TRADE TREATY in REIcHSTAG
German Parliament Takes I'D cues
tiOn of MOduE Vivendi Wsth
Governors.

BERLIN. May The ReichstRg today
passed the first reading Of the commercial
moduE vivendi between the United States
and Germany and referred the agreement
to q committee.
When the house took up the modus Vi
vendi Vice Chancellor Count Won Posa-
d0wsiy-Wehner expressed apprehension
that the agreement al many points did not
i'll the hopes entertained by the members.
Its essential features were almost exclus-
sively administrative provisions made by
the United States, which II carried out in
the spirit Of the arrangement made between
the United States and Germany, would
permit of the hope that many Of the diff
hculties complained Of by the German ex-
purterE would be moderated or removed.
The federated governments regarded the
modus vivendi as being only the first step
toward reaching an understanding with the
United States upon a much broader basis.
American duties, when compared with the
German, are. ne said, extraordinarily high.
and in many classes Of goods wholly eK-
clude imports. Therefore Germany hoped
that further negotiations would bring a
more just recognition Of its claim. The
United States should remember that Ger
many is one Of its best customers.
Count Won Schwerin-Loewitz, conserve
tive, said the mOdus vivendi by no means
correspunded with the principle Of reci-
procity as interpreted in the United States.
What advantages the bin gave 10 German
industry were infinitely less than those
Germany gave 10 the United States
The agreement was eventually referred 70

The coal situation Is the most serious Of

the people In many sections Of the west
last year
Mr.. Park has just completed 8 tour Of
the coal mines Of the Union Pacific.
1t is guile likely next winter will see q
much more serious condition than existed
during the past. FOR the reason that the
country west OF the Rock Springs mines is
settling up very rapidly and requires the
entire commercial output al present Re
Gently very little Rock Springs coal has
been shipped east Of Cheyenne and prRc-
tically none has left the rails Of the Union
