| Prince Bismarck at that time succ .ssfully

| The correspondent draws attention to
the fact that section of the German

is point upon which an understanding
| With Great Britain with a view to Joint
action appears indispensable.
Lcndcn, November 24,-'rhe Times COM
menting edtoriaily on the dispatch from
| its b. Rim correspondent saws: 1t is easy
enough to understand that the Germans
are eager to find flaws in the Anglo
American understand .na. For our Ia (.
We have always been aware that there ere
difficulties in the way of adopting tho
open door, as the policy is usually I'M
deIstood here. But we have never for an
instant doubted tho sincerity of the United
States government or its ability to devise
some means of substantially securing the
results aimed at.
Secretary Hay explains that the ordinary
American tariff will be enforced against
everybody. Fer all international purposes
that is the open door policy. Econom
ical pursuits may argue that as the tariff
restricts trade. the door Is only partially
open, but whatever foce that argument
holds 1t Is of purely domestic application. |
Equallty Oh TREATMENT ana apsehee OF III
ferential duties are the essence OF the |
open door policy as between nation and
nation. Revenue Is indispensable and 1t is
to the trading world whether
this be raised at ports OF entry or by in
ternational taxation.
The editorial proceeds to argue as fol-
lows: Though some amendment of the
constitution NAV perhaps be necessary to
lagit'matize the policy of governing by pro-
tectorate, it would not be necessary merely
TO settle the details of fiscal legislation.
Whatever appears to be wanted is less an
alteration of the constitution than an ex-
tension of the powers of the executive for
purposes not contemplated when the con-
stitution was framed. In any case in the
present enthusiastic expansion mood OF The
American people the technical difficulties
are not likely TO prove troublesome.
