INES says. Inc samoan treaty pears |
handsome testimony to Bismark's rea- |
That SO complete an eQuil- |
ibrium should be established Is much /
more than We could have expected from
him. That lie quietly submitted to the
prohibition of arms and alcohol, and 10
the land clauses is probably due to
British influence. Their insertion IN
such a treaty is a remarkable event III
the history of the relations OF civilized
with seml-civilized races.
The Standard says: While it Is good
theoretically, it is likely that difficulties
will arise. In any case provision IS made
for revision.
The German Journals without excep-
ton, denounce the treaty as severely as
they dare. Both Radical and Conserva-
tives call it German retreat"
