GERMANY’S RELATIONS.

WITH ENGLAND AND FRANCE.

By Electric [United Tress -Association.]

Berlin, November

The most interesting part of Prince Bulow’s forthcoming work, “Germany under William the Second,” relates to the attitude of Britain and France to Germany. France, he says, would Attack Germany if and when she hough herself srong enough. England would only attack if sue concluded she could carry through vital economical and political interests against Gernany by force. The main spring of England’s political attitude is national egotism; France’s is national idealism.

Now that Germany is possessed of ufficient power of naval defence, says Vince Bnlow, her relations with Engand can he genuinely and unreservedv friendly. Hie Kaiser has labored ■ hole-heartedly to establish a good reitionship. Germany's position has •hanged as compared with 15 years ■go. The problem was to avoid a •onflict with England until a fleet was milt. In those days Germany’s for>ign policy was subservient to the ■ rmaments problem. Now a correct •elationship has been re-established, md the armaments question is subservient to foreign policy. She need io longer anxiously avoid an injiry o her safety by land or sea by Engand, but may throw the power nto the ;cale of defence with honor in her inerests against England by *ea, as she lid centuries ago against other C’oninental Powers by land. Prince Bulow attributes to the Emperor William personally the conception if a great fleet in 1897.
