Prevents . Dumping of J War Ma terials, Bought From America, Into This Country. By David Lawresre (CooynshW. 1921. by The Joexnal) Washington, Aug. 13. Members of congress have been astonished this week by the disclosures that the French govj ernment had attempted to impose a tar iff duty on war materials shipped to France during the 'war. - Congress learned for the first time that France insisted that if the Amer lean government attempted to carry, back to the United States the supplies remaining after the armistice, a duty of about 8150,000,000 would be Imposed. As a consequence of this threat, the American, liquidating commission sold to France for $400,000,000 property orig tnaily .valued at u.700,000,000. . -, ' LOCKS' SCHKX B i ;jsot onry aia irrancoagree to waive a tariff claim when the sale was made. but. promised that the goods would be used for the benefit of the French peo ple in rehabilitating : devastated . areas. Now It turns out that the French govern ment bas sold most ot the property- to speculators and individuals, who are try- ing to Ship the goods to the United States and sell them here at cut prices. ' The house of representatives has blocked the scheme, however, by .adopt ing a resolution imposing a tariff of 90 per eent on all such goods, so. that none of it will be dumped on American shores. ' ' '" So far as the rest of the world is concerned, however, American automo biles and -trucks, leather and 'harness goods, electrical equipment and . other American products which were original ly Intended for the use of the allied armies, will be available at prices, far below those at which American firms are offering their own goods at this time. PROTECT AMERICA FIRMS No explanation was made in congress why the French violated the spirit of its understanding with the American llauidating - commission - and permitted the war material to fall Into the hands of speculators. Indeed, the American commission, of which Edwin B. Parker and General Dawes were members, felt that in dis posing of the American supplies st ap proximately 25 cents on the dollar, they were doing a charitable , thing. Instead, vast quantities have been sold by the French government to houses which have already sent -to the United States, free of duty, over $2,500,000 worth of goods in the month of June alone. . In preventing the entry of this kind of goods hereafter, congress takes the posi tion that it is merely protecting Ameri can firms. PRECEDENT CITED incidentally. It has been disclosed that the British government did not Impose any tariff on goods sent from the United States to Great Britain - for war . pur poses, but waived all tariff claims. The French' government set up as a pre cedent the action of the United States in dealing with surplus stock left in the Philippine islands at the . close of the Spanish-American war, the usual cus toms duties being paid on such. matter of fact, the precedent was not valid, because Spain was the enemy of the United States at that time and not an ally. The 'American . commission, however. realized that it would cost a great deal of money to guard the large supplies,, if they were not disposed of to the French government, and that it would take large number of American " troops to watch the supplies. So the American commission found it self -compelled to accept the French terms, and console itself with the idea that the supplies would find their way in small quantities to the French peo ple wbo would thus be materially as sisted la the work of reconstruction.
