GENTLEMEN, —In accepting• your unexpected invitation to come forward as a Candidate for your borough at the coming election, I feel it due to you as well as myself to state openly my political opinions. In early life I was returned to Parliament as a Radical Re former, and did my duty honestly to the constituents who did me the honour of electing me their Representative; seeking neither profit, position, or advantage for myself or friends ; always voting, not for party objects, but for the measures I felt to be for the advantage of the people of Great Britain. Years have passed, and experience, combined with reflec tion, has but strengthened my determination, if again re turned to Parliament, to pursue the same course, and do my duty to the constituents whose representative I am, by con sulting and advancing as much as I can the interests of the people at large, the Un-represented as well as the Repre sented. My political creed may be summed up in a few words, " a Large Extension of the Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, and, though a member of the Established Church myself, an Abolition of Church Rates, with a total Repeal of the infamous Game Laws, alike a disgrace to their supporters and our Statute Book." I advocate peace, and hope the people of England recollect each Soldier costs them twelve shillings and sixpence per day. If returned to Parliament I will join no factious opposition, but will support any government, be it Derbyite or not, that progress fairly in these matters of Reform. The day of elec tion is so near that a personal canvass is impossible, and I trust the men of Walsall, Electors and non-Electors, who think and feel my Political l'rinciples ought to be supported, will urge their friends to vote for Your humble Servant, ' EDWARD SOUTHWELL RUTHVEN.

MOTION FOR DECREE. -- BRADRURV V. DICKENS. Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., for the plaintiff, applied for the usual decree of dissolution of partnership, and sale of stock, machinery, and plant of the company, and sale of the peri odical literary publication called Dickens's Household Words, in terms of the articles of the company, and notice of dissolution of partnership before the 28th May next. He said the dissolution was solely. .caused by difference of feel ing arising amongst the partners, and there was nothing that affected either the commercial interest or literary cha racter of any of the parties. The usual certificate of disso lution and injunction would be granted. As to the sale of the publication called Household Words, he proposed the court should do what was done in the case of " Cooper v. Wellbrook," where, on the dissolution of a steam boat part nership, the partners did not agree upon a person to conduct the sale, and the court appointed a p erson t o con d uc t th e sa l e, and sell the ship, and if this cause was remitted to chambers, he trusted that the Judge at chambers would give the same directions and make the same appointment, and that the sale of the publication would take place before 28th May, that being the day on which the dissolution of the partner ship would take place, and that there would be the usual decree to take accounts. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., for the defendant, said ho would not object to any minute of agreement assented to by the Court, but there was a material difference between the right of parties in the sale of a publication such as _Dickens's House hold Words, and a publication which was formerly referred to, the Times newspaper, especially under the articles of partnership. A partner or editor retiring from a newspaper does not stop the publication—the publication goes on. But it is expressly provided by the articles of partnership, and declared, that when the defendant (Mr. Diekens) shall cease to conduct this publication, the partnership shall terminate, and the publication and sale of this literary work ceases and terminates also. He would not object to do anything for the advantage of his partners, provided his rights were protected. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said— In point of fact, Mr. Selwyn, what you object to is the use of your periodical by the plaintiffs, or by any person who chooses to buy that publication and chooses to use it in that or any other publication. That being the only question between you—there being no commercial er literary interest7in difference between you—it will bo for you to consider whether it would be advantageous to you for me to remit this case to chambers. Mr. Palmer and Mr. Selwyn consulted together, and in formed his Honour they trusted they would be able to agree on the appointment of an autioneer, who would pre pare such conditions of sale of the publication of tickens's Household Words as would secure the interests of all parties in the sale of that publication. His Honour made no order, but left it to counsel to agree upon and appoint an auctioneer to conduct the sale. