Administration Unwilling to Leave Doubt as to Congress Purpose In Re-enacting Pact. WASHIXOTON, Jan. 2. The Interna tional tariff controversy over the ques tion of admitting wood pulp and paper Into the United States free of duty from all countries having treaties with this Nation guaranteeing "most favored nation" treatment, was passed on to the courts today by the Administra tion. The procedure will be expedited and It Is expected that the Issue soon will reach the United States court of Customs ADDeals. The dlsDUte revolves about section t of the late Canadian reciprocity agreement, the only operative part of the proposed pact, which grants free entry to Canadian wood pulp, print paper and paper board made from wood cut on "unrestricted lands," or land, where no limitations are imposed upon the exportation of tne wood or its products. Importers or tnese commocjLies irora Russia. Germany. DenmarK, norway. Sweden. Austria-Hungary, New Found land and Finland have claimed free entry under "most favored nation' treatment. Most of these countries also have taken up the Question diplomat ically. Pending a settlement, the Treasury Department assessed the duty on the Importations and neld the protests oi the importers In abeyance. To get the Question before the courts, the depart ment today denied formally the ngnt of free entry to any importations ex cert those from Canada. The Treasury Department, it was un derstood, was inclined to arrant the ap. peal of the Importers for free entry, but the President was unwilling to place the paper Industry on the free list when there was doubt In this re spect as to the intent of Congress in re-enacting the Canadian agreement.
