AN IMPORTANT SPEECH. Herr Bulow made a powerful speech in asking for a bill of indemnity to cover unsanctioned expenditure on account of the China expedition and for supplementary credit. He denounced the equivocation and inaction of the Tsung-Li-Yamen, and stated that on members of that body rested the responsibility of the spread of the Boxers' movement, and on the latter the general assault on Europeans and on civilisation. The Allies were acting in self-detence ; Germany was seeking no conquest, but she desired to maintain the influence accruing from the present movements and a fair share of what was to be won in China without overreaching anyone without permitting anyone to overreach her. Germany preferred that China should remain unpartitioned,
well ordered and solvent. Germany had no need to acquire territory and overstrain her resources, nor had she any reason to be confined to a given territory, inasmuch as German trade was now ranking second in amount in China and was widespread long anterior to the acquisition of Kiachou. Germany would not allow any infringement of her rights, but "would continue in peaceful competition with other nations on the basis of " Live y^fcfnd let live." That was the object of ie Anglo-German agreement ; to /hose principles othernations straightforwardly agreed.
