The Stratford Evening Post WITH WHICH IS INCORPORATED THE EGMONT SETTLER. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1913. ENGLAND AND GERMANY.

Professor H. Oncker, in the course oi an article in the Quarterly .Review on Germany under the rule of William IT, expresses the view that it is unquestionable that William If. has strong hereditary sympathies with England, and that ho has ahvays admired English habits and customs, and the greatness of English maritime development has helped to kindle in Ids receptive mind the idea of emulating that model. The professor speaks of "the recognition of the principle that equality of strength confers equality of. rights." But Great Britain has never accepted the purely Teutonic conception that might is actually synonymous with right. The contributor points to the co-operation of Great Britain with Germany during the past year in preserving the general peace in Kuropo in spite of the Balkan war, and deduces the expectation that the rapprochement will eventually lead to an Anglo-German agreement. "Such an arrangement, embracing, as it . J naturally would, both the Near East ' land Central Africa, would inspire the ." German people with the conviction that England is prepared loyally to throw open to them the roads which have hitherto heen kept systematically f barred against them."
