COMMERCIAL PACT
SOON IN OPERATION
kngIo-German Treaty, Just
Signed, Ends Abnormal
+ Situation.
Br the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 5.-The Anglo
German commercial treaty, signed by
the representatives of both countries
Tuesday. was published teXtually
Yesterday. 1t brings to an end the
abnormal situation which lasted over
n quarter of century, as there had
been no defined treaty of commerce
between Great Britain and Germany
since 1898. pre-war relations having
been governed by formal arrange
ments which gave substantially most
favored nation treatment.
Mutual Advantages Assured.
The treaty gives extensive mutual
advantages and, before it can become
operative, certain forms of disability
affecting German citizens and com
panies resulting from war legislation
will need to be removed by iegisla
tive action These disabilities chiefly
affect the engaging in banking and
the non-ferrous metal industries by
German citizens and the employment
Of Germans on British ships.
The agreement is to remain in force
Tor five years.
Loyd-Greame, president of the
board of trade, discussing the treaty,
said ii was the most comprehensive
o. any most favored nation treaty
was outside the treaty. he said, but
England maintained that the % per
cent recovery tax is subject to d re-
vision provided some alternative
method can be produced which has
the assent of all the necessary parties
and which gives the same amount of
cash to the British government with
the same rights of priority"
He added that the British govern
Tent was prepared to consider favor
ably such alternatives.
Power of the Colonies.
Mr.. Lloyd-Greame pointed out that
the dominions and colonies have the
power to adhere to the treaty when
ever they wish and there is a pro-
vision in the agreement that as long
a. amy dominion gives most-favored-
nation treatment to Germany, it
should have full rights under the
treaty for a period of two years. The
right to give preference under the
treaty is maintained intact.
Under the treaty. Germans and
Tnglishmen were granted mutual
rights in respect to person and prop
erty in each others territory. This
will allow the Germans to reopen
vast numbers of banks and CONNER
Cial houses which flourished in Lon
don before the war.