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE JAS. POLDEN-APPLICATION FOR PROTECTION AFTER REFUSAL OF CERTIFICATE. Mr. Bayley applied in this case for protection for the bankrupt, whose certificate was wholly refused a short time since and limited protection granted. The bankrupt had carried on business in Leicester-square as a fishing-tackle manufacturer, and had involved himself in some accommo dation-bill transactions, whereby the trustees of the Arna way Charity had been defrauded. The bankrupt had not appealed against the decision, and the present application was for an enlargement of the protection to enable the bankrupt to make arrangements with his creditors, several of whom had accepted a composition. Mr. Warrand, for the assignees, consented. The order was made for further protection for ono month. IN RE ALLEN. This bankrupt was an underwriter at Lloyd's, and is under remand on a charge of misappropriating trust monies on the prosecution of the Bank of England. He was now brought up in custody to surrender under the bankruptcy. Messrs. Paul and Turner have been appointed the ac countants, but the books having been in charge of the police since he was captured at Altona, Denmark. The liabilities are stated to be very large. Messrs. Lowrance and Plews are solicitors to the peti jotting creditor. Bankrupt was taken back to Newgate in custody. DEATH OF THE HON. WILLIAM GORE.—We regret to announce the death of the above gentleman, which took place at an early hour on Satu r d ay morn i ng, a t h is residence in Ebury-street, in the 65th year of his age. LITERATURE? Love me Little, Love me Long. By Charles Reade, author of "It is Never Too Late to Mend." Two Vols. Trubner and Co., Paternoster-row. The appearance of a new work from the pen of Mr. Charles Reade will naturally excite some curiosity and interest in the literary world. The sparkling freshness of Christie Johnstone showed a degree of originality and talent that led readers to anticipate much from the author when time and practice bad matured his style and toned down its extravagance. "Peg Woffington," the original of the charming little drama of "Masks and Faces," did not disappoint these expectations, and after some time, the striking success of his most am bitious work, " It is Never Too Late to Mend," showed that he had not forfeited public favour. With many faults in the construction of the work, and even in the original plan of the story, and with too much of the author's favourite vehemence of style and invective, there was no doubt much to rivet the attention and touch the heart of the rea der, besides a vivacity of description and variety of character well calculated to interest and amuse. Great was, therefore, the disappointment of the admirers of this author when, instead of taking the tide of public favour at its flood, he published a work which it is perhaps kindest to omit from a critical catalogue. A small volume of reprints did not advance his reputation, and we are glad to see he has at last issued an original work in a connected form, which is more worthy of an author who has achieved decided success. Even this work is very inferior to what might have been expected from Mr. Reade. With some powerful passages, some originality, and some skilfully-drawn characters, there is too much diffuseness, too much of his old extravagance, too much imitation of Carlyle's eccentricities of style. Mrs. Bazalgette, for instance, is overdrawn. Great as is the extent of feminine love of finery, few ladies would get up in the middle of the night and knock up another lady for the sake of trying on her dress. The chief object Mr. Reade appears to have set himself is the delineation of a young lady's character, a som ew h a t awk ward and difficult task. His heroine, Lucy Fountain, is an orphan, who divides her time between her uncle, Mr. Fountain, an old bachelor, and her aunt, Mrs. Bazalgette, a married flirt. Each takes great pains to open her eyes to the selfishness of the other, which is sufficiently per ceptible to the reader from the first. Each has a particular friend they want 'her to marry—Mr. Fountain, a country gentleman ; Mrs. Bazalgette, a wealthy banker. Lucy is a beautiful and amiable girl, not at all above the weaknesses and tricks of her sex, but gifted with remarkable tact and courtesy of manner. She has scarcely an opinion of her own ; she is like the chameleon, changing with every change of atmosphere. " The courtier," and " my Lady Chesterfield," are terms frequently applied to her by the author. There is another aspirant to her favour in the shape of David Dodd, a young sailor, the first mate of an Indiaman, and the object of adoration to his sister Eve, who is one of the most original c h arac t ers i n the book. Into the fashionable and hollow circle surrounding the fair Lucy, DavidDodd comes with the freshness and sometimes the bluffness of one of his own sea breezes. He is one of those fine natural characters, with great hearts and simple minds, whom Mr. Reade delights in depicting. Entirely ignorant of conventional forms, he is possessed of a natural kindly courtesy to rich and poor alike, which even the somewhat artificial Lucy cannot fail to appreciate. But Mr. Reade, in his desire to make him entirely devoid of affectation, has sometimes gone to the other extreme, and mad e hi m t a lk in rather too nautical a fashion continually. The cross purposes played at by this band of plotters and counter plotters, and the final denouement of the romance, we shall leave the reader to gather from the sale itself, as it would be anticipating the author's elaborate contrivances. The work is