The truth is tba t~ sympathy cf
Messrs. SmiUie "and Com~any with Germany is wholly mispL'\ced.
At eve.ry
stage of the gigantic conflict GermallY
always bad friends in this coulltry,
working either cO'lsciously or unconsciously in ber interests, ~ and it is ! not
without significance that the signing 01
the treaty which everything was done to
avert should be accompanied by fres])
threats to attempt to use Habour for un-~oing it. It is Perfectly obvious that
Ger~y is well able to . take care of herself. and our difliculty will be to keep bet
within bounds in the future. It ftSU
\fith ~ermany herself w ther in couxse
df time she will have so c anged. tbat she
cali be freely admitted to the council ~
nations.
