Berlin, May 20, Explaining the new tariff proposals, heavily increasing the duties on cotton and woollen goods, artificial silk and motor cars, the Minister of Economic Affairs said they were merely transitory and were intended to serve as a weapon of bargaining with other countries with the view to reciprocal reductions. renson for the increases were the heavy burdens on Industry through taxtion, reparations, shortage of capital and high rates of interest. The commercial reasons were that powerful competing countries, those from which Germany drew raw materials had introduced high tariff barriers, the lowering of which were essential to German in- dustry if it was to survive.
3.
The Economic Minister said that the duties on motor cars and tractors was of a special character because foreign manufacturers enjoyed an extraordinary start over the German"mótor industry, there- foré dutles on imported 'moter cars would be higher than other pro- ducts, amounting to about 350 reichsmarks per vehicle. These duties would be reduced in halfyearly stages"to à normal; tariff. The same procedure would be followed for the gradual reduction of duties on tractors...
