French Threat. Antitariff feeling against the U. S. ran particularly high in France. There U. S. Ambassador Walter Evans Edge who as a New Jersey Senator had consistently voted for all maximum duties, got a bitter taste of the foreign by-product of his party's tariff policy. Last week at a Chamber of Commerce dinner in the Roubaix-Tourcoing woolen district, Ambassador Edge heard this direct threat from a potent French speaker: "European nations stand together on one point-if the United States closes her markets, these countries will consider themselves justified in following the same steps...

It condemns the professional who publishes a book simply because it stands on the border line of decency, and exploits every possible titillation of his product. But the companies which subterraneously produce smut and near-smut, as a regular business, stand on a very different footing from the reputable bookseller who incidentally procures for a client a copy of a book for which he asks.
