GERMAN FEELING TOWARDS BRITAIN.
Spkaking to an Auckland Herald representative concerning German feeling towards Great Britain, Dr. Manes, lecturer on the science of insurance at the University of Commerce, Berlin, stated that there was no excitement in Germany corresponding to the recent naval scare in Britain. He did not think the nations wanted to fight, and he himself would regard a contest between German and Britain much as a contest between a tiger and a whale. He mentioned that in conversation with an Australian politician he had brought up this matter, and asked the Australian why there should be such jealousy. The Australian had replied: “Well, it’s like this—we want a navy, and we must give some excuse for keeping one, so we say we fear the Germans.” Dr Manes object in visiting New Zealand is to study our social legislation, of which he is a keen student.
