NEW YORK. Sept 9ooThe Ger
man Journal is about to issue a spe-
cial Panama Pacific Exposition prop
uganda publication in Berlin, with the
view Of demonstrating to the Ger
man officials, the leading manufac-
turers and publishers the magnitude
and attractions Of the 1915 fair.
II will be the purpose OF this spe-
cial edition to call attention OF the
Germans to tho fact that the Panama
Canal will bring the Western shores
OF the American Hemisphere and the
markets OF the Orient closer to the
doors of the workshops. the marts
and exchanges Of Europe.
The German Government, as is
well known. decided some time ago
not to participate officially, but this
action aroused the opposition of the
manufacturers and exporters, who are
alive to the opportunity which this
event Of worldwide Importance gives
them to extend their markets and to
keep what they have.
Opposition Organized.
Immediately after the decision Of
the Government became known, a
movement wasNset afoot by the New
York German Journal through it's edi-
tor, Theodore Sutro, and quickly gath
cred momentum under the powerful
and influential leadership of the gil
gantic German transatlantic ship
ping interests, headed by Ballln, of
the Hamburg American Line, and
Hcineken, of the North German Lloyd,
to organize this opposition so as to
secure private German participation
which would be a true representation
Of the high condition of the German
Industries.
This movement became at once very
popular and headquaH ers We're open
ed in Berlin. Since then many large
trade organizations have passed reso-
lutions rcgretting the action Of the
/ Government and pledging their sup