full of animation, and is likely to entertain a large circle of novel readers. It spares them any deep or thrilling interest, and does not make too great a demand upon their sym pathies by pictures of sorrow and trial. David Dodd seems to be about the only individual encum bered with a heart; all the rest are elegant, sneer ing automata, scarcely excepting the fair heroine herself, who with all her amiability is somewhat cold-hearted and artificial. She improves, however, as the story advances, and we leave her under the promise of still further improvement. The passage relating to the little vessel in the storm, and Lucy's marine adventures, is full of spirit and interest. Altogether, the work is likely to be a favourite with many, though not all that might have been expected from a writer of Mr. Reade's undoubted powers. " A Good Time Coming." By the Author of " Mathew Paxton." This is an entertaining novel, and while it does not present anything striking to the notice of the reader, it exhibits so much good sense and right feeling, that it has many claims on the attention. The chief person in the story is Oswald Shakeshaft, who is a fine character. There is something noble in his great powers of endurance, his unshaken faith in the value of perseverance, and his energetic pursuance of every purpose he had once under taken. He did not exhibit these qualities in the sunshine of prosperity, but it was through storm and shade, in suffering . and distress, that his high spirit sought its lofty aim, and his intelligent mind disclosed its resources, and developed its hidden powers. It was at a period of great national distress that the story opens, and succeeding years added to the burdens of the poor, and increased the peril of the oppressed operatives. The sad effects of this calamity are powerfully shadowed forth, and the depression that wears away the spirits, and seems to consume the powers of endurance as a moth fretting a garment, is ably described as the worst enemy in those troublesome times. Oswald dis played far greater foresight than his companion and .fe/low-labourer, Philip Scarisbrick, who was greatly appalled at the direful prospects before them. The concluding passages of the story are of exciting interest, and the reader sympathises with the difficulties that surrounded the partners in their momentous and hazardous undertaking. It is a great satisfaction to find the crafty enemies circumvented, and the ruin they had prepared for others overtake themselves. Jack Armitage is a well-drawn character, and. in many respects an original one. With all his eccentricity and abrupt ness, there was something kind and genial in his nature, which always revealed itself in times of distress. He was of great service to the harassed Oswald and Philip at the period of their confusion. There are some home scenes in this story that are interesting, and the various characteristics of the different persons are skilfully pourtrayed. Quinta, the heroine, is a pleasing girl, though deficient in the spirit and animation which render Kato Standin so charming. There is a lifelike representation in the Scotch baker, whose quaint sayings and ingenious devices form an amusing episode. There is an elevated tone pervading this work which cannot fail to win the approval of the reader, and there i 4 sufficient interest interspersed ainong its records of struggles, and sketches of home-life, to engross the attention, and render its perusal a source of gratification. Old and Young. Smith and Elder. This book displays considerable ingenuity and some talent, but it fails to please or satisfy the reader. The characters are not improbable, and some of them are sketched with vigour and effect; but the one on which the author appears to have bestowed the most pains is not the most successful. Camden Lyde, the gentle scholar and literary recluse, is one of the chief figures on the canvas, but his prototype has several times appeared in literature under more pleasing auspices. Sir Philip, the gloomy and saturnine baronet, and Gen. Crawford, his heroic brother. are both drawn with force and effect. Nesta, the gentle heroine, is a graceful and feminine portraiture, of whom Horace Clifden appears scarcely worthy. The reader could spare a few pages about him and , his friends, which are occasionally tedious. Ihere are some well written passages and graphic delineations. If, as we should conjecture, it is the first production of its author, it gives considerable promise of b e tt er things. The writer should aim at more c oncen t ra• tion, more animation of style; in . occasional passages he rises into eloquence, but in the general tone of the book there is a want of vivacity and life. The author is evidently one who knows sqmething of the world, of men and books, and we have no doubt that time will enable him to apply his knowledge to more effect than in his present volume. The History of France, from , the Earliest Times to 1848. By the Rev. J. White, author of " The Eighteen Christian Centuries." Blackwood. The Reverend James 'White has rendered valua ble services to the came of historical literature. He has succeeded in a most difficult task, in com bining brevity with interest. Most instructors of youth or juvenile students will acknowledge the dreariness of the epitomes and outlines