BRITAIN AND GERMANY.
VIEWS OF BRITISH STATESMEN
(Press Assn. — By Telegraph.-^Copyright.) (Received May 25, 8.10 a.m.) .BERLIN, May 24. The magazine Nordundshd contains a symposium, wherein Mr Balfour gives the British standpoint, remarking that tho uneasiness wherewith the xiiation. contemplates the possible development of the German policy 'throws a shadow across England, irrespective of parly or creed. He contends that if Germany were paramount to the British m Home waters she could conquer or starve us, whereas if we were ten-fold masters of the North Sea we Avould lie unable to apply either method to Germany. Lord Haldanc enlarges on the peace argument from the literary and philosophical traditions. Mr Bonar Law declares that the best and- perhaps the only absolute security of peace lies m each country's realising tlie strength of the other, and realising that whatever their respective domestic differences, each is prepared to defend to the last her rights and honor.'
