The situation in China is being
watched with the keenest interest by
the officials of the state department

appreciative of it's grave possibilities.
1t seems evident that the Boxers"
demonstration is Of far more gravity
than expected, and that it can easily
develop so as to threaten the stabil-
ity Of the Chinese empire. The Chi
nese government so far seems utterly
unable to prevent the destruction Of
foreign property by the Boxers" or
even to protect foreigners. The chief
trouble with the outbreak is that 1t
gives the desired excuse to Russia,
Germany, France and Italy to engage
in the partition Of China, which Great
Britain and the United States have
opposed though the latter has taken
no steps to Offset this movement. At

A GERMAN PAPER POINTS THE
WAY.

Chicago Times-Herald.
As the Dingley law enables the
president to retaliate against any
country which discriminates against
American exports. and the secretary OF
agriculture is empowered specifically
to pass upon food imports there can
hardly be a necessity for special leg
islation aimed at Germany. The only
question is whether the nature Of the
trade is such that retaliation may be
made effective. and for an answer it
is sufficient to turn to the Berlin Boer-
sen zeitung of April Il.
This German paper has gone over the
ground most thoroughly and has sat-
istied itself that the campaign Of the
agrarians is suicidal. 1t begins with
a gratifying showing of the increase Of
exports from Germany to this country
They have nearly doubled in two years,
and it is calculated that they may
amount to the enormous figure Of
$1+2,SOO.O 900 in 1900 and so equal those
from Great Britain. How many
thousands Of Germans" exclaims the
commentator. who are now dependent
upon this trade for their support, would
be without bread If It were suddenly
to stop"
The pinch comes on sugar. which is
an agricultural as well as manu-
factured product and corners the agra
rians in their own homes. Suppose
that Secretary Wilson should apply
their ethics to this product. He could
certainly discover that it was a horri-
bic menace to the public health, a
noxious poison and breeder Of fatal
diseases. With a perfect appreciation
OF the facts The Boersen Zeitung says:
The amount of sugar supplied var
les considerably with the crop, from
1,5OO,OOO to 100000 double centners,
and We have already sent the Ameri-
cans as much as JOG, 100000 marks,
1923, 500, ,O0O worth. This we can con-
tinue to do IL we maintain peace and
friendship with them. But If We force
the Americans into retaliation, as our
agrarians wish to do with their meat
inspection law. and thus render i'm
possible the exportaton OF our sugar
to the United States, we shall have no
other purchaser for this enormous mass
of sugar. The prices will then sink
TO the cost Of production. and perhaps
even lower. AS a consequence many
sugar factories and the farmers de-
pendent thereon will become bankrupt,
and prosperous German agricultural
industry will be destroyed"
The paper is fully cognizant Of the
morality Of the German prohibition Of
American meats and gives this expo
sition Of the methods of the farmers
during the earlier discussions on the
bill:
For while even the importation Of
meat was forbidden. as it was said
to contain trichinae and other dangers.
Now the agrarians are working in
an indirect way; they demand two
examinations Of every ami
NAL one before and one after 1t is
killed. Our veterinary surgeons, how
ever, cannot examine the American
cattle before they are slaughtered, and,
as a foreign country must not be
treated better than home producers,
American meat can be forbidden entry |
into Germany-a sly plan upon which a |
light is thrown by the fact that
the farming gentlemen wish to have
the law applied, not to themselves but
to the wicked towns. When they
butcher animals for use in their own
