George s Atwood. secretary Of the

ington as the Official representative OF
that body. and is charged with the duty
OF requesting members OF Congress ard
the state Department 70 try 20 obtain
valuable tra6e concession from Germany
in connection with the passage Of the
new tariff act.
The American Association OF Commerce
and Trade is the only commercial body
in Germany organized for The promotion
OF trade between the two countries. and
IN the seven years OF its existence II has
accomplished much toward encouraging
American exports 10 the Fatherland-
Il am here. said 8Ir- Atwood at the
Raleigh last night. while these tariff
debates are going on. TO urge upon the
Treasury and state Departments 70 ask
certain trade concessions from The Ger
man government First. We wish ths
German authorities TO agree 10 accept
the meat inspection certificates. as nOE
given in this country. under the pure
food law. TIE Germans promised 20 do
this two years ago. when our last trade
agreement with them was signed. but

the large packing houses OF this country
about 81 a barrel 10 have their meat re-
examined as i passes the German front
ier, and this represents Just SO much
loss 20 Americans. and q large revenue
10 the German treasury.
There is no reason why the Germans
should not accept our Inspection certif-
Gates under the pure food act. but they
seem unduly suspicious Of all things
American Up 10 Eve years ago Amer

Germany. and for several years after &
was subjected 10 rigid inspection BY the
customs officials; large quantities OF Il
were transferred from American vessels
at the free port Of Hamburg. and re-
shipped IN the original packages 20 the
German troops in the African colonies
This was stopped only a year ago through
the efforts Of the Agrarian party.
