COMPLETE BUNK
THE KAISER’S COMMENT
HALDANE’S EFFORTS FOR PEACE s6me remarkable revelations (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Berlin, November 30. Marginal notes by the ex-Kaiser to letters written by Lord Haldane in 1912 endeavouring to establish an understanding between Wilhelm and his advisors are a sensational feature of the final volume of the archives of the German Foreign Office. “Complete bunk,” and “Without consequences,” scribbled Wilhelm against Lord Haldane’s remark to the effect that Beth-mann-HoHweg’s speeches were well received in Britain, and against another to the effect that no government would be able to quieten public opinion in England, and that the consequences were not calculable if Germany, through Austria were involved in a war with France, Wilhelm wrote, “We’ve calculated all right.”
Against Lord Haldane’s reference to the theory of the balance of power as an axiom of British foreign policy the Kaiser wrote: “Sheer rubbish; it will make England our eternal enemy.”—A. and N.Z.
