 54 STAT.] GREAT BRITAIN-RECIPROCAL TRADE-NOV. 17, 1938 SCHEDULE II NOTE: Articles the growth, produce or manufacture of the United States of America specified in this Schedule shall not, on their importa- tion into Newfoundland, from whatever place arriving, be subject to duties or charges of any kind other or higher than those specified in the third column; nor shall the said articles be subject to duties or charges of any kind which exceed the duties or charges applicable to like articles the growth, produce or manufacture of any territory under the sovereignty of His Majesty the King or under His Majesty's suzerainty or protection by more than the margin of preference indicated in the fourth column. The provisions of the foregoing paragraph shall not apply to those rates of duty or margins of preference marked with an asterisk. In respect of these items it is recognised that the equilibrium of the Agreement would be disturbed if the rates of duty or margins of preference so marked were increased above the rates or margins shown. In such a case it is agreed that the Government of the United Kingdom would, after consultation with the Government of Newfoundland, enter into discussions with the Government of the United States, not less than thirty days before the date on which such increased rate of duty or margin of preference becomes effective, with a view to restoring the equilibrium of the Agreement. It is further agreed that the Government of the United Kingdom would adopt the same procedure if a preference were accorded on any article specified in this Schedule to any territory under the sovereignty of His Majesty the King or under His Majesty's suzerainty or protec- tion which does not enjoy such a preference on the day of the signa- ture of this Agreement. The provisions of this Schedule shall be interpreted as though they had been included in the Newfoundland tariff law in force on the day of the signature of this Agreement by an amendment to that law.
