respect to Czechoslovakia It has requested that the break in the tariff relationship between this country and be listed for discussion at a tariffs and trade conference ing in Geneva September 17 The effect of the cutting off of tariff concessions will be to deny competitive advantages to goods which they now have in the American market A statement among the other governments said that the U S
