WOULD END TARIFF WAR WITH AMERICA Russia Anxious to Restore “Most Favored Nation” Relations. ST. PETERSBURG, May 2L—The desir- | ability of securing the revocation of the imposition by Russia of the maximum duty on American imports levied in re- taliation for the imposition of a counter- vailing duty by the United States upon Russian sugars, which Embassador Mey - er is trying to adjust, is assuming addi- tional importance owing to the fact that the new Russo-German tariff, which goes into effect at the end of the year, will form the basis for a “mest favored na- tion™ clause. That treaty raises the duties on ma- | chinery and other articles in which American exporters to Russia are espe- cially interested and the new general, or maximum, tariff, with corresponding increases, goes into effect simultaneously. | Consequentiy unless the Russo-American | tariff dispute be adjusted American im- ports are destined to bear still further | burdens.
