Trade Parleys Reveal
European “Gypping”
The propensity of European
nation? for attempting to get
the best of Uncle Sam on every
possible occasion ha? again
been revealed in connection
with the trade parleys institut
ed recently by it he United
States in an efifort o revive in
ernational commerce.
It appears from Washington
reports that some ,of them have
adopted the cute practice of
boosting up their tariffs or im
posing restrictions against
American products before en
tering negotiations. Then then
cffer to reduce or remove them
to secure concessions for them
selves.
Germany is said to have com
menced the practice by means
of controlled imports from this
country, after renouncing her
most favored nation treaty
with the United States. France
is also mentioned in reports as
one of the nations that is in
creasing her tariffs on Ameri
can goods.
The efforts to gyp this count
ry by such methods recently
caused Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull to issue a warning to
the effect that nations that
mark up their tariffs on the eve
of the so-called “give and
take” parleys with the United
States may find that there will
be no parleys as far as they
are concerned.

Territory Sues Ketchikan
Company for Freight Tax
The Territory of Alaska is
suing the Citizens Light, Pow
er and Water company of
Ketchikan for 10 cents a 'ton on
all the fish or freight handled
over the docks of its subsidiary,
the Ketchikan Cold Storage
company, according to the
Ketchikan Chronicle. The sit
uation is explained by that
journal is as follows:
Territorial laws provide that
the Territory is entitled to col
lect 10 cents a ton for all
freight handled or stored by a
dock within the city limits.
Although the dock company
charge: $1 a ton for freezing
and storing fish, whether fresh,
frozen or mild-cured, it claims
the charge is not for wharfage
but for either storing or freez
ing the fish. The Territory,
on the other hand, claims that
the $1 charge is in the nature
a wharfage charge and tha; i.
is entitled to collect the 10 cent
a ton tax. The tax, however,
is rebated to the city.

Canada Gives Aid To
Alaskan Airplane Service
Ottawa reports last week
brought the interesting an
nouncement that the Canadian
government has granted per
mission to the Pacific-Alaskan
Airways, a branch of the Pan
American Airways, to use the
domonion government air fa- ,
cilities at White Horse, Yukon ]
Territory, as part olf a project- ]
ed Alaskan air service.
The initial iplan of 'the comp- j
any is to establish a service
from Fairbanks, across Canad
ian territory ibo Juneau. The
proposed route would traverse
approximately 300 miles of
Canadian soil.
Ultimate direct service be
tween the northwestern Amer
ican states and Alaska is also
in view, the reports said.
It is said that the Canadian
authorities would like to see
Canada herself provide a serv
ice from the U. S. border to
Whitehorse, but as present
conditions make this imposs
ible the Pacific-Alaskan Air
ways will be permitted to
maintain an international serv
ice between Canadian and
American points, but not be
tween points in Canada.
This cooperative action by
Canada follows a precedent es
tablished some years ago,
when Canada wa; given per
mission by the United States to
route her proposed trans- con
tinental air service from St.
Johns, N. B., to Montreal by
the shortest route across the
state of Maine.
