Changes in Valuation.
Changes in duty valuation system:
A broad advantage to many lines OF
American exports will result from
changes in Canada's system of valu-
ing commodities for duties. These
changes are assured either by trade
agreement itself or by note of the
Canadian government accompanying
it. There has been gradually growing
in Canada a system, taking several
distinct forms, of applying arbitrary
assessments exceeding the invoice
values of imported goods. The re-
sulting charges were materially
higher, in some instances several
times higher. than the nominal duty
rates. On some commodities the
practice meant not merely that the
ad valorem rates were applied on a
higher sum, but that the difference
between the, arbitrary value and the
invoice value had to be paid as a
so-called dumping duty.
These methods of valuing commod-
tiles have caused much complaint on

of course, obtains the benefit OF the
obligation given to Sweden. The
Canadian trade agreement itself pro-
vides for binding on the free list other
classes of wood pulp and number
Of other articles of great Importance.
The articles thus bound accounted in
1929 for about 1921 ,0O0, 900 worth OF
imports from Canada, or A per cent
of our total purchases from that
country.
Total imports from Canada in 1929
of those dutiable articles of which
Canada is our principal foreign sup
plier were valued at about 35,000,-
600. The trade agreement reduces the
duties on commodities valued in the
trade of that year at about $4,000, 900
or somewhat less than so per cent OF
this total. These duty reductions apply
to commodities representing about l6
per cent of our total imports from
Canada in 1929.

products of any non-empire country
shipped to Canada in transit through
American ports will hereafter receive
as favorable treatment by the Cana
dian customs as if they had come di-
rectly over. The Canadian government
has given assurance in a note that it
will sponsor legislation in Parliament
to permit residents of Canada visiting
the United States to bring back with
them free of duty articles for their
personal use up to a value of $100,
a privilege similar to that now enjoyed
by Americans returning from visits to
Canada or other countries.
u. S. Concessions to Canada.
The concessions granted by the
United States in exchange for the ad-
vantages thus secured from Canada
for our agriculture and industry may
be briefly summarized as follows:
/. The binding of the existing free
entry into this country of pulpwood,
wood pulp ana newsprint paper; un-
manufactured wood generally; certain
kinds of simply manufactured wood
such as shingles and lathe; certain
fishery products including Holsters;

2. Reductions in duty, but for speci-
fed quantities on cattle, calves, dairy

excess of the specified quantities will
pay the old rates.

Customs Act Change Seen.
The Canadian note contains definite
undertakings that the government will
sponsor legislation amending the three
sections of the customs act which have
been particularly onerous in such
manner as to afford a very large
measure of relief. The note assures
further that pending such legislation

A point of great significance in con-

her intermediate and treaty rates is
the fact that this means much more
than mere removal OF differentials
heretofore existing against us as
compared with nom British countries.
It does, of course, mean this is in the
case of the commodities where non
British countries are important COM

Canadian market. The removal of the
