THE DELAY IN PARIS EXPLAINED.
GREAT CARE NECESSARY IN DRAWING UP
EVEN MINOR FEATURES OF
THE PEACE TREATY

Washington. Dec. 3-While it is beginning TO
be recognized here that the chances agains:
the conclusion OF the work of the Peace Com
missioners in Paris In time for the Americans to
take the steamer Of the 10th for home. the off,
cials are not discouraged at the outlook. know
Ing that the delay in the proceedings OF the Com
mission admits OF reasonable explanation.
For instance. there hes been some difficulty in
reaching an agreement as to the disposition Of
the public property in the Philippines. including
war material guns and stores. 1t seems. how
ever. likely now that the Commissioners will
agree TO edopt plan for the disposition of these
claims based on the procedure which governed
In the OF the Spanish properties in Porto
Rico. 1t will not be necessary It Is hoped. to
send Joint evacuation commission to Manila.
as was done in the evacuation of Porto Rico. but
simply to adopt the plan laid down by the Porto
Rican Commission
II is surmised that the American Commission
ers have been much more concerned by Spanish
overtures looking to the allowance Of exccp-
tional advantages for Spanish commerce with
Cuba and Porto Rico than about other matters
which really seemed to be of larger importance.
The explanation of this is the realization on the
part of the Commissioners that any agreement
on their part to concede such special advantages
might not only arouse the opposition or the
commercial classes of the United States. but
bring upon the United States Government
series Of demands from the great commercial
nations Of the world with which this country
has treaty relations for the allowance Of similar
concessions under the operation OF what Is
known as the most-favOred-natio clause in
those treaties. Much Of the feeling exhibited by
the German press toward the United States
Government was directly traceabe TO a denial
by the State Department OF just such claim
preferred by Germany to be excepted from the
operations Of the cOuntervailing- duty clause In
the sugar sections of the American tariff act on
the ground that other nations were permitted 10
send their sugar to the United States free from
this duty and the state Department has always
avoided. wherever possible. any action that
might cause further conflicts Of this kind
