A GERMAN VIEW.

NEW YORK. Dec. IA special to
the World from Washington says:
Herr Won HolIeben. the imperial Ger
man ambassador, discussing the Chinese
situation said;
The Chinese question. so far as vital
issues are concerned. may be treated
as solved. The work Of the powers in
China is now one OF detail. Controver-
sial elements and units must be group
ed and administrative functions must
be made secure. Granting the postulate
that Chinese integrity must be presers-
ed. there is nothing left of the Chinese
situation but careful labor to ascer-
tain the relative rights of all parties
concerned.
The vital questions from this time
win be the disposition OF the various
treaty rights and concessions. Ger
many stands for open ports and free
access to the Oriental trade. II new
treaties are negotIated-individuaIly by
the powers with China or collectively
by the congress OF ministers now in ses-
sion at Pekin-other questions Of detail
and administration may obtrude them
selves.
In this connection each power win
carefully scrutinize the situation for its
own interest. There is no reason. how
ever. to apprehend any disagreement. !
So far as the relations OF Germany and |
the United States are concerned. 1t is |
only TO be said that they could not be |
more cordial. The freedom Of trade
and intercourse in the Philippines. en-
couraged by the United States under |
the difficulties at present existing, are
an exceptional guarantee and example |
against unwise selflshness throughout
the Orient.
..sThe sentiment 50 carefully fostered
by certain interests that Germany is
hostile to American progress or trade |
is to be regretted The two countries
have similar policies OF protection to
domestic industries and prosperity In
detail these interests may sometimes
clash Various regulations Of the Gus
toms and imperative laws Of the United
States weigh heavily upon German
commerce. Americans held that the
German laws regulating the importa-
tion Of meats to Germany are detrimen-
tai to their interests. These are neces-
sary sequences Of kindred policies.
"on the other hand, the parcels post
facilities. the desire TO maintain the
German steamship lines prohtably and
kindly German desire to trade with
the United States make the Atlantic
commerce between the two countries
practically reciprocal, In such circum-
stances mischlevous attempts to pre-
judice public opinion may be ignored.
The trade worli is not sentimental. 1t
understands relative situations"
