Sueli mt-thods in ncgot ial ions bcfwccn ccpial Powcrs cannot have any success. " "The question of the shipping trade on the Danube would seeni a simple uneomplicated matter. It is natural that the non-Danubian States should not dictato llieir private views on the orgauisat ion of the Danube shipping.
