PEACE OF THE WORLD
THE KAISER'S STATEMENT
CHRISTIANIA, May 25.
Mr Lovlind, president of the Nobel Committee. Christiania, accepts the Matin's statement that the Kaiser, conversing with M. Pichon in a tone of evident sincerity, developed the theory that the great nations of Europe should, in the interest of humanity and civilisation, remain closely united, and cooperate with a view to forming a powerful peace confederation. He says the statement is all the more probable as the Kaiser had just met Mr Roosevelt at Berlin, while Mr Roosevelt had uttered the same idea at Christiania.
The new point is that the most prominent statesmen are seriously discussing the question. The difficulties are many and great, but statesmen solving the problem in a practical form will earn a greater name in history than the founders of the great states.
BERLIN, May 26
It is semi-officially announced in Berlin that the Kaiser expressed to M. Pichon his confidence in the maintenance of European peace and his determination to do his utmost to contribute to its continuance, but the idea of a European confederation was not mentioned and was not taken into his Majesty's consideration.
