"PoTAsH soUAeBLE" SETTLED.
Americans Finally Accept Compromise
at Germany's Hands.

New York, Jan TERMS of final
settlement of the potash contro-
versy" between German and American
interests were announced by the in
ternational agricultural corporation,
which is the owner of the Sollstedt
mine, over which the dispute has
largely been waged.
The announcement declares that the
only foundation for previous reports
that differences had been settled was
that basis of compromise had been
tentatively agreed upon.
adjustments have now been made
and confirmed by exchange of cables
with Berlin" it is stated. THE read
justments provide for the withdrawal
of all suits in our courts involving liza
bility for payment of the potash tax
levied by Germany, for the assignment
, to the syndicate of American contracts
with the independent mines, for new
contracts with the syndicate covering
full American potash requirements on
basis practically the same as that
prevailing before the low price con-
tracts were obtained from the indie
pendent mines, and for the re-entry of
| the independent mines into the syn
dictate"
The statement continues:
"As the owner of the Sollstedt mine,
| the International Agricultural corpora
| ton has exhausted every possible
means to protect it's low price con-
tracts with American consumers.
THE corporation and those who
shared with the difficulties of its po'
sitions have agreed to the present set
| tlement, after the Americans who held
contracts with the Sollstedt and AS
chersleben mines negotiated the later
Hamburg contracts with the syndicate
found it impossible for the United
States government to obtain any re-
lief for American consumers.
1T is to be regretted that Ameri
cans failed to accept a former com
promise obtained for them by the in
/ ternational, the terms Of far more
favorable scale than those now agreed
| to. Too much blame, however, should
not be imposed for these failures, fol
the reason that the Americans coulc
not believe at that time that the ener
getic efforts of their government
would be ineffective to protect con
tracts against the operation Of the
German tax law"
