FRANCE'S SUCCESS
AT OTHERS* EXPENSE
"lv. Europe there is one nation, which by tenacity of purpose, and astute diplomatic cleverness, has been very successful for herself but at the expenso of everyone else," said Mr. W. Penseler, Consul-General for Germany in New Zealand and Samoa, who returned to Wellington this morning by the Maunganui from Sydney after a twelve months' holiday trip abroad. In an interview with a "Post" representative, Mr. Penseler said that that nation was the father of all obstacles, and the question was how much longer it would be able to impose its will upon the world. "The big conferences pending this month ami next should supply the answer," he said. "Whatever happens Germany will pull through and survive as a nation. The terrible hardships and the prolonged suffering have made a number of her people desperate, but the- majority suffer in silence. In the course of time Germany is likely to evolve new ways in economics, politics, and religion."
Questioned about Germany's attitude towards France, Mr. Penseler said that Germany desired to bring about a state whereby the countries could respect each other and leave each other alone. "We are- not likely to fraternise with the French people because their ways and aims and genoral outlook differ too much from ours," ho concluded.
