analvzes the new Bu slan customs tariff
which was promulgated January 25 The
paper says the Increase lr fates over the
existing tariff Is > rcr cent for the groat

for many important groups The tariff It

priced articles are taxed less than the
higher priced ones Differential treatment
against Imports overland compared to those
brought by sea averages 20 per cent on coal

far larger than over the exLstlng tariff law
The new rates If applied would seriously
cripple mutual commerce between Germany
and Russia but the paper hopes that mu-
tual concessions will obi late a tariff strug-
