i. S. FIRMS FACING
LOSS IN CANADA
$25, 0o0,0 900 Annual Drop in
Exports Seen as Result
of Canadian Tariff.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A Commerce Department study Of the
Canadian tariff revision forecasts that
the higher duties may result in Amer
lean concerns losing $25,000.000 an
nually in exports to the Dominion.
Assistant Secretary Klein, leading
authority on foreign and domestic COM
merce, in announcing the findings OF
the study last night, said exports equal
ling approximately per cent OF the
1880 shipments to Canada would be
"imperiled" by the changes.
Last year Cana da absorbed American
goods valued at $659, 1925. 900. while
United States total exports amounted
to about s3,5oo,oo0, 900.
No Protest to Be Made.
, Klein made his statement after Secre-
tary of State StimSon announced no
protest would be made to Canada over
the revision because this country con-
sidered tariff as a domestic question
exclusively.
Canada, Klein suggested, made the
revision in an effort to alleviate its I'M
employment situation. He added 1t was
obvious the Dominion was putting her
self in favorable position" for confer
ences on reciprocal tariffs among the
British dominions next FAN. He re-
called that Canada was economically q
new land and had been using "a high
protective tariff to develop more even
ly balanced economic status. Excess
Sive seasonal variations, he continued
made such policy inevitable as q
means of equalizing employment irreg-
ularitieS.
American investments in Canada
Klein noted, amounted to between
$500, 100000 and $4,000, 000,0 900, while
those of British interests amounted to
about $4,000, 100000.
Coal Rates Cited.
The statement did not designate all
commodities affected, but 1t was re-
called that anthracite coal, hitherto on
the free list, was assessed 40 cents a
ton as compared with IS cents charged
on British coal and that oranges were
taken from the free list and taxed IS
cents cubic foot, or approximately 10
cents a box It, was also noted that
the duty on bituninous coal. Of which
Canada has been taking about $25,-
100000 worth annually from the
United States. was increased from SO
cents to rs cents ton.
Other Government experts pointed
out that during the last seven years
Great Britain had increased her an
thracite to Canada.
Canada last year took approximately
$10.00O,O00 worth of American oranges
and during the first four months OF
this year the number of crates exported
to the Dominion nearly doubled the
1880 exports.
Commerce officials said that only time
would tell just what final effect the
tariff changes would have. While
business IN a number Of lines Is
threatened, they added, conditions might
arise to wipe out the danger in some
of them at least.

LONDON, May 7.--An agreement has
been reached on many Of the details
in extraterritoriality negotiations with
China, Foreign Minister Henderson told
the House Of Commons yesterday, but
a serious obstacle to their speedy con-
clusion has arisen in connection with
certain important treaty ports.
The British government contends
that these must be excluded from pro-
visions Of a new treaty until changes
are made in their municipal admins
tration to meet the new situation Gre
ated by abolition of extraterritorial
rights. Other world powers also arc
concerned in this matter.
Great Britain has suggested that a
special commission be created to study
the whole problem of reserved areas,
but the Chinese government has not
yet accepted this proposal.
