to permit expectation of most raw
materials used in industries in such
Quantities as are required to meet the
demands of home consumption. This
demand, 1t is said, will largely prevent
serious exports from neutrals TO ad-
Jacent enemy countries
This problem is complicated by the
question Of possible competition be-
tween neutrals and the handicapped
Entente belligerents before the latter
are completely restored to their ante
bellum efficiency. 1t IS urged by rep
resentat.yes of various Allied and as
soc'ated governments that it would be
unfair to give noutrals undue facilities
tc rush m and seize world trade while
the Entente belligerents are unable to
compete on equal terms.
American representatives believe. It
IS understood, that it is quite feasible
tc arrange a compromise between bel
hgerents and neutrals in this matter.
AT least one of the European belliger-
onts has an economic programme which
1t desires to sec incorporated in the
adjustments effected by the peace con-
gress. This includes the supply of raw
materials, and the restoration and re-
cupcratlon of trade at moderate prices
through a system o. priority export
licenses. The programme, it is said,
also includes financial and trade ar
langements.

u. S. Is Dismantling
Naval Bases in Ireland

QUEENSTOWN, Ireland, Dec. 20
tCorreponsdente of The Associated
Press Plans for the dismantirg of
the American naval stations in and
around Queenstown are going forward
rapidly Time will be required to re-
move the hospital at Whitepoint, and
much work will be involved in remov-
ing the many big warehouses which
were brought here from America and
set up in record time. Other impor-
tant parts of the American plan in
clude wireless stations at Queenstown
and Aglada and many hutments.
American officers and men have made
deep impression on the people of
Queenstown and in other parts of
South Ireland, and relations generally
have been of the most cordial nature.
This is proved by the fact that num-
ber of weddings have already taken
place, and more than one American
sailor has promised to return for the
girl he must leave behind.
Queenstown has prospered greatly
since the station was established here,
but the people declare their regret in
seeing the Americans depart is because
they have become accustomed to their
presence and like them for the fine
young fellows they are.

Universal Suffrage Granted
In Ne1U German Constitution
Religious Freedom Also Is Guaranteed i'm Charter
as Drawn Up by Leaders To Be Submitted to
New Assembly That Has Just Been Elected

BASLE, Jan. 21-The draft of the
many, recently prepared, provides that
all Germans shall have the same rights
before the law and tht all privileges
and advantages of birth, social condi-
tion or creed shall be bolished, accord
ing to Berlin advices received here.
The free exercise of religious practice
is guaranteed, within the limits of
morality and public order, and no one
shall be compelled to take part in any
religious act or ceremony or to make
known his religious convictions. 1t is
provided that the authorities shall have
no right to ask questions on this sub
ject.
Scientific instruction, the measure
phovides, shall be free and accessible
10 all Germans according to their Ca
pacities. 1t is proposed that the pres
ent distribution of landed property
shall be modified by a comprehensive
process, with a view to the repopulation
of the country districts. Colonization
there has not been sas yet a reasonable
fusion of the great, medium sized and
small properties.
Two Chambers Called For
In it's main feature the proposed
constitution, which has been drafted
under government auspices, provides
for Retchstag composed of two cham
bers, one to be popular chamber and
the other to be chosn by the states
The peoples chhmbr shall be composed
of Deputies of the united German peo-
pie, elected by secret, direct and uni
versal ballot. All men and women over
twenty years of age may vote. The
lower chamber is to be composed of
representatives of the various states.
The duration of the Legislative mandate
of both chambers would be three years
The drafters of the bin evidently
had in mind a highly centralized gov
ernmnt, with full control over most of
the activities upon which the people
ar dependent. 1t characterizes as i'm
perial matter" the following:
Foreign relations, the defence of the
empire, the administration of the banks
New-York tribune., 1919-01-22

Austro- Hungary, and possibly Ger
many, a further relaxation of the
p.locHade, TO permit the importation of
llmltcd quantities of raw Materials.
These Imports, however. would not
be enough to permit the Central Pow
ers to resume international commercial
competition while the Allied countries
are still laboring under the handicap
OF the devastation of their chief indus
trial regions, the spoilation of indus
trial plants, the transformation of the
great bulk of their remaining factories
INTO war plants, and the absence OF
industrial laborers who arc still under
arms. The manufacture of textiles for
example, is urgently required to meet
the needs of enemy populations, and
the production of other materials is
held to be absolutely indispensable
This. it is said, would facilitate relief
measures and alleviate conditions of
unemployment upon which Bolshevism
thrives, particularly in Hungary
While proper safeguards will be
needed to bar any possibility of ex-
porting goods at the enormous prices
now paid for clothing and articles of
household consumption, it is felt that
the pressure Of public opinion in en-
cmy countries will be sufficient to keep
goods" at home for many months.
The problem of trade restrictions on
neutrals. as part of the enemy block
;tde is also under consideration. There

States Are Divided
Germany, under the draft of the
proposed new constitution, is divided
into several federated republics. These
political divisions, according to wire
less dispatch from Berlin to-day, in
clude the following:
The Republic Of Berlin, heading the
list of the federated republics, and in
cluding the city and rural districts of
Greater Berlin, with about 10000
600 inhabitants.
The Republic of Prussia, including
the provinces of East and West Prus-
sia and the Bromberg district.
Posen and the Sudetes regions east of
Bohemia.
The Republic of Brandenburg, in
Guiding that part of Brandenburg out

Pomerania. Altmark and the two Neck
lenburgs.
The Republic OF Lower Saxony, in
cluding Hanover, Schleswig Holstein,
Oldenburg and Brunswick.
The Republic of Westphalia, nclud-
ing Westphalia, Schaumberg Lippe and

The Republic Of Hesse, including
Hesse- Nassau and the Grand Duchy of
Hesse.
The Republic of the Rhineand, in
Guiding the Rhine provinces, Bavarian
Pfalz and the Principally of Birken-
field.
The Erfurt government district is to
go to Greater Thuringia.
The Federal State of German Austria
is also to founded and Vienna, like
Berlin, is to become subject to the
state government. Parts of German
Austria are to go to Silesia, Upper
