BRITAIN AND GERMANY
"No mutual and legitimate sacrifice for the end of an honest Anglo-German agreement is too great; no object should be pursued with greater resolution or more steady-eyed patience; nothing would help more to dilutc the poisons in the air. A complete change of mind, and outlook, a change well grounded in knowledge and inspited by lasting aims of economio and international cooperation, is essential. Let us cease carrying on controversy a ggressively, as if to disturb and not to settle. Let us have done with the usual evasion of the strong points of the other side, the usual exaggeration of the weak ones; that is litigation, the lawyer's captious and refining spirit, and far from the wide horizons and noble art of preventive diplomacy. We want to learn Cromer's wisdom, as Lord Milner did, that in a eomplex problem there is always1 a single key-point. In the existing imbroglio of Europe, where political and economic considerations are almost inextricably involved, that single key-point lies in cordial relations between Great Britain and Gei-many."' — Mr Alwyn Parker, in "Lloyds Bank Monthly Review."
