planted by the Imperialism OF Japan,
which is even greater menace to
China"

CONSULS ARE READY
TO ENTER GERMANY

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE state
Department is prepared to send Amer
ican consuls' into Germany and re
sumo trade relations the moment
President Wilson says the word.
This fact was made clear by Will
liam Phillips, Acting Secretary of State
when his attention was called to the
recent conflict between the State De-
partment and the Department of JUS
tice regarding the resumption of trade.
Mr.. Phillips said he was fully aware
of the fact that the Trading with the
Enemy Act contains a provision re-
quiring an exchange of treaty ratifi-
cations before trade can be resumed.
However. he placed emphasis upon
the fact that the President is authori-
zed to issue - proclamation in advance
of ratification, declaring the war end
ed for purposes of trade. This was
conceded by Attorney General Pal
mer.
1--WE are prepared to enter Germany
for trading purposes whenever our al
lied friends do So" said Mr.. Phillips
%We have received no final instruc-
tions as yet from Paris, but have no
doubt that they will be Forthcoming
in ample time"
Mr.. Phillips added that only word
from the President is necessary to
start the trade machinery in motion.
