Relations with Germany.
Our relations with tho states of the German
empire are, in some aspects, typical of con
diton OF things elsewhere found in countries
whose productions and trade similar to our
own The close rivalry of competing indus
tries; the influence of the delustvo doctrine
that the internal development OF a nation is
promoted and its wealth increased by policy
which, in undertaking to reserve its home
markets FOR the exclusive use of its own pro
ducers necessarily obstructs their sales in
foreign markets and prevents free access to
the products OF the world; the desire to retain
trade IN tme'worn ruts, regardless OF the
memorable laws of new needs and changed
conditions of demand and supply, and our own
hating hardness in inviting freer exchange
OF commodities and by this means importing
our footing in the external markets naturally
open to u.s. have created situation somewhat
injurious to American export interests, not
only in Germany, where they arc perhaps
most noticeable but in adjacent countries.
1t is not to be forgotten that international
trade cannot be one sided, Its currents are
alternating and it's movements should be hon
estly reciprocal. Without this it almost nee
essarily degenerates into n device to gain ad'
vantage or Contriv noe to secure Dement'S
with only the sembance of return. In our
dealings with other nations ought to be
oman handed and scrunplouslv fair This
should be our policy as producing nation,
and it plainly becomes us as people who
love generosity and the moral aspects of ma
tonal good faith and reciprocal forbearance.
These considerations should not. however.

Our relations with Great Britain, always in
innate and important have demanded curing
the past year even greater share of consider

Of the Behrng sea arbitration tribunal The
Application of the principles laid down by that
august body has not been followed by the re
suits they were intended to accomplish, either
! because the principles themselves lacked in

the two governments on the subject of pre-
