§ 61. Mr. HEWINSasked the President of the Board of Trade what would be the average incidence of Import Duty levied in the United States on British exports as represented by the proposed tariff recently introduced in the House of Representatives, and calculated on a basis similar to that employed in the Second Fiscal Blue Book?
Mr. BUXTONA calculation on the lines indicated in the question of the average incidence of the proposed tariff on the principal classes of goods exported from the United Kingdom shows that it is equivalent to an average ad valorem duty of about 22 per cent.
§ Mr. HEWINSIs not that figure about the same as that of the German tariff?
