The salient features of the new import restriction law are as fol. lows
1.-The import restriction is not made according to countries made by fixing a certain limit for each article. 2-The application of the import restriction enables the Govern. ment to prohibit the import of any article or commodity: group when it exceeds a cer- tain price and quantity or weight. 3.---The new legislation is effec