of history which attempt to give minute statistical particulars of many centuries in a few pages. Mr. White adopts a very different course. He does not trouble himself to impress the exact dates of every . king's reign upon the reader, but he endeavours to give him a general idea of the chief characteristics of the age and time ; to show what were the causes, and what the influences that assisted or retarded the progress of the nation ; how, in France, the destruction of the power of the feudal nobility increased the despotic authority of the crown, and rendered the subjugation of the people complete. He shows us the long course of centuries, during which kings, and royal dukes, and nobles and counsellors, plotted and counter-plotted, and struggled for pm-eminence and power, while the murmurs of the down trodden Jacquerie were unheard or unheeded. The ter ' rible days of the Revolution, and the marvels of the Consulate and Empire cannot be done justice to in so brief a space, but the great facts are given, and the general impression of the form and features of the time left on the reader's mind. Mr. White's powers in condensing history are already well known in his " Landmarks of the History of Greece," and of " England," and more recently in his admirable summary of the general history of Christendom, " The Eighteen Christian C'en turies." The history of our continental neighbours must always be especially interesting to us, and a more extended knowledge of it is much to be desired, not only from the intrinsic value of the re cords, but from their enabling us to comprehend and appreciate the national character, so different from our own. Such a work as the present is eminently qualified for the attainment of this object, although Mr. White lacks that spirit of military enthusiasm so peculiarly characteristic of the French. ;His record of the earlier and middle ages shows us only the gloomy side of the picture. It is not wonder ful that the historian, looking from the factions of the court, and turbulence of the nobles, to the de spised and trampled people, should see the glitter of regal pageantry dimmed by the tears of the suffer ing peasants, and lose the clash of knightly swords in the murmurs of the discontented crowds. But it is hard to believe that in high-spirited and martial France the spirit of chivalry was so entirely ex tinct as our author would seem to imply; and however faulty the ambition that tyrannises at home that it may conquer abroad; still it is neces sary to believe in the existence of a genuine military enthusiasm to appreciate the national character. We heartily commend all those who are not familiar with the outlines of French history to consult this interestiug volume, which is one of the most successful condensations of an eventful and lengthened history we have ever met with. RUSSIA AND F.R.I.N.C.E. We believe we are correct in stating that there are two Secret Treaties now existing between France and Russia. By the first, Russia binds her self, in the event of France entering upon a war with Austria, to assist her by the co•operation of her fleets in the Baltic and Mediterranean, and besides to place an army of observation of not less than 50,000 men npon the Austrian frontier. By the second Treaty Russia is bound to declare war against Austria within 15 days after she enters Piedmont. It will be exceedingly interesting to know the dates at which these Treaties were concluded Perhaps it may be found that the first has been in existence for some time, and that the second, which is only supplementary, is that which it is asserted was concluded on Friday last.— Times. THE WATERLOO BRIDGE MYSTERY. PLAISTOW, THURSDAY. Yesterday afernoon, an officer from Scotland-yard came here, and visited Bridget Callaghan. She repeated to him the extraordinary statements she had previously made, and in the course of the day she was removed in a cab. Every thing, beyond rumours to be heard from every mouth, is wrapped in the most profound secrecy. The most feasible story is that the old woman has been taken to St. Luke's Asylum to be examined as to her sanity. As it would be idle to give tongue to the many rumours that have leached our informant he withholds them for the present, at least until there is some connecting tangibility in them. Names are freely bandied about, and circumstances of a most - extraordinary nature every - moment may come out—indeed, the only apathy visible is in the local police. For, if they really know nothing, or are acting under in structions, they profois entire ignorance of anything con. fleeted with the matter. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

