CHILE-ARGENTINE

TARIFF WAR ..

(THROUGH. REUTER'S AGENCY.].

VALPARISO, April 6. The tariff war between Chile and the Argentine has developed into an economic tragedy.

The British controlled Argentine Trans-Andine Railway has issued 4a ultimatum to the Chiloan: Gov ernment informing them that un- Joss commerce between the two coun- tries is restored, the railway will be closed down on April 20,

The receipt of this ultimatum was officially announced by the Chilean Government to-day.

If the railway carries out its threat, it will moan cutting the only railway communication be tween the two countries,

The attitude of the Trans Andine Railway is due to the fact that trade has been nullified since Chile placed a prohibitive tax upon Argentina cattle, with the result that the railway has lost over £1,000,000 in froights.
