various arts and organizations arrested the German emigration to
America. She saw to it that employment at home was more stable. It
was figured that if the German emigration could be centralized under
the German eagle it would be to her advantage. The question was where
to get land that could be made German. Europe has for some years
expected a German dash in Patagonia, and the Europeans outside of
Germany have taken very kindly of late years to the Monroe Doctrine.
In Africa and the islands of the sea the German colonial policy has not
been a success. Dr. Dernburg as colonial secretary has many a time
stood up in the Reichstag and warned the Germans that the home military
system and rules were not adaptable to colonization in foreign parts;
that Germans must adapt themselves to foreign countries and not attempt
at first to make their manners the standard in the colonies they
undertook to dominate.

While German colonies have not yet passed beyond the experimental
stage, German tariffs and German commerce have been great successes.

The population of Russia is 166,000,000 people. This is the latest
figure I gathered from those intimate with the government at St.
Petersburg. This is just 100,000,000 more than Germany. Germany
thinks she must trade to her own advantage with the people now crowding
her eastern border.

The example of America in putting up tariff bars against "Made in
Germany" has many advocates in England and in the rest of the world.

When France, only a few years ago, was angered that Italy should sign
up in "triple alliance" with Austria and Germany, she did not dare to
attack Italy with arms, but she did attack Italy by tariff measures,
