Graee, President of the
Boardof Trade, discussing the toxins
of. the Angio -german commercial
treaty,, aid that the document was 'the
most coriprene,.,ive of any -most -
favored -natio,: treaty now existing. It
particularized, it is said, more than
any trade treaty up to the present
time,
The Beard- of Trade President stat-
ed that the .question of reparations
,vas outside the' a eat,, but that ,Great
Britain maintained that the 26 per
cent. recovery tax is sabjeet to e re
vision `provided some alternative
method ran be produced whicb has
the assent of all the necessary par-
ties and which gives the same amount
of cash to the British Government
with. the sante rights ;o'f priority:"
TIib speaker added that the'British
Government was prepared to favor-
ably consider such, alternatives.
Sir Philip Lloyd-Greame pointed
out that the dominions and colonies
have the power to adhere to the treaty
whenever they wish, and that' there is
a provision in the agreement that as
long as any dominion gives most -
favored -nation treatment to Germany
It should have full rights under the
treaty for a period of two years. The
t'ight to give preference under the
treaty, is maintained intact.
The treaty, he continued, load only
been concluded after consultation by
the Board. of Trade and the Foreign
office with leading shipping and aonr
inorcitt interests and the Federation
of British Inuits es. 'there was
found to be .a striking coricensus, of
opinion that such 0 treaty should be
made and It was .expected that trade
irr 'both countries ; would be greatly
benefitted. Germany also would bene-
fit greatly by the removal of discrini-.
ination against the employment, of
Germans, particularly on passenger
vessels winch, before the war, em -
played several thousand ,Germans as
,dycr: hands.
There were a few .exceptions made
in greeting most -favored -nation treat-
ment, it was said, such as where there
were already existing agreements with
other nations and where Germany' he'd
'already made trade' concessions to
other nations under the agreements
signed as a result of the war.
Under the treaty,'the speaker con-
cluded, Germans' and Englishmen
were granted mutual rights in respect
to person and property in each other's
territory. This will now allow the
Germans to reopen vast numbers of
banks and commercial houses which
nourished in London before the war.
