the debate on the measure in the reich
stag next Tuesday. The meat commit

same inspection was equivalent 20 the alb
solute prohibition of imports. member
of the reichstag said that there were very
grave objections to the committees para

Hay conciliatory assurances regarding
hte bill. inasmuch as the reichstag has

point of national honor to pass the bill
in a form suiting the interests of Ger

sible to the threats and will not permit
foreigners TO dictate to u.s."
