fiIear, hear.) &f
Lord PAJMERsrox- accounts we have had or tho
invasion OF Jutiand have been exceedingly
and therefore1sm somewhat At loss TO give definite
answer 70 the question Of the right honorable gentleman
As have already stated told that the frontier
or Jutland had been passed contrary TO orders and
since represented that nevertheless had been
given that violation believe that as the matter now
stands tho Germans Wh 10 gain possession Of the ton and
fortsu OF F'sdercio, whic commando ne naysop channel
oetweea the mainland OF Jutiand and TIE Island Of Rle
and no doubt answer given in reference 70 the in
vason OF JutlaDd Was that mentioned by the right
honorable gentlemanth the Danes had retaated
on the Germans by taking German merchantmen,
shat retaliation altered the position OF tho relative
parties. Another ground mentioned for the occupation
OF portion Of Juand that necessary for the
purpose Of protecting German troops from being harassed
By the Danes from the north Of Juand and from the
Island OF Fnnen. As the right honorable gentleman
wishes TO know the view taken by the government
the subject, may state that the view we take ID that
TIE whoe matter o reference to operations beyond the
Elder Is outrage the independence at Denmark
(hear hear)and that violence Is not justified by the
state OF things, inssmuCh the given for
that the Germans wished for material security for the
revocation OF the constitution, aud the Danish
government had minated their intention TO comply with
the request to that eeot before scheswig entered
Therefore extension OF the occupation Of Danish terri
tory outrage whatever for II may be giveu
II was unnecessary for my noble friend to enter into
controversy with respect to degrees OF aggravaou In
reference 10 this matter The Prussian government know
our opinion to the main matter Of fact, and it was
quite to squabbe AZ to the particular steps
taken IN aggraya.lon OF the original violence.
