BRITISH OPPOSE RECIPROCITY.
Would Give United States Cuba's
Trade, They Say.


Trade, They Say.
London, March 11.-Delegates from
a number of the British chambers of
Commerce visited the foreign secre-
tary, Lord Lansdowne, at the foreign
office to-day and presented a memorial
relative to British trade with Cuba,
pointing out that it was feared that
when the administration of that island
was handed over to the Cubans a rec
iprocity treaty would be negotiated,
admitting Cuban produce into the
United States at reduced duties and
granting corresponding preferential
terms to American produce and man
ufactures by Cuba.
Such reciprocity treaty as that
anticipated" says the memorial,
"woul undoubtedly put an end to Euro
pean trade with the island. The cham
bers, therefore, most earnestly request
that the utmost effort be made by Ills
Majesty's minister at Washington to
prevent the signing of any such treaty,
or at least, to secure that the most
favored treatment be continued by
Cuba to this country"
The interview was private, but the
Associated Press understands that
while promising to look into the mat
ter Lord Lansdowne gave but faint en-
coura ment.

on Won Richthofen, after reading the
answer of the British government per-
hitting the delivery of German char
liable gifts to the Beers in the South
African concentration camps, under
the surveillance of the camp authori-
ties, declared that the reply guaran-
teed just distribution, and added:
1.-THE English and German nations
are connected by ties of blood, race
and Friendship. They are cousins who
may again find themselves side by
side. Gen. Methuen deserves our COM
pleIte sympathy"
The sacrifices that Great Britain had
made in blood and treasure, said the
foreign secretary, made it only human
ly natural that her susceptibilities
should be now more acute. Every
harsh word is doubly felt by her. Every
friendly address was accepted with
double gratitude. If the members of
the Diet wished to secure the co-opera-
ton of the British in helping the Beers,
they must abstain from provoking
Great Britain's susceptibility.
IF we feel ourselves more than cous-
ms kin to England" the secretary said,
I'VE shall be able the more eff
fectively to help our common cousins
lin South Africa Let US not
always assume that everything done
by the English is wrong and bad.
Let US do what we can in the way
of service to humanity" continued the
secretary, land then perhaps we can
go further, perhaps we shall be, able,
without drawing upon ourselves a
sharp rebuff, to address ourselves as
cousins to our cousins on the. other
