treaty.
Berlin. February 22.-The German press
today discusses the Reconstructed meat
inspection bill. The boldness of the agra
rian demands is regarded as tantamount
to a high price for supporting the naval
augmentation bill. The Freissnnige Zef-
ung calls the committees declsions "un-
heard Of" and one that challenges the
United States to a tariff war"
The Berllner Tageblatt remarks. This
is the most enormous exhibition Of selfish.
ness which the agrarisns have yet offered
10 the German people. They intend
through exorbitant provisions of the bill
to involve Germany in bitter tariff war
with the United States, Austria. Denmark
and Holland" The liberal press is calling
for an early expression OF its attitude.
The Deutsche Tages zeitung claims that
the government Will reconsider its pre-
vious utterances and VIII accept the bill.
