THE COUNSEL OF PERFECTION
GERMAN-AMERICAN PAPER'S ADVICE < FOR ENGLISH COLONIES PEACE WITH FREEDOM' (Rec. February 3, 11.30 p.m.)' London, February 3. The- "Daily Mail" gives prominence to an article taken from the GermanAmerican weekly "Fatherland," headed "For English Colonies Peace With Freedom." It appeals to Australia and New Zealand, "the jewels of tlo gracchi," set in the Pacific, to yield to the inevitable and declare their separation from Britain in order to avoid an unhappy fortune when the late "mistress of the seas" has surrendered the Trident, and adds: "The honours of the naval war are_ yours. The capture of the Etnden, which looms : large and bright in a long series of Allied disasters, will not be held against you in the final reckoning with a generous adversary."* ■ , The journal appeals to Ireland- and Canada to throw off the British yoke. The article admits the advice is the counsel of perfection and may be regarded as premature, -even impudent, but the truth of the counsel is uncontrovertable.
