GERMANY PROTESTS
Claims Thst II is coatsery to "open
Dosen Pelisy Adopted by the
Uhfted statos.

Strong representations have teen made to
this Government by Germany In reference
to the egmmercial policy In the Philippines.
The correspoH1ence ON the subject, recently
transmitted to the Senate, shows that Ger
many has protested against the hemp tax
on the general ground that 1t is contrary to
the declared policy OF the open door," and
urges that it be given equal advantages
with the United States ana Spain in the
Philippine hemp trade.
The tax on hemp exported from the Phil
ippines is $75 per 100 kiios. The tax does
not apply to hemp shipped to the United
States or Spain, but to all other countries.
Spain is given advantages equal to those
enjoyed by the United States under the pro-
visions Of the peace treaty.
In his note to the State Department the
German ambassador pointed out that the
tariff law passed for the Philippines during
the last session Of Congress provided that
there should be no export tax imposed upon
articles shipped from the Unfted States to
the Philippines, but that no other countries
were included in this prohibition. He then
says that II this export duty is to cease on
Manila hemp shipped to America, 1t be-
comes possible for exporters Of hemp to
send Manila hemp to this country at rate
Of about $50 ton cheaper than to other
countries, and that 1t is evident from this
that Germans who are among the regular
customers for Manila hemp, are at a great
disadvantage with their competitors in the
United Slates
"open Door" Policy.
The German ambassador directs atten-
tion to the fact that the United States gov
ernment laid down the principle, just be-
fore the conclusion Of the Paris treaty of
peace. that the policy Of the United States
in the Philippine Islands was to be that Of
the "open door, to the commerce of the
world.
The German ambassador says that his
government has always understood this
declaration to mean that the same treat
ment would be accordef1 to ali nations a
principle which the UNITED Hkates govern
ment supported in eastern Asia and other
quarters of the globe, and to the mainte-
nance Of which 1T has pledged itself. He
then says that the Germans government
cannot reconcile itself to this avowed policy
and the provisions of the Philippines tariff
act Of last year, imposing the export tax.
On behalf of his goverm emit he prays for
relief
The British ambassador also fled protests
by the Association Of Chambers Of Com
merce Of Great Britain, stating that tax
against British dealers tH hemp is Injurious.

The solidarity displayed by the re-
spective parties in the recent extraor-
binary session of the Senate was some
thing to be admired in both the ma
jority and minority, but more particu-
larly in the latter. The Independent
in particular was satisfied, to certain
extent at least with the solid phalanX
shown by the Home Rule-Democrats,
= deeming it something worth while to
admire and eulogize them. We hoped
against hope that they would stay so
to the end, but we find that we were
badly mistaken in counting upon them
that they would stay by their people,
even il they were defeated at every
turn, which, towards the latter days of
,the session, showed that the conf
dence we stored in them was some
what misplaced for, instead of remain
ing solid, they were shattered to
pieces.
