By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright, United Press Association.

Loudon, February 9

The Times’ Berlin correspondent states that Lord Haldane is engaged in an authoritative but theoretically unofficial discussion on Anglo-German relations, in order to learn the true nature of the German policy and to explain the British policy. The majority of newspapers are sympathetic in regard to improved relations, but are reserved regarding the possible details.

IMPRESSING THE GERMANS

London, February 9.

Mr Churchill’s firm tone at Glasgow is interpreted as a desire to. impress Germans in connection with Lord Haldane’s visit, that Britain intends to maintain her present naval supremacy and will not seek a mutual agreement under any alleged financial or other pressure. Sir E. Gray notified France and Russia, prior to the Berlin visit, 'that if Lord Haldane discussed political questions they would be kept informed.
