QUEEN VICTORIA AND GERMANY
Friendly Letters To Hohenzollerns
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Berlin, September 20.
Under a headline “Queen VictoriaFriend of Germany” the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung with King Edward’s permission is publishing 23 of Queen Victoria’s letters to members of the Hohenzollern family, which were recently discovered in the archives of the House of Brandenburg. Almost all are written in German. In one, dated 1870, Queen Victoria says: “A powerful Germany can never be dangerous to England, but quite the contrary. Our principal aim, therefore, is to try and ensure that she adopts a friendly and trustful attitude towards us.” The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung comments: “To the loss of world peace, Edward VII did not adopt these ideas.”
