NOME, ALASKA, OCT 8, 1915...
With tile granting Ol oxtruoidinar)
plenary powers to Ambassador iinn
turff, Uie German-American situation.
, i n reference to me Arabic case, lion
timed something of a farcical as
pect in outward appearances at least.
Not that tile same strain of deadly
■ riousm ss does not obtain in the case
of the United Stales, as before, but
rather that the German attitude is
uggestive of a resolution to humor
fault finding America at all most any
,t in order to avoid undesirable un
,lieasantness. This attitude is dis
played in amusing manner in the re
cent amiable adjustment of the Arabic
case through tile prompt disavowal of
responsibility for that disaster when
it was found that such action was de
sirable to the United States. One day
Germany sends a note claiming Justi
fication for the action of her subma
rine commander in attacking that ves
sel and the next day her ambassador
P' nly disavows the representations
contained therein after learning that
v were not agreeable. Although
action is eminently satisfactory j
ihe United States, as one denuding
situation of nil undesirable con
inip ncies, the German method of
I locating her disagreeable neighbor i
verily appears as If that nation shrug
fed its shoulders after listening to the
American complaint and closed the
incident with. "Well, have it your own
way." as long as there la no other way
he pleases you."
I i many respects the whole affair
savors of tlie ridiclous, and while the
adage, "Least said, soonest mended,"
undoubtedly applies as far as Ameri
ca is concerned, when one looks the
Arabic case over it appears that Ger
many is offering a rather doubtful
balm to salve the hurt of which the
1 ’nltcd Ktaes complains. Above nil,
anything to please you” attitude
of Germany brings the whole matter
ilmost down to the level of u Joke,
especially because of the fact that
Germany has little fear that a con
trrn-y attitude "ill result in any liras
tic action by the United States. Qer
iiy is not afraid of the United
States tn the least, knowing that she
is in no position to injure herself at
lit and the probable reason for
lie action is that she does not care
i i>e bothered with the United States
I her interminable complaints, ho
ng too busy with weightier matters.
However, "air* well that ends well"
and tve can afford to overlook the
seeming levity of the German attitude
even If it does rdnee us In a somewhat
ridiculous light. Como to think of It
our own part in the negotiations re
sulting from the submarine warfare
was not without a suspicion of comedy
Which at times degenerated almost to
farce. Germany Is unquestionably
trying to do the right thing at present,
whatever may be her motives, and we
therefore have little reason to take
inception to the method although it
may appear that she Is laughing up
1 er sleeve while preserving an atti
tude of good natured tolerance toward
c.ur fobiles.
When this war is over and Uermunj
starts to build up anew its suspended
industries and its overseas trade, upon
..<m'li thong industries in the pust
| nine relied largely for their support,
oe wilt have a different world to face
man that of two years ago. it will
a desperate and at the start almost
■> hopeless task to get such a trade
with king land, with lielgium, with
iiussia, and with u,e nnigusu ui el Sean
possessions us Germany once enjoyed,
r emaps it will be a run geneiation
uelure me German bland upon an
article offered ror suie in any or muse
countries wui not repel possible pur
c nuses.
t ile inurkel ol the U ruled plates is
tile one to which Germany will turn
at once When tier Industries ate re
u&lablished and her snips again per
mited to ply tiie ocean. Kvery effort
i me German government will be lent
to aid the Gerinuh manufacturer to
capture as large share as possible of
too trade of tile United States. Ger
man ships wili carry Germun goods
lu re more cheaply than they will ear
ly any other clues of goods to any
other market. Government owned rail
roads will dlscrimnate in favor of the
export trade as of yore. Cartels will
be formed for the supply of German
.-puids to this market at prices which
the American manufacturer cannot
meet, with the more highly paid labor.
If ever this country needed ample
protection to American Industry it
..ill be in the years after the present
war is over and Germany is endeavor -
a to regain her old commercial posi
tion and enlarge her trade here to
compensate for the markets which will
be closed to her elsewhere.
The war has operated as a pro
tective tariff, closing our market to
German goods, most of which arc
similar to those which we produce at
home or can produce at home. Gut it
will require high protection to save
our own industries from the fiercest
competition when the war ends.—Ex.
