Commercial Conditions in Teuton
Lands.


Lands.
Il have just come back from a fine
months stay in Europe and / have seen
and heard enough interesting things to
fill book" said Mr.. Albert de Leur a
prosperous citizen of Los Angeles, Cal
at the Raleigh.
Much of my time was spent in Hol-
land, where l was educated, though my
native country is France. To an Ameri-
can, Holland seems about 800 years be-
hind the times. 1t is slow to degree
that is painful. Amsterdam has a ple-
tnora of money, but only about one house
in twenty, even in the new part of the
city, contains a bathroom. The people
are outwardly clean, but as regards their
persons | have grave suspicious There
is one thing they want to do in Holland
and that is TO invest cash to the extent
of many millions in the beet sugar bus-
ness of the United States, provided Con-
gress will not hurt this industry by grant
ing Cuba relief from tariff duties. Ger
man capital is also anxious to make in
vestments in our sugar farms and fac
tories, but not cent will be Forthcoming
il the tariff bars are lowered; and the
course of the American Congress is being
watched with extreme solicitude.
Il was sorry to note the widespread
stagnation of business in Germany. 1t is
said that there are 100000 men out of
employment in that country. In Berlin l
saw idle men in big groups filling the
Frederick Strasse from the Hotel Central
to Inter den Linden. The Germans are
paying the penalty of militarism. In Ber
lin, Metz, CoblentZ, Cologne-everywher
you fall over the man in soldiers uni
form. The expense of paying for his
keep is frightful, and the people are
chafing over it throughout the Empire.
Some OF the leading men OF Germany
and France expressed to me their ad-
miration at the way the Washington Gov
ernment was conducting its foreign af-
fairs, and the name OF Mr.. Hay was
mentioned in terms OF profound respect.
The Minister OF Finance OF Holland told
me that the American policy OF taking
from China only actual damages. and of
assuring the Orientais that their prov
inces were not coveted. together with the
mission of Mr.. Rockhill, was the shrewd-
est move made by any Government in the
past ten years, and that IT meant that the
United States would for all time have
predominatiDg influence in China, and
sooner or later the bulk OF its COM
merce.
