NOTICE NOT YET RECEIVED.
state Department Awaits Anxiously
OfficfaI News From AmbaSSa-
dor White.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.-The state de-
partment has not been informed By Am
bassador White of the decree against the
importation of American fresh fruits into
Germany. and the official statement of the
matter is awaited with anxiety at the de-
partment, which desires to know just how
far the German government is willing TO
yield TO the wishes OF the agrarian party.
which insists upon the exclusion OF all
American farm products which enter into
competition with the German farmer.
For two years the state department has
been engaged, almost fruitlessly. to secure
from the German government the reversal
% decree like the present one, but applied
to our meat products. The attitude of the
German. in this matter is not encouraging
and the announcement of this additional
decree against another great American
staple export has tried the patience Of the
department sorely.
OF course. nothing VIII be done in the
absence Of full official information from
Mr.. White. as to the facts in the case. and
II may be that the history of the meat ex-
clasion negotiations VIII be repeated and
that there may he a long correspondence to
permit the German government to demon
strate, II It can, the great dangers TO be
looked for In American fresh fruits.
But II the facts indicate that there is
as little foundation for this exclusion de-
cree as was the case with the meat prod
uets. 1t Is said at the state department
that the president probably viii avan

To the knowledge OF the state DEPART

made against American fresh fruits.
There was some complaint A few years
ago from Hamburg and Cologne against
certain importatioas OF dried fruits en- the
ground that they contained traces OF zinc.
taken up from the trays on which they
were dried. bat there has never been an
attack upon the fresh fruits The reports
of the United States consuis show that
the imports Of the latter have found great
favor in German citits. and the universal
testimony Of our consuls is that our apples
are 50 superior in every respect that there
il hardly a market for the German apples
in their vicinity.
The officials OF the agricultural depart
ncnt have as yet received no Information
on the subject.
