" FAVOURED NATION " TREATMENT.
WHISKY DUTY. (Received April 12, 8.5 a.m.) WASHINGTON, 11th April. In deciding a whisky duty case, the Customs Court incidentally held that the so-called "favoured nation" clause existing in commercial treaties between the United States and Britain and other European Powers does not restrict the action of the United States in effecting reciprocity with Canada. The whisky importers' claimed that the same duty was payable on English whiskies as on French, but the- court rejected the claim, holding that the "favoured nation" clause did not apply to England. Consequently, political circles declare that America cannot be compelled to grant to other nations concessions made in the Reciprocity Agreement, citing the above as proof of their contention.