THE BALLOT.—With reference to the statement in our report of the proceedings at the meeting of candi dates for the City of London—held at the Albion Hall on Monday evening —that a rider to the resolution in favour of the ballot was lost by a large majority, we are requested by the mover to state that it was lost in consequence of its being confounded with a question put to Lord J. Russell tending to pledge him to its support ; and that the meeting did not understand the real nature of the amendment, or the result would have been different. Our correspondent thinks it due to the cause of the ballot that this explanation should be given. SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES.—III consequence of the necessity of closing the special evening services at St. Paul's Cathedral, arrangements have been made with the Diocesan Home Mission, by the sanction of the Lord Bishop of London, for throwing Christchurch, Niwgate-street, open for a series of special services for the working people • the preachers to be appointed by the L or d Bishop of Lon don, as before in St. Paul's. The fi rst sermon will be preached by the Rev. Daniel Wilson, Vicar of Islington ' on Sunday, the Ist of May, Service to be g i n at 7 o'clock, THE FRENCH AND RUSSIAN ALLIANCE (From the Times.) The event which we yesterd a y announced perhaps, the most important th a t h as been sub mitted to the present generation of Englishmen. The two great aggressive Powers of the world are united for co mmon o bj ec t s . U n d er the pressure of no mutual danger, compelled by no visible necessity, coerced by no antagonist, the Czar Alex ander and the Emperor Napoleon 111. have united their fleets and their armies. This alliance is marked by none of the causes which combine honest men for protection, but it has all the pecu liarities which attach to an union by which strong men confederate to plunder. The declaration of this event is as startling by its suddenness as Ms impressive by its importance. We were in the midst of a somewhat unsuccessful attempt to arrange a no rma l European di ffi culty. The p u bli c opinion of Europe was pressing upon Austria to adopt some moderation of tone and measures in dealing with her Italian provinces. Sardinia, young, impetuous, and illaidvised, was ready to commit the error, so often committed and so often repented, of calling in an ambitious ally to help her in a quarrel with a disagreeable neighbour. France was thought to be but too ready to obey the call and to seize the opportunity. All Europe, and Russia especially among the earliest and the most active, was engaged in strenu ously urging France to restrain her vehe ment enthusiasm for Transalpine liberty, and to relinquish her suspected desire for Transalpine pro vinces. Austria alone, urged perhaps by the pre sentiment which sometimes seems to take possession of the doomed, saw no safety in concession, and no hope of peace in diplomacy. She saw, or thought she saw, that the only hope of escape was to despair of safety, and she challenged the war which she thought it impossible to avoid. The_ world cried aloud against her —none so loud as England and Prussia—except only France. Perhaps we were right. Perhaps Austria was only improving, with a short-sighted cunning, an apparent advantage. Perhaps we were wrong, anti that Austria at the moment knew what we now know. But, if this be so, her strength was i n p u bli c it y. If i t b e that she had early intelligence of thi s a lli ance, s h e h as undergone the condemnation of Europe for the sake of keeping an enemy's most precious secret. This was the diplomatic masque which was in full performance up to the early morning of yesterday. By daylight of that morning all this acting pageant, with its p rotests. and protocols, its proposals and acceptances, its shadowy. Congress and mou,lded and broken mediations, had faded away into past history, and were as if they had never Taeen. The scene in one moment changed, the puppets were swept from the stage, and the two great despots of the world stood united in grim strength, masters of the scene, and sole objects of the world's attention. The probability of this alliance had occurred to many, but its realisation at this special crisis wa s so sudden that the sense of surprise was almost as great as the sense of danger. However, this danger, great as it is, has come upon us, and we must meet it with as much dignity and examine it as calmly as we may. We believe we may state from authority not likely to . prove incorrect that the provisions of the Treaties just concluded between France and Russia —for we understand there are two —are of this import :—By the first Treaty Russia binds herself, in the event of France being at war with Austria, to assist France by the co-operation of her fleets in the Baltic and the Mediterranean, and, moreover, to place an army of observation of not less than 50,000 men on the Austrian frontier. This is the first Treaty, and it is obviously directed immediately against England. France can have nothing to fear from the navy of Austria ; if she seeks to strengthen herself at sea, it must be against some first-class naval Power ; and what other is there than England ? This Treaty is an agree ment between - France and Russia to unite the fleets of the two empires, in order to keep the navy of England in check, while one or both of the contracting parties may be engaged in effecting some object hostile to the interests or the security of Great Britain. it is plain that the parties to this compact do not count upon the neutrality of England, and the existence of this precautionary Treaty is in itself a proof that the enterprises which are thus to be protected are such as it would be impossible for England to allow to pass unchal lenged. The Russian Army of Observation is no less significant than the unity of the Imperial navies. This corps will, of course, be employed to excite insurrection among the Hungarian and Sclave