HERTLING'S SPEECH

OPINIONS OF LORD LANSDOWNE

"MARKS A PERCEPTIBLE ADVANCE"

(Rec. March 6, 7.50 p.m.)

London, March 5. The Marquis of Lansdowne. in a letter tp the "Daily Telegrapn," savs that Count von Hertling's speech is unsatisfactory at many points, but it marks. a perceptible advance. He agrees with Mr. Balfour that it would not be wise to begin negotiations unless some measure of potential preliminary agreement existed, and suggests that preliminary conversations are necessary to secure such agreement. Count Hertling's references to Belgium certainly imply conditions which would prevent her having an independent place among the nations of Europe. If, however, Count Hertling merely requires a guarantee that Belgium should not become a jumping-off ground for enemy machinations it should not be difficult to satisfy him. He suggests that the dialogue should be continued and not allowed to lapse into internal discussion. He further suggests that questions regarding the occupied portions of France,. 'Alsace-Lorraine, the Turkish Empire, and Italy's claims on Austria should be remitted to an international peace conference. —Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn. THE DANGER OF^THE PACIFISTS WHEN GERMANY DESIRED PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. London, March 5. Sir Auckland Geddes (Minister of National Service), in a speech at Aldershot, discussing the German war'aims, said the most, dangerous time would be when Germany, for her own purposes, desired peace negotiations on the understanding that it was a drawn fight. Then the pacifists, who were not numerous but very vocal, would redouble their efforts for peace. Such conditions would mean that the world would sleop with a "Bayonet and rifle by its side. Security was impossible until the Germans have been. convinced • that their dootrine of superiority is false — Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
