High tariffs, they have argued — and mentioned specifically the | United States as an example — are economically unsound and political- 1v dangerous from the viewpoint of raising artificial barriers to world trade. The Daily Telegraph so far was | the only newspaper to comment on | the Hawley-Smoot bill. It £aid today that the bill was the most extreme | app! tion of the policy of protec- tion ever enacted by the United States, and that “it is a dangerous misuse of a valuable principle.” Germans Show Interest i June 16 (UP) — The news ne passage of & American | tariff bill was received here with icting sentiments of alarm and passive interest The majority of German economic observers declared the bill would prove a drawback to international trade. They were joined by many in- dustrialists who complained that the new tariffs would make impossible German exports to the United States. Some of the experts said, however. Germany had no reason to be alarm- ed. They argued that the tariff might l1ead to a rise in production costs in the United States which would be profitable to Germany. Be! France's Attitude | Paris.
