TO IMPROVE TRADE CONDITIONS
Manufacturers Present Customs Me-
mortal to German Officials.

BERLIN, June 29-An important memoir
lal on the American customs administra-
ton and German trade has been presented
by the League of German Manufacturers
to CHANCELLOR Won Bulow, Baron Won Rich.
alofen, secretary of foreign affairs; Herr
Moeller, Russian minister of commerce and
Industry, and to Herr Buenz, German con-
sui general at New York who is now in
Berlin.
The memorial is based upon material
which the league collected in accordance
with a resolution adopted in 1903 and was
written by the Saxon manufacturer, Alfred
PetschoW, who was sent to the United
states to collect Information among import
ers. The league summarizes its views tnl
the following five points:
First-The American government should
be prevailed upon to accept German manu-
facturers declarations, sworn to before
american consuls, as evidence of value in
all cases.
Second-1t is necessary to reintroduce the
former privilege of appealing directly to
the American Treasury Department he
cause, under the present practice, a de-
cision rendered by the general appraisers
cannot be overthrown even when the courts
find 1t to be erroneous.
Third-The general appraisers should be
required to communicate to the importer
sentenced the penalty and duty, and the
reasons for the boards decisions so that
the importer can defend himself
Fourth.-The practice of chasing German
goods sold in the United States as consien-
ed and subject to special legislation merely
because the invoices are made out in dol
lars and cents should cease
F1fth-Shtpments of goods and SAMPLES
should not be detained in public stores as
hitherto until the buyers refuse to take the
goods because of too late delivery and the,
samples are no longer available for the
approaching season.
The memorial complains that such deten
uon now occurs even when bond or security
is onered. 1t concludes with reference to
the Importance of the German market to
american exporters as being much rrea ter
than that of the American market 70 Cor.
a question of how the German governmant
acts In the matter, which will decide the
response of the American government to
the wishes of the German manufa cturers.

all over the field, and every man did his
part when men were on bases.
