Washington, November 27.-"The Land of Unbounded Possibilities. is the title of a series of articles on conditions in the United States, prepared by Hon. Ludwig Max Goldberger, of Berlin, Royal Privy Councillor of Commerce and member of the imperial German consulate for commercial measures, to be republished by the treasury bureau of statistics in its forthcoming issue of the morfthly summary of commerce and finance.
 These statements are the result of an eight months official tour of the United States by MT. Goldberger, in which he made personal observations and investigations into industrial, com mercial and economic conditions. His detailed reports upon these subjects were made direct to the emperor and the minister of commerce, and have not yet been officially published. Mean time, however, he has published in leading weekly journal of Berlin, Die WOche," q series of signed articles un- der the above title, "The Land of Un- bounded Possibilities: Observations on the Economic Life of the United States" from which the following are extracts:
 The United States, like an enchanted garden, has brought forth from mar vclously productive soil. splendid re- suits of human ingenuity. Yet the thing that causes most wonder is that the concentrated intelligence which, in tending to replace human factors bt machinery, has, in working toward it's aim, been giving to constantly grow ing numbers of workmen an opportu- nity to support themselves and become productive factors. The joy at the size of their own land encourages each in- dividual. It makes him communica- tive and friendly foreigners wha are seeking information. It seems | as though everyone were filled with the idea: The stranger shall see how great and strong America is My eight months trip of observation and study | took me through the states, and every where l found open doors inviting me to enter, and nowhere did I find the | slightest attempt at secretiveness Everywhere I observed an uncommon but steady hustle of men who enjoy their work and are consciously work ing for great results. Tt is a great country This is the verbatim desig- nation of reverential admiration which | the citizen of the United States has found for his country.
 'The inhabitants of the United States including Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine Islands, number about & millions-that is barely five per cent o the worlds total inhabitants, accord ing to its highest estimate. This five per cent has at present taken posses sion of p per cent of all the cultivated area of the earth, viz: 407.4 million acres out of 1928 million acres. A lanC of marvellous fertility offered itself fol tillage, and the husbGndman had bu to gather in the produce. The virgiI soil made his work easier, and it's ex tensiveness rendered the application O artificial fertilizers practically unneces sary. although the agricultural offices of the states of the Union have con stantly by excellent advice and prac tical expert assistance been furnishing the ways and means toward more in tense cultivation.
