NO SABRE BATTLING

GERMANY'S ONLY WAY. MARX REPUDIATES JUNKERS. Press Association— By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, November 6. (Received November 7, at 9.30 a.m.) The Berlin correspondent of ‘ The Times’ telegraphs: “ I am opposed to the inclusion of the Nationalists in the Government, tho principal business of which will be to conduct Germany’s foreign affairs,” declared Dr Marx, in an election speech at Munster. He emphasised that Germany could not afford to bo considered abroad as equivocal and unreliable. “My view is,” said Dr Marx, “ that the admission of the Nationalists into the Cabinet would be calculated to reawake foreign mistrust of Germany. What the consequences of renewed mistrust would bo it is not possible to foresee, but they might easily affect the evacuation of the Ruhr.” Germany’s foreign policy, he added, must be based on mutual understanding. Germany might thump the table and rattle the sabre, hut the other nations were strongly armed, whereas Germany was disarmed and defenceless; therefore the only way to freedom lay through calm negotiations.—‘ The Times.’
