FRENCH REPLY
TO UNITED STATES
DRAMATIC INCREASE IN DUTIES.
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)
PARIS, July 26
France lias dramatically increased her duties on about sixty branches of her American imports by amounts reaching as high as eight hundred per cent.
The question is being raised as to whether this is a breach of the tariff truce and is the beginning of a great trade war. r l no American commercial attache here states that millions of dollars worth of American exports are effected. The French tariff, in many instances, becomes a prohibitive one. The first notification of the rise was in a journal circulating among the French Customs officials. It is understood that the increases are intended as a counter to the heavy fall of the dollar.
