two nations. It is true that owing to siun of the Freas both there sad here public opinion hus been largely poisoned. It is therefore high time to put an end to the Pram foud, and in allow those persons to speak in both countries who understand the other country and its people. What is added in explanation of the alleged enmity of the two nations! There is first of all the question of the Navy. Our constantly increasing Nary is said to be a thorn in the flush of the English. I do not think that there is a single Englishman capable of reasonable thought who disputes Germany's right to provide itself with a Navy such as is required for the protection of our constantly growing commerce. This certainly involves a monice to Bugland, any more than we have regarded the poormong and yet ever-expanding British Navy as a threat against Germany, Further, a certain envy with regard to Colonial possessions is much spoken of. Certainly the British have taken possession of the finest territories of the Old and Now Worlds, bu when this took place our country, brokon politically

Jute maler Statos, was by no mede in a position to undertake this, and wo have certainly no occasion to regret that it was England which sanexed thess countries, and not another Power, as we see that in so many other jolonies the tendency prevails of closing with the mother country. The Eritish porso.

ions, however, were and are open to to the trade of the entire world, and many a Hanseatic merchant has every reason to remember with gratitude the friendly reception which he has always mot with there, and still meets, and which lias not been the least factor in enabling him to extend German trade and Gorman shipping over this extire world, and to place the products of Gorman industry on the market varywhere, at a time when the German naval flag was still wanting on the ocean. On the other hand, German activity has likewise con- tributed no little to the prosperity of the Fritish colonies.. As a further reason for the alleged samity people speak of the great rivalry in trade, shipping, and industry. They are utterly wrong. Certainly we are all glad that our country, during recent decades, han shown auch an enormous expansion, ia many departments greater, reckoned by percentage. than that of England, but we get a mis- taken view it, as is so often done, these comparisons are expressed in percentages. According to the yearly report before us, last Fear the British steao mercantile marina in oreased by 7 per cent, the German by about 10 par cent, but the real increase of the British amounted to 962000 tons as against 266,00 tous of the German marine, the British advance has therefore not only got fallen off, but has grown greater. Even, however, if it were quite otherwise, the ides of employing force for meeting commercial competition is quite au unfortunate ous. It is based on the fallacy that one's own economie intareats may be most. effectively promoted by injury of the interesta of others; but the contrary is the case: pro pority of one country in each instanco hau a favourable rouotion timate are the mutual relations, Gentlemen, since I have beau a merobant I have always had British merchants an my competitors, but this business competition, during the long years which I passed in a British Colony with Englishmen ever impaired the permnal rels tions between us, and often, during the frequent changes of the political horizon, I discussed politics with British competitors, who were at the same time friends. The final outcome was always W Whatever other nations do, we two, Ger we bare a common interest in the maiutaunaco Germans and British, are commercial peoples; of the policy of the open-door, and in partienlar of p-acs overywhara.

JAPANESE GOVERNMENT'S CHINESE POLICY.

The Jiji Shivapo urges the Government to take concerted action with England and America to prevent any serious outbreak in China and at ohuria. There the same time to susure the opening of Man- Bramazy measures of diplomatic wharacter, wye our contemporary, which should be done by the Government with as little delay as possible. Now thus the evacuation of Japanese from Manchuria has unes con pleted it is censury the Chimost Government shoald be required to carry out its promises regarding the opening to trade of the various towns in Stangheria so as to give equal opportunity to all forsignors. The guascal

state of affairs in China is far from stiefactory. as is evidenced by the prevalence of the* rights and futarosts recovary" propaganda and the consequent ontbreak of quti-foreigu foeling.

Under present cirenmstancia, continues the Jiji, it is not at all surprising that the Ameri- cau Government should centemplate sending reiuforestments to the Philippines. What is most approhended is that the individun! nocion of the flowers, whom interests in China are of their relations with China warie confounded. a most complicated character, should maka There is no denying that the Chinese ovinge a considerable amount of antagonism aguinat Americans as manifestes in the boycutt. Also there is little doubt that Chinese regarding the British and Japanese with a feeling of entagonism, and under auch circumstances it would be more advantageons for the Powers to take concerted action with regard to China than to not individually,

It is rather curious to observo, however, con- tinnes the Jiji, while others are considering to sond reinforcements to China one Powar is actually carrying out the withdrawal of its troops. It is not at all improbsh's therefore that some Power, in order to further its own interests, will attempt to break the harmony that is now painting between Japan, England, ut America with regard to their China policy. The policy of these thres Powers, ju the miniter of the maintenance of China's integrity, osin- cides without quest
