ECENTLY 0i France increased the duty on American goods to approximately the same‘ rate as American duty on French goods. by way of» evening things up. Accordingly the Ameri- can press and American trade com- .plained bitterly about the unfair- ness the French people. Whether Congress will be petitioned to retaliate by further raising the American duty or the French gov- ernment be asked to reconsider its decision remains to be seen. At any rate the French move is regarded as a most unfair proceeding.

» The American view point is pecu- liar. They have the highest protec- tive tariff of any country in the world. They are protecting their in- dustries as no other country is do-

ing and as a result they have beat-

They send into Canada over a low tariff wall industrial and even agricultural prod- ucts. while they retain a prac- tically prohibitive tarifi’ wallagainsti
