This map (which during the last 18 months has been on exhibition at both houses of Parliament in London, the Senate and Chamber of Deputies in Paris, the houses of Parliament in Vienna, Berne and Rio de Janeiro, trade conferences in Berlin, Brussels and Copenhagen, the Bank of England (September, 1926), the Economic Conference, Geneva, the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris, and in numerous other places) may be said to reinforce the conclusions arrived at in the Manifesto of the International Bankers (October, 1926), the Resolutions of the Economic Conference at Geneva, and the Resolutions of the International Conference at Stockholm. All these important bodies agree that the policy of restricting international trade with high tariff barriers is harmful, and is seriously interfering with the Economic recovery of Europe. This model of the tariff walls (which attempts to give a bird's-eye view of the situation in Europe to-day) is designed to emphasize and underline the above warnings. |
