have at times tended to sharpen this
competition.
by this visit of Emperor Williams
brother an epoch of courteous and
amicable endeavOr is inaugurated. 1t
will be impossible hereafter to
charge any animosity to the German
government on account of the nat
ural striving of the German people to
excel in their commercial enterprises.
1T has become the custom of gov
ernments in Europe to mark these
eras of international cOrdiality by
such visits. The compliment intend
ed is not only directed to the presi-
dent and his administration, but to
the whole people of the United
States. There is no doubt that Amer
leans, without regard to party, will
receive this visit in the same ami
cable spirit which made its concep-
tiOn possible. There is such a large
percentage of the citizenship of this
country of German extraction that
a cordial reception was assured in
any circumstances; but the fact that
the whole people understand the
chivalric intentions of the German
emperor will add to the pleasure and
cordiality incident to the entertain
ment of Prince Henry.
Il would not like to say more than
that this visit will maintain a friend
ly international spirit, although it
will in no wise restrict the mutual
competitive efforts to master the
markets of the world through excel
lence of product"
