CANADA AND GERMANY.
THE CUSTOMS QUESTION
STATEMENT BY CANADIAN MINISTER. Uniteb Press Association. Copyright (Received Jan. 28, 9.18 p.m.) OTTAWA, Jan. 28. The Canadian Minister of Trade and Commerce, the Right Hon. Sir R. J. Cartwright, speaking in the Senate at Ottawa, stated that there had been pourparlers with German officials regarding the surtax on German goods. Canada’s legislation was not directed against Genii any. It was in the power of Germany to obtain more favorable tariff relations with Canada by placing Canada in the same position in regard to the German tariff, which she held before the introduction of British preference, which had caused Germany to shake the mailed fist and put Canada in an unfavorable position to send goods to a Germany. Canada’s surtax followed, * and as Germany was selling seven-fold to Canada compared with what Canada sells to Germany, the latter was beginning to feel the effect.
