No Threat in Pacific.

TOO great stress also is laid upon the
point in the interview dealing with our
interests in the Pacific ocean, which are
incorrectly presented as inimical to Japan
We never thought about East Asia except
for purposes of obtaining a portion of the
trade arising from economic development,
and we have no idea of undertaking a
maritime adventure there The extension
of the German fleet is just as little in

as in Europe. The task in Germany's
policy is not to limit the DEVELOPMENT of

lentleSs as the socialists the radicals and
the national-Hberals, and yesterdays pro-
ceedings are regarded by the extreme
liberals as the beginning of a long con-
test between the crown and parliament,
which may end in Germany having a
ministry responsible to parliament and

When Herr Bassermann, the national
liberal leader, friend of Chancellor Won

began his discussion of the incident there
was hardly a vacant seat on the men,
