Fears Tariff War as France Delays Porto Rican Coffee Duty
A Paris cablegram to the State Department says France has delayed for another month the Paris decree imposing maximum duties on Porto Rican coffee. The extension aims to keep negotiations with Washington alive, hoping for relief under the Dingley act for French champagnes. The move risks hurting Porto Rican farmers and raises the possibility of a broader tariff conflict. Meanwhile, Central American peace delegates visited Mount Vernon, laid a wreath on George Washington’s sarcophagus, toured the mansion, and resumed talks without a conclusion on the draft treaty.
