Mr Chamberlain went on to say that a great and beneficial change had n the past week come over the situation Europe, as a result of British Initiative. “The interest of this country is now, as it always has been, in the preservation of peace, but it is npt enough for us to say we ourselves do not intend to go to war. Our interests He deeper than that. It is our duty, by every effort we can make, by every influence we can exert, to compose differences, and act as meditators —to try to devise , methods by which other countries may be delivered from the great menace of i war.”
