AMERICAN PORK
Not UnalterabIy Shut Out from Germany
still "A show.


BERLIN, January 9j.-The repeal OF
the prohibition against American pork
is now regarded as within a short dis
lance OF accomplishment. The weight
of the speaking throughout the debate
in the Reichstag was all on the side Ol 4
change in the law. No prominent de-
fender of the probationary law In the
Reichstag yentured to deny that the re-
peal of the law would be a beneht 10 th'
masses. which are now paying hlgh
prices for meat, even garbage being dear
Several members Immediately after
the division on the question, congratn-
lated Mr.. Phelps. the |. ). Minister on
the early prospect OF the abolition ol
the prohibitory law, or at least modi-
fcation OF the measure.
Receiving further congratulations 70,
day. Mr. Phelps said: There "oulu
not even have been Il minority OF twenty
seven against the motion II the oppo-
sition had waited little. II the motion
had been made by supporter OF the
Government the result might have oeen
different: But how could the GoVern-
mert lot a combination OF the Frcisin-
nipe and Socialist parties dictate lts
policy on such an important question:
Mr.. Phelps added that he had long
known that the government was ready
10 modify the restrictions Ia regard 10
American pork as soon as the precau-
tlons taken by the American authorizes
seemed sufficient TO insure the health
of the German people. He knew how
carefully the Berlin Foreign ONCE
studied the German Consul's reports on
American products, and the sanitary
regulations regarding them. The Gov
eroment. he said. was not AFRAID OF
cooked American pork, but only Of the
uncooked article.
Mr.. Windthorst's declaration that thc
Center party waited only for the taxing
~ suficient precautions In America
when the party would support the de,
mand for a repeal, brought the end oi
the prohibition within sight. In MI
Phelps' opinion Herr Barth's manage
ment OF the motion was admiraoie.
IL is now probable that at any rate tne ne
nrobibition against ham and bacon ~'l'
be repealed. the decision Of the Bundes-
rath alone being required for the taHine
of such step.
