 All must finally become great re- zion of the intercourse with uniform interests. Concurrently with the grad ual disappearance of customs duties and frontiers there must be unifica- tion or far reaching auurochment of legisaltion, especially and indus trial tariffs and the care of labor. j Certain forms of indirect taxation must be outlined similarly and rail, ways, waterways and other means of communication must hc made to serve the common interests.
 HSuch cooperation, however is only to be thought of in conjunction with the maintenance of the political in- dependence of the empires concerned. while mutual consideration and united action in connection with questions of foreign policy are necessary.
 Political cooperation must be sup ported by an understanding of mili- tary questions. If the estates are bound together by a treaty of pro lection, they must bear proportionate- ly the burdens of this protection. and all would then have an identical in- terest in the simplification and ap- tprcpriate extension of military insti- tutiOnS."

 ''The present form of the allies is inadequate. In view of the facts that vital questions are concerned, the duration of the alliance must not de- pend continually on the feelings at the moment.
