said that the low
priced heavy car would suffer most.

grip on the whole complicated Franco
Italian problem with its many ramin-
cations.
One Of the first developments Of next
week, 1t is understood. probably will be
the issuance Of an italian statement
outlining Rome's naval requirements.
Thus the series OF announcements by
the fiVe powers in the conference will
be completed. It was said this state
ment will again present Italy's desire
for a radical reduction Of ornaments.
but at the same time will make clear
that she insists on having the right TO
equip herself with naval armament
equal to that OF any other continental
power.
For preparation Of this projected state
ment Foreign Minister Grandi aban-
doned his usual week end trip to the
country in order to spend tomorrow
consulting with his advisers and draft
ing the document.
Another important event of next week
will likely be a meeting between Foreign
Minister Gandi and Premier Tardieu of
France. This probably will be irnmedi-
ately after the French premier returns
from Paris on Wednesday. The posi-
bility Of this meeting has somewhat
strengthened hopes that a solution may
be found for the parity problem.
The conctliators In approaching this
Franco-Italian problem are taking into
consideration the whole range of sub
JectS involved and are exploring the
possibilities OF a political compromise.
Such a political agreement might take
the form OF pact of security of some
sort. 1t might even deal with adjust
