AMERICA’S TARIFF.
RETALIATION BY CANADA By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 1, 5.5 p.m. Ottawa, May 31. The Dominion Customs Department has ordered collectors to collect tariffs of twelve cents a bushel on wheat, fifty cents a barrel on flour and twenty cents a bag on potatoes on importations from the United States. The first announcement of this step was made at Windsor, Ontario. Later the Customs Minister (Mr. Wigmore) denied it, but enquiry to-day reveals that the 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 I Assn.
