Emperor during his stay. The occasion
was obviously one Of political import
ance. This is now proved by the coming
visit Of the King TO Germany,
The editor Of Politiken. the organ
Of the present Ministry in Denmark,
seems to be Of the opinion that the eco
nomic danger 10 Denmark of the new
fiscal policy advocated in England ac-
counts for the reported intention OF
the King. On the face Of II, nothing
eeems more probable. The British mar
ket is the one upon which the Danes now
depend almost exclusively We're that
closed in favor of the British colonies,
the only market left to Denmark would
be Germany. To Germany, therefore.
they naturally turn.
II is suggested that there are other
alternatives: adhesion to the Franco
Russian alliance, or membership in q
Scandinavian alliance. These projects,
however, are merely political, and
economically unsatisfying. The prod
ucts for which Denmark most needs
steady market are produced and
exported by those very countries with
which it is suggested to her to ally
herself Nor are the political pros
poets in joining the Dual Alliance or a
Scandinavian combination alluring. The
former cannot last forever; and Norway
and Sweden are harmonizing after the
manner of two cats tied together by
their tails.
To Germany, therefore. Denmark will
have to look for her compensation for
the loss OF the British market. The
only question Is as to the form In which
she will receive it and the price she will
have to pay. Will it be by special
reciprocal treaty or by entrance into
the German Zollverein; and what will
be the political relationship attached to
the economic advantages?
The country most affected by the FORE
Swallowed changes in the relations be-
tween Denmark and Ger many would be
Russia; no doubt her compensation has
already been considered. Two things
suggest where and what it would be. Tho
curious interest manifested in the last
three years by Emperor WILLIAM In the
northern fords OF Norway and tho es-
tablhhment by the British Government
Of a new naval station on the coast OF
Scotland commanding the North Sea
seem to point to the acquisition one day
by Russia OF an ioe-free port, outside the
Baltic and open to the Atlantic, on one Of
the Norwegian fiords. The advantages
to Germany Of the incorporation OF Dem
mark into the empire, whether from the
economic, political or military point OF
view, are too obvious to need discus
sion; and Denmark where strong pro-
German party already exists, would
gain by the assured stability of her po-
sition W. an important. member OF a
great empire.
For this country, however, question
Of vital Importance is involved in the
contingency Of Denmark's becoming
an integral part OF the German En-
pire. Would she carry her West Indian
Islands with her, and should we see a
new flag waving over territory in the
Western Hemisphere, and the island Of
St. Thomas. which VIC have failed to
acquire, becoming naval station Of the
German Empire?
