Bismarck ON the Commercial Policy OF
France.
The recently published Red Book OF Austria con-
tains the text Of Prince Bismarck's despatch OF
April 20, 1872, in relation to the action of the
Austro-Hungarian government upon the PROPOSE
tion OF france for modification of the Franco
Austrian Treaty of Navigation OF December II,
1866, and OF Tariff of the Treaty or Commerce OF
the same date The following synopsis OF the de-
spatch is furnished by Mr.. Elliott Acting Chief Of
the Bureau OF OF Statistics:-
The German Chancellor expresses his warm In
terest IN the communication wherein Austria an
nomnced s that she mad for general reasons rather
tnan from considerations affecting her own in
terests, declined to accede to the French proposi
tl0n. He regards this action OF the tro-Hun-
and other European States for the reason that the
treaties which France in this case proposes to
modify continue In force until 1875, longer period
than the similar treaties OF France with any other
country have to run. so long as these treaties
with Austria are in force the rights therein guar
anteed 60 that Power VIII be enjoyed by all cOun-
tries whlch are entitled to be treated by France
on the same footing as the most favored nation.

mon Interest OF oil the European States that the
commercial treaties concluded by France at q
former period shall remain in force until public
opinion IN France mas overcome the now prevail

1t Is to be looked on as a fortunate circum-
stance for the commercial development OF Europe
that the government OF the State to which the
present situation has accorded so decisive an IN
nuence on the pOlitfc0cOmmercial development OF
Europe clearly recognizes the obligation this situa-
ton imposes and is ready to discharge it."
