BRITAIN AND GERMANY.
THE KAISER'S LETTER
STATEMENT BY LORD TWEEDMOUTH.
LONDON, March 6. Lord Tweedmouth authorises the statement that the Kaiser's letter was a purely personal one, and did not contain any reference to the |British Naval Estimates. Further 'information will be given to Parliament. Lord Tweedmouth added that the letter was not addressed to him in his capacity of First Lord of the Admiralty. ► Lord Tweedmouth's secretary, m- ■','- terviewed, said the letter did not contain any reference to the British Naval Estimates in the way suggested. He declined to say wiiether it referred to the German naval policy. The "Westminster Gazette" agrees in the general principle that it would be inconvenient for a Sovereign to correspond with the Ministers of another Power, but adds that the Kaider is unconventional, and that when he departs from tradition it must in nowise be assumed that he of some Machiavellian design upon the innocence or independence of his neighbours. Nothing could be more absurd that the suggestion that Lord Tweedmouth was influenced toward economy by the, Kaiser's representations. Other newspapers ask for more light.
