BERLIN June 10.--In the course OF the debate
in the Reichstag to-day on the third reading Of
the bill providing for a prolonRation OF the
commercial treaty with England. Count Posa-
dowsky- Wehuer Minister OF the imperial
Treasury. announced that the reply OF England
to Germany's proposals had been received by
the Government
Baron Liebermann Won Sonnenberg insisted
upon the adoption OF strong economic meas
ures against England. He also complained OF
the insolence OF the English press In its treat
ment OF the Samoan affair and its illusions to
Germany's attitude in the Peace Conference.
Herr Won Buelow. Minister Of Foreign AZ
fairs, said: I'VE shall provide full indemnity
for the Germans whose property was destroyed
through illegal British and American action"
1t was the Chauvinists who grated the Sa-
moan question to the matter under debate.
which was ultimately referred to n special
commission.
Herr Won Buelow declared that Germany
would firmly maintain her rights on the basis
OF the Samoa treaty. 1t was essential prma-
rily to restore order in Samoa. which had been
disturbed in q manner which deeply wounded
the German sense OF justice. He would not
take sides in regard to the constitution OF the
future native Government. He was fully con-
scous OF the responsibility incumbent on the
Government to obtain compensation for the
damages done to German property and for in
reference with the Germans personal liberty.
He would leave nothing undone to secure COM
pensation when order was restored. but the
matter was not yet riDe for Diplomatic nego-
tiations
