Sir:-
In further reference to your letter "865/10" of
the 7th January last we beg to inform you that 2250
cases of the Canned Salmon in question having arrived
in Havre on the 18th January per the steamer Menelaus
and the certificate of Canadian origin having been
submitted to the Customs Authorities in Havre, the
benefit of the minimum tariff was refused to the goods
but the Director in Havre not having final authority
in the matter the question was referred to the Chief
of the Administration in Paris, who, we regret to say,
also declined to admit the goods at the low rate of
duty.
In order to expedite matters as much as possible
we enclose herewith a copy of our letter to you of the
7th January and also a copy of the letter which we
wrote
The Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs.
