Tariff Reciproc ity With Germany Seen as Minor Step
President Roosevelt’s stance on tariff revision remains cautious as plans for a Germany reciprocity treaty are viewed as limited and not disturbing business.

The piece notes strong party divides over tariff policy and the risks of political repercussions in 1908.
