Taft weighs tariff cuts for Canada and France in stalled talks
After nearly four hours with tariff advisers President Taft had not decided on extending the 26 percent reduction to Canada and France. Canada is described as obstructive, with Ottawa left little room to grant favored status, while France seeks a settlement allowing its goods to enter under the 25 percent clause.
