Leader of the Reichstag Can Conceive of No Pos sible Cause of War Be tween the Fatherland and Great Britain
WHY GERMAN NAVY
 IS GETTING BIGGER
It Is Only Keeping Pace With the Rapid Develop ment of the Empire, and Its Growing Commerce and Industries
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHJ

VANCOUVER, July 23.-"The Ger man menace now occupying so much attention, is only d myth. Belief in it's existence has been encouraged by French chauvinists, or ultra patriots, with the idea of embroiling Great Britain and Germany. I think a war between these two countries is in- conceivable. It is unfortunate that an element among British people should misunderstood the aims and aspirations of my countrymen," pr Herman Paasche, the national liberal leader and vice president of the German reichstag, said today.
 Paasche and his wife reached here today and tomorrow will sail on the Empress India for the Orient
 "Of course the misunderstanding so far as England is concerned is due to the increase of the German navy during recent years. a policy that is supported by the national liberal party as warmly as by the conserva- tIves. The growth of our navy is d natural evolution in harmony with the expansion and development of the German empire. Today our eX- port trade has attained to almost two thirds that of Great Britain and is growing by leaps and bounds. Our iron and steel production is now over sixteen million tons annually. or double that of Great Britain. Un- der the circumstances we feel justi- fled in protecting our sea ports and lines of communication of our sea borne commerce.

Representative Littleton II
 Proposes Strict Federal Control of Organizations
 Entering Into Interstate Business by Government
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcH1

WASHINGTON. July 22.-After a long discussion of industrial cOndi- tions and the history of the develop ment of corporations, Representative Littleton said today:
 "It is my belief that the federal gov ernment should challenge every cor poration seeking entrance into the field of interstate commerce and compel it to conform to a standard which will insure that the concern has behind every issued share of stock the real value which the share represents, not only for the protection those who buy tfe stock, but to insure that it will not mower tine standard of it's product to force dividend on excessive capitai- zation and thus tend to demoralize the industry in which it is engaged"
 To do this effectively the federal government should require corporate concerns entering the field of inter- state commerce to submit their status, their true condition to a board created for that purpose"
