Berlin, May 5.-Professor, J. Lau..

Chicago. lectured at the University of
Berlin ;, this, afternoon on the subject
of protection and reciprocity in the
United States. His remarks contained
some truths that are not altogether
palatable to the German com mercial
world: They may be summarized in
the statement that there is not the
slightest hope of a reciprocity treaty
between America and Germany, either
in the present or the visible future.
At the same time Professor Laugh
lin pointed out that high priests of pro-
lection like Secretary Shaw and Sena-
tors Lodge and Aldrich seem blind to
the widespread wave of popular protest
against the maintenance of the present
tariff, but they would not dare to SO
before the country upon the issue of a
tariff war with Germany.
