THE TRADE WAR
GERMAN SAYS GERMANY ' CAN
NOT BE ELIMINATED
(Received June 1, 8.55 a.m.)
ZURICH, May 31
Herr Heineken, director of the North German Lloyds, declares that Germany can complacently await the threatened commercial war. Englishmen apparently have forgotten that Mr Chamberlain's idea of a Greater Britain in an Imperial and eeonomis sense was frustrated owing to the opposition of the colonies, which feared the loss of the German market. These conditions have not changed to-day. A boycott of German trade after the war would merely drive all neutrals into Germany, who would naturally offer them specially advantageous terms. Germany cannot be eliminated economically without bringing down the whole fabric .of the world's economy, burying her foes and. neutrals alike.
LONDON, May 31. Hen* Ha-llin, in his statement to the shipping company, added : "After a
successful war, we must settle the freedom of the seas question for the German colonies in order that Germany shall not merely be England's . lodger."
