PROPER PRECAUTIONS ON THIS SIDE.
Mr.. Phelps added that he had long known tlaV 'io

regard to American pork as soon "a inc prcoa '
taken BY the American authorities seemeo sui'i0"'
TO insure the health of the German people lie hhe"

sanitary regulations regarding Them The Government,
he said, not afraid of cooked American PORN, u'

would support the demand for a repeal brought tho
end of the prohibition within sight in MI. fheipS
opinion Herr Barth's management OF the motion WAS
admirable. Among the comments by the neWspapers'
the "Post" says: "Customs and trade Considerations
could not lead prohibition but would find expression III

lean pork became necessary, owing 10 the insu'ie'
precautions taken by against tue dangee OF trch

maintained toward America without having delfl-
mental effect upon the relations between Germany anu
the United States. 1t is now probable that al any
rate the prohibition against ham and bacon VIII DC
repealed the decision of the Bundesrath alone being
required for the taking of such step.

the bill purely on it, merits and as necessary
measure of lOnG-delayed justice.
