WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 (AP)
Rejection by France of American
proposals for a, most favored na
tion commercial treaty to cor
rect French tariff discriminations
against American goods brought
the two governments' to the verge
of an open clash today thst, in
opinion of some officials, might
develop into a tariff war.
While the French communica
tion declining the offer was not
made public, it was said authori
tatively at the state department
that there will be little delay in
formulating the American answer
as the tariff act forbids the nego
tiation of treaties as to tariffs on
any basis but that ef equal treat

Washington officials indicated
astonishment that the French for

taken as an indication that they

been no point in suggesting to 'the
Washington government a course
of action it could not follow with

It also is uncertain whether the

So reads the opinion of tne

Peck charged the Times with
publishing two alleged libelous

The Marshfield attorney de
