HELSINGFOllS, Dee. 10. Unox
peeted opposition to IImshui'm appar
ent plan for tho complete absorption
of Finland has doveloped on tho part
of Germany according to advices re
ceived today from St. Petersburg.
Tho German dissatisfaction with
Russia's intention is bused upon Itiw
sin's nuununeed determination to ni
ter tho Finnish tariff under which
German traders now do a profitable
business with this country. Tho kai
ser's government, the message states,
already has communicated with Rus
sia, declaring that German commer
cial interests demand (ho mainte
nance of tho present trade regula
tions nud insists that if a change is
to be made the Itusso-Gonunu treaty
of commerce makes it mandatory
upon tho Russian government to is
sue a warning two years previous toj
the appliaetion of a tariff.
Tho situation is said (o have be- j
come most einhnrrassing for the Rus
sians. It is apparent that action of
Germany may havu an important ef
fect upon tho czar's intention to Rus-'
sinuize Finland. The attitude Rus
sia will assume in the light of the un-'
expected development is causing no
little dicuHsion here.
