been con Ferring for the past four Days with a View to finding some mutually Satis factory Way of avoiding a Tariff War after March it is evident that no agreement has yet been the to make mutually beneficial Tariff treaties with other countries irrespective of what the United s ates May or i May not if the american repro i Senta Tives were in a position to say j that there would be a revision
