4 RECIPROCITY DUE EOR FAIR HEARING Lack of Immediate Enthusiastic Response Unlikely to Squelch Issue. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. reciprocity which has beeVi proposed by Premier of Canada has awakened no enthusiastic response from the Coolidge administration. but this does not mean the issue will be squelched easily. For the proposal has come at a more opportune time than any occasion since the Taft administration.

The whole subject of the tariff is go mg to be opened up at the next session of Congress unless, of course, between now and next December some of the criticism of the present tariff is allayed by the operations of the Tariff Commission on the flexible provisions of the law. Downward Revision Seen. As one of the commissioners used to say. the flexible provisions have been like an elbow flex only upward. Since that time the President, who was not at all in sympathy with that policy, has reconstituted the commission, and the expectation is that there will be some downward revisions.

Whether these will be sufficient to remove the objections to th'e present tariff law is. of course, doubtful. For the fact is the Democrats are getting ready to make a general assault on the tariff and they will use the reciprocity proposals of Canada as an entering wedge to secure reconsideration of the whole tariff law. The Democrats will be fortified with all the arguments used by Presidents McKinley and Taft, both Republicans, in advocating reciprocity with Canada. The possibility of reprisals on the part of Canada has been suggested as one reason for a frank discussion of the whole problem.

The existence of a friendly relationship between the United States and Canada has always made possible an intimate interchange of views, but now that Canada has a Minister in the United States and there is an American Minister at Ottawa, the opportunity for the negotiation of an agreement through diplomatic channels is better than it has been. Re-examination Likely. American business is so vitally related to the prosperity of Canada that the first expressions of hostility to the plan are not likely to prevent a discussion, especially if Canada is at all inclined to press the issue. The fact that the United States willing at one time to make a reciprocity I agreement and that the Canadians declined will make it easier to consider here than if the situation had been reversed. I I The precedent will count strongly in favor of re-examination, though the administration's troubles with the farmers In the West over the veto of the McNary-Haugen bill are such that there is little disposition to add to them by removing such tariffc as do exist on agricultural products.

If by reciprocity is meant a recognition of certain barriers and an ellmi- nation of others, there is a possibility of agreement. The question finally will resolve Itself on the political effect inside the United States of a re- moval of tariffs which certain sections, i influential in the next elections of will wish to see retained. fCooyrtrht. 1927 I DISTRICT MAY MERGE ALL LAWS ON SIGNS Commissioners to Consider Separate Code and Changes in Existing Regulations. Consolidation of all laws and regulations relating to signs of all kinds into a separate code, as well as several proposed changes in existing regulations, will be considered by the District Commissioners at their semiw'eekly board meeting tomorrow morning.

The principal change would give the commissioners authority to issue special permits for the erection of signs having an area of 400 square feet on buildings 110 feet high. Although existing regulations prohibit the erection of billboards, an amendment is recommended w-hlch would prevent the replacement of any billboard now standing which is removed ln the future.

Italian Caution to Jugoslavia Also 1 9 Denied.

BELGRADE. March 21 the British nor Italian minister has given Jugoslavia any warning regarding the danger of Jugoslav revolutionaries Inciting revolt in Albania, says an official statement by Foreign Minister Peritch. This denial is confirmed from a high diplomatic source. The report that such action had been taken was published in the Rome newspapers. The minister invited the fullest investigation by International experts into the actual status of the national defense, which, he declared, establish that it in no way exceeded normal limits.

Because of persistent raids by Comitadjis, it is pointed out in official quarters, more troops have been kept on the southern frontier than before the great war, but that the present dispositions have not varied since 1920. The authorities understand that the Italians regard with suspicion engineer battalions engaged in roadmaking and railroad construction in Macedonia. In this connection, it is declared these forces have been so employed for the past three years, the object being to save expense, wdiich otherwise would fall heavily on the ministry to transport.
