The Paris resolutions declare the Allies agree that the benefit of most favored nation treatment will not" be 'granted enemy Powers during a number of years. How far will 'war after war' obtain?' "Investigation reveals that the United State In the last normal year before the war, 1913, sent 77.61 per cent, of Its exports to the belligerent countries and derived 72.83 per cent, of Its Imports from them. Therefore 'an sweeping change of tariff navigation or financial policy of either group of Allies may eerlously affect the prosperity of the United State In which foreign trade is a vital element. "The foreign trade of the United States for a' century has .Increased In a world of relaxing trade restrictions. If the members of cither the Allies or tho Central Kconomlc Alliance seek by dif ferential tariffs to prefer each other and their respective colonies, a discrimina tion against the products of the United Status will automatically be created. If special shipping arrangements are car ried co far as artificially to create lower freight rates for Allies than for neutral commerce, the parity of ocean freight charges to and from American ports, as compared with to and from European ports, which has been one cause of toler ation of American dependence upon for eign carriers, will be disturbed. What ever may be the result of the Paris res olutions, manufacturing enterprise in tho allied countries looks forward to preferential advantages In those coun tries which have shared the burdens of war." Asking whether either the Entente or the Central Kconomlo Alliance, particu larly if tho United Kingdom adopts either a revenue or protective tariff, will continue to nccord most favored nation treatment to tho United States or wilt demand cxcIuhIvo concessions under tlio American tariff as the price of favorable ndmleslon of American products to their markets, the report says : "Appreciation of tho necessity of re taliatory weapons If the great Industrial nations should embark upon a policy or trade preferences and discriminations is Indicated in recent American legisla tion." Attention Is railed to the Allies' policy by direct subsidy to foreign trade und Its possible effect upon American over sea enterprise, nnd the report says: "Tho recovery of a portion of the American gold reserve which supports an unprecedented structure of domestic nnd foreign credit Is essential to tho res toration of Kuropean prosperity nftcr tho war, .and this would logically kcciii to lw one effect of tho economic alllancs now being devised and the plans being laid ... more Intensive competition which will bring back the trade which by the curtailment of European production and competition has given American mer chandise a greater access to European markets and a larger share of 'neutral markets.
