Material considerations all argued for

classes. who were friendly to Germany.
The latter. however, did not want Spain
to go to war. They only wanted to
maintain the German commercial con-

more profitable than the British trade
overlordship.
The intellectuals, for the most part,

During the full year 1915 Spain's ex-
ports totaled s241,000.O00. a very COM
Portable sum.
The question now agitating the pub
lie mind in Spain is the future of this
foreign trade after the war. Not being
belligerent, the country is not in
cluded in the economic bond of the al
lies. and of course was not represented
at the Paris conference. Her CONNER
cial interests conflict to some extent
with several of the allied countries, but
no more SO than the conflict among
those countries themselves.
The somewhat vague promise is held
out to Spain that if she will continue
to be good she will be taken care of in
fhe economic treaties which are to be
made after the war. Ordinarily, when
the clash of commercial interests
comes. a vague assurance of this kind
would be Of little value to a country
that had been neutral. In the case OF
Spain. however, her commercial inter
ests are linked pretty closely with
those of Great Britain. England, there
