GERMANY NEEDS PROTECTION
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR SAYS EXPORT
TRADE MUST BE PROTECTED.

Berlin Dec 3-On the resumption of the tar
If debate in the Reichstag to-day Count Won
posadowsky- Wehner. Secretary of the Interior,
took up the cudgels in defence of the bill. The
members OF the Left frequently interrupted him,
taking strong exceptions TO his remarks. and
The members Of the Right responded with
cheers
The Secretary contended that Germany was
largely dependent on her exnort trade which
must therefore he protected The United states
had introduced protective rates not only against
Germany but against the world IN the inter
ests OF American finance and American INDUS
try. II impossible to maintain a free trade
basis in the midst OF protectionist countries.
and unfortunately Germany could not follow
the advice that she should take the lead in low
cring duties she had already had such a
disagreeable experience with sugar bounties.
In regard the suggestion that the govern
ment introduce radical free trade measure. the
Secretary said It would entail enormous taxa
ton. The new tariff was necessary to build up
agriculture, III which Germany was vitally in
terested.
He doubted If Germany was able to produce
sufficient grain for her own consumption. but
the authorities wished in any case. to keep out
all grain which not needed. Germany
could supply the domestic demands for meat
but It not true that the cattle disease laws
had been enforced in order TO raise the price.
The German landowners not like the
wealthy English landowners. They could not
stand decline in agriculture and the abolition
of the corn laws. Since the conclusion of the
commercial treaties other States had repeated
y raised their duties. Germany had a similar
right, and the man who did not look upon the
matter from this point Of view lacked sense and
national pride.
The Imperial Chancellor, Count Won Bulow.
replying to the criticisms of the members of the
Left. said he wished that there should be no
mistake regarding the governments attitude
toward the commercial treaties. They consd-
cred the renewal of the treaties of long duration
to be most desirable, but Germany purposed
arranging them on a basis satisfactory to her
self. The interests of other nations would he
met in a spirit OF reciprocity and fair dealing
but Germany was In position to give effect to
her wishes with the same emphasis OIL
countries. She need SHOW no more diffidence
than they. AS for the utterances of the foreign
press. the government would not be driven a
hairs breadth from the path marked out nor
suffer dictation touching German rights and in
terestS. ~ "
