DENIES TARIFF REPORT FROM PARIS Rejects French Proposal to Fix Valuations for Duty Purposes. By the Assoclated Press. The State Department issued a state- ment yesterday announcing the rejec- tion of the Paris proposal for French experts to fix the valuation for duty purposes on_articles exported to this country and denying that American ap- praisers fixed the valuations in accord- ance with production costs in the United States. The statement was issued in view of “incorrect reports emanating from Paris regarding tariff questions,” the depart- ment announced in making public a summary of a communication to the French government October 16, reject- ing the French proposal. ‘The French proposal was rejected be- cause under the tariff act of 1922 the Amcrican appraisers are charged with the valuation of imported goods, sub- ject to appeal to_the board of general appraisers or the United States Customs Court. “The communication to the French government,” the statement read, “made it clear that the government 6f the United States, while regretting that it could not adopt the procedure proposed regarding valuations by French experts, would give careful consideration to any alternative procedure proposed by the Freneh government that met with’ the requirements of existing American and French law.” Our Uptown Bank 1333 G St. N.W.