subjects of Austria, and it requires no great stretch of imagination to foresee how quickly the flames would rise, and how far they would spread. We cannot tell the character nor measure the scope of the secret understanding which has prompted this offensive alliance. Perhaps the o-reat design may rest upon th e Rhi ne on t h e one side, and may comprehend the Principalities, or even lean upon the Bosphorus on the other. It is hard to believe that so small a matter as an Italian war could haye rendered necessary such gigantic precautions against the navy of England, or such menacing demonstrations against the eastern provinces of Austria. It may have been foreseen that the in tentionsof the two allied despots must provoke the resistance of all Germany, and render necessary the blockade of the ports upon the Baltic ; and it may have been considered that, however peaceable may be the intentions of England, the contemplated im pediments upon her Baltic commerce might render her absolute neutrality scarcely possible. The se cond Treaty seems to have been suggested by POMP knowledge or suspicion of the intended action of Austria, for it provides that, in case Austria should invade Sardinia, Russia shall declare war against her within fifteen days of her violation of the Piedmontese soil. No union can be closer than that which these Treaties create. In the event of Austria invading Sardinia the two fleets will sail ,together in the Baltic and in the Mediterranean, and the army of observation will occupy Hungary. These preparations being made and all things being ready it was not to be expected that Austria would be allowed to retire from the position in which her precipitate summons to Piedmont hau_ placed her. Nor, on the other hand, would Ser dinia herself be permitted to abdicate her danger ous and unprofitable position as the advanced guard of the French army and the first victim of the newly developed enterprise. Recent circum stances would appear to argue that Austria was not thoroughly well-informed of the alliance about to be cemented, or that she had not learnt the extent or stringency of its provisions. She seems t.) have started like one who has trodden upon a coiled serpent as she put forth her first step towards Piedmont and found these Treaties in her path. She at once yielded to the ultimate proposal of England, andagreedto delay her declaration of war upon the conditions suggested by Lord Malmes bury. But it was too late. The aggressive Powers saw their advantage, and, whatever veil of decent hesitation may be thrown over the proceeding, the Powers who havebeen tempted to declare them selves will . unquestionably persevere. Austria feels she must fight, and she has shown no slack ness in accepting the necessity. Punctual to the hour she had named, her colurnms were in motion, and on Tuesday night 120,000 men cßossed the Ticino. The French, too, arc advancing, both by way of Genoa and of Mount Cenis ; and Sardinia, we fear, has already begun to feel some of the slights which a small State always suffers from a great ally. It is said that the language of the French at Turin is already changed in tone, and that the protectors are not choice in their terms of scorn for the means of defence possessed by the pro tected. Perhaps Count Cavour may now recollect what happened in Lombardy in 1796, and how the fathers of the present Frenchmen treated the people they then professed to liberate. The forced con tributions from Milan and from Modena, the con fiscations at Venic e , th e s t o rm and sack of Pav ia, the shooting of th e mag i s trates of the great cities in cold blood, and the slaughter of the peasan tr y by .of the masterpieces he n e m all aat a r o n b earlier bi tthose y and o t t r memory records, of a an now Frenchof art—all dragoons these t h t i h n e g spoliation p h o a l e e t i t o h are alike committed.

A usesf u seful back even at this moment, draw and settle their own m fo a o y lis m h a b k i e rd t s hei vin peace, lea Emperors to convulse ...urope and make prize during the con fusion. This, however, is scarcely to be hoped for. Austria is marching as it to an assured victory, and Sardinia is not yet quite disabused of the hope of obtaining the jackal's share of the expected prey. These are strange prospects suddenly revealed, and they offer us no very promising future. Still, we adhere to what we have already said,—that so long as the war is confined to Italy, or to the inva sion or preservation of the Italian territories, we need take no active part in it. If, however, the tide of aggression should roll nearer home, if France and Russia should attack Austria in Germany,— Russia seeking, perchance, her indemnity in the East of Europe,—or if Prussia should be laid wiser a contribution of territory, then, indeed, the ditign of these Treaties of offence would become no lass than a partition of Europe, and the first principle of self-preservation would compel us to considp e r whether we can better defend ourselves on Continent of Europe or at our own hoti2_e n st g and These nd These are serious topics ; but, although in -F; we are all unanimous in desiring to keepclear, if we possible, of these continental compl ic a tions, are also profoundly convinced that the existence of a great German essential to our own safety.
