WASHINGTON, Nov. Indications
multiply to show that the German Gov
ernment is pursuing repressive policy
toward lmportations from tho United
States that in the end may call for retail
aClon. The latest evidence is contained
III report to the State Department from
United States Consul Robertson az Ham
burg. lie says that a movement is beinr
put on foot by the Imperial Government
looking to the complete exclusion of
dried and evaporated apples from tho
United States which arc found to contain
moro than specified amount of zinc,
supposed TO have been taken up from
the zinc frames on which the fruit is
dried. AS a result the trade will Sc
verely suffer.
Ihe Consul suggests that fruit-dryers
change their methods and use wooden
frames. as it is all-important that articles
sent from the United States 10 Germany
should be prepared in every direction 80
as TO ot1er no grounds for complaint on
the part of either German officials or
competing dealers. Such a method
must be justly and successfully used TO
lnJure or destroy our trade. At the same
time the Consul does not admit without
further proof the full extent, by any
means, of the alleged well-advertised
detects IN our food products that are
being claimed in Germany. He is con-
Vlnced that our Government, with proper
representations, will take all necessary
steps for the protection OF the health
full and unadulterated wares of our
exporters from unfair and unreasonable
interference, with offered for sale III the
markets of Germany, and that it will use
every means in its power to bring il
about that restrictions imposed on them
there are such as are actually iustifiabIs
from sanitary standpoint; that they are
not merely arbitrary and are applied to
similar articles when imported from
other countries as well as the United
States.
Enclosures sent went the report from
our Consular agencies show that attacks
made In the German papers on the Amer
lean products have extended to American
seeds, clover, timothy, etc., which are
supposed to have been adulterated and
worthless.
The same Consul transmits complaint
from an importing merchant in Hamburg
against the requirement that all \ neri-
can small arms shall be submitted to
government test and proof before sale.
tie says that the additional cost OF the
process makes it impossible to sell Amer
lean arms IN competition with German
arms. 1nasmuch as Belgium and Great
Britain saved their trade by securing
German recognition of the sufliciency Of
tests made at their own gunshops under
Government supervision, he suggests
that American gunmakers com bine to se-
cure the same privileges.
