THE KAISER'S LETTER.
FRIENDLY AND FRANK. ONE SAILOR TO ANOTHER. SPEECH BY PRINCE BULOW. By Telegraph.—Press Association.— (Received March 25, 11.35 p.m.) BEIIiJN, March 25. Speaking in the Reichstag on foreign affairs the Imperial Chancellor (Prince Von Billow) made an unsympathetic reference to Sir Edward Grey's scheme for, Macedonian reform as jeopardising the Sultan a. sovereignty, and gave reasons for his anticipation that the Concert of the Powers would be maintained. Prince Btllow referred at great length to the Kaiser's private political letter to Lord Tweedmouth, and emphasised that it was a friendly and frank one, like that of one sailor to another. Each country, he declared, was entitled to fix its own standard of national defence, and he resented the action of a, section of the British press in talking of German danger, when the British navy was several times stronger than the German. Prince Bulow paid a tribute to the manner in which the British Parliament had dealt with the Kaiser's letter incident. The letter was such as mignt be signed by every very sincere friend who desired to see good relations between , Germany and Britain.
