European tariff foes seek united Europe against American trade
At an agricultural congress in Rome on April 15 Count Von Schwerein Loewitz urged a European Zollverein to defend Europe from the United States and rival non‑European nations while pursuing a practical path to a European commercial union. Signor Luzanatti warned that tariffs in Germany, Switzerland and Austro‑Hungary make a common union unlikely and called for world wide cooperation to curb trusts. The discussion touched on Italy’s role and balance of trade, with no immediate agreement as a European customs union and a proposal for a twelve‑member committee to study options against American competition pending next congress.
