LONDON, June l9-ln the House of Lords
to-day the Earl of Camperdown called at
tention to the recent announcement OF
the Marquis of Lansdowne, Secretary for
Foreign Affairs. that Germany would prob
ably withdraw the most-favored nation
treatment from Great Britain if her other
colonies follow Canada's example in grant
ing her preferential treatment. and called
for the papers covering the AnSlo-German
correspondence on the subject
He declared that Germany's contemplated
action was unprecedented. We're German
statesmen, he added, so ignorant of the
whole character and temper of the British
as really to believe such a course was likely
to succeed?
The mailed fist. he added, might do very
we'll in Germany, although oven there
discomfort and socialism appeared to he
spreading rapidly, hut that policy, of all
policies, would not be accepted here. II
this was not threat on The part Of Germany
il was al any rate direct challenge to a
war of tariffs If she chose to enter upon
commercial war against Grea, Britain
she would be doing away with one of her
very best customers, and she could not bet
ter assist Mr. Chamberlan's project than
in giving the object lesson she has gwen
in the case nf Canada.
This was no solitary instance in which
the German Government had done it's
best in recent wears to annoy and irritate
Great Britain. When Great Brit ain looked
for friendship she would better look some
where else than Germany. He hoped that
Germany had been made 10 understand
that Great Britain's dealings with her
colonies concerned her alone. and that
| threats and warnings from any foreign
nation in regard to British colonies were
only likely TO confirm Great Britain in
taking any course she chose to take.
Lord Iansdowne, in reply, said he realized
the great Importance of the question. but
was not disposed to make any statement
beyond what he said the other evening,
lord Camperdown, he added. had indulged
in somewhat severe structures on the Ger
man Government on this and other occa-
sions, but he Iord Lansdownc', dcpre-
Gated the assumption that in this matter
Germany had been actuated by deliberate e
hostility against Great Britain. The
German Governments course was, perhaps,
not unnatural. knowing, as il did. the
manner in which, up to the present time,
England had been in the habit of dealing
with those questions concerning the treat
ment of her { lonies.
He really thought il was nevertheless
necessary that Great Britain make her
position in regard to these matters per-
fectly clear and Ineligible to all concerned,
and there was very little doubt if this were
done it would be found possible to bring
about a settlement Of the question upon
terms satisfactory to Great Britain and her
colonies. He promised to produce the
papers covering the correspondence with
Germany in a few days.
