OTTAWA STUDIES FRENCH TARIFF Opinion is Canada Not Af- fected to Same Extent as U.S A Ottawa, Sept. 16.--Tariff experts of the Government have started an ex- amination into the new French tariff and its effect upon Canadian trade. From the information which they have received so far the situation is rather obscure but the opinion is expressed that Canada will not be affected nearly the same as the United States. The Franco-Canadian treaty is still in operation and any changes made in the general fiscal policy of France are subject to it. The preference which that treaty extends will, it is said here, unquestionably be perpetuated. Under this treaty France extends to Canada, its minimum tariff on a wide list of commodities. On others, it guaran- tees that the tariff shall be as low as that accorded the United States. There is no doubt that the ratio of preference unde will be maintained but as to how other commodities in respect of which Can- ada is on pgr with the United States, will be affected, inquiry is now being made.
