AMERICAN TARIFF
RETALIATORY CANADIAN DUTIES.
(Rec. June 1, 5.5 p.m.) Ottawa, May 31
The Dominion Customs Department has ordered collectors to collect tariffs of 12 cents a bushel on wheat, 50 cents n barrel on flour, and 20 cents a bag on potatoes, on importations from the United States. The first announcement of this step was made at Windsor, Ontario. Later, ths Minister of Customs, Mr. R. W. Wigmore. denied it, but inquiry to-day re- ee ls that, an old law provided that equal tariffs would be effective immediately any country placed a tariff upon Canadian goods. Thus the Canadian tariff automatically became effective when the United States Emergency Tariff Bill was signed.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
