CART BEFORE HORSE.
German View of. Collective Peace Proposal. “PRACTICAL POLICY” ADOPTED. United Press Assn.—By Telegraph— Copyright. (Received June 24, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, June 23. The Foreign Office states that the Anglo-German conversations followed similar friendly lines to those with the representatives of other Governments. Though the views exchanged were necessarily tentative, regarding naval limitation would be confidentially communicated to other Powers. Herr J. von Ribbentrop nn an interview interpreted the agreement as the beginning of a practical peace policy, since it permanently settled the vital Anglo-German naval problem. Europe previously undertook too much instead of tackling its problems seriatim. The collective peace system was the cart before the horse. Germany wanted a system based on facts, not theories of friendship. This should be the foundation of any League of Nations, but the world could get there only step by step. Herr von Ribbentrop scouted the insinuation that Gerirfany had attempted to drive a wedge between France and England. He added: We are now on the best road to secure close collaboration between England. France and Germany.
