IN GERMANY.
THROTTLING GERMAN TRADE.
A GERMAN OPINION. (Received June 1, 8.55 a.m.) -ZURICH,; May-31, Herr Heineken, a director of the North German Lloyd, declares that Germany can complacently :iwait the threatened commercial war. Ho states that Englishmen have apparently forgotten that the late Joseph Chamberlain's idoa of a Greater Britain, in the Imperial and economic sense, was frustrated owing'to the opposition of the colonies, which'feared tho loss of the German market. Those conditions were not changed to-day, and to boycott German trade after the war would merely drive all neutrals' into Germany, who would naturally offer thorn specially advantageous terms. Germany could not be eliminated economically without bringing down the whole fabric of the world's economy, burying iocs and neutrals alike.
