TARIFF ON WOOLLENS
BRITISH REQUEST TO U.S. (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 11.20 a.m.WASHINGTON, Mon. The House Ways and Means Committee made public a letter from the British Ambassador, Sir Esme Howard, which transmitted to Congress a request from the West Riding of England Chambers of Commerce, that there be no further increase in the import duties on tops, yarns and woollen and worsted tissues. The letter said the Chambers of Commerce represented three-fourths of the wool and textile industries of the United Kingdom, and that their views were that the present rates were adequate to cover the differences between the relative costs of production between the two countries. The organisations also pointed out that any increase in tariff would be contrary to the opinions expressed in the Geneva resolutions, which favoured a lowering of tariff barriers, and also contended that exports from the United States to the United Kingdom exceeded the exports from the latter to the United States.
