| ADDRESS OF COUNT BIsMARK on TIE POLICY OF
PRUSSIA.
At q sitting of the Committee of the Lowe,
House upon the address, held on the 18th ultimo
Count B1sarARK gave the following explanations as
to the policy intended to be pursued By Prussia:
Little difference exists between the authors OF
the various drafts Of address, or between the
Government and the Chambers, as to tue object
to which the policy OF Germany ought to be dl-
rected. The question is only to discover by wha.
methods that object shall be attained. Govern
limits of possibility-i.e e. of what can be realized
without enormous sacrifices and without compro-
missing the future. We should have run this risk
il we had crossed the limits we have marked out
for our policy. We must keep the engagements
We have contracted in this respect, and
But We do not think it would have been useful
at present to go further. The Prussian Govern
ment is sufficiently animated by strong ambition
to render it advisable to moderate rather than
stimulate it. According to the peace premna-
ries, the North Germans will have the charge Of
Confederation. 10 carry out this task we shall
have to examine whether the want Of This organi-
cation is felt more strongly by the population OF
South Germany than by their governments, as
it now happens that we see Prussian soldiers Who
pass beyond the line of demarkation exposed to
the popular anmosity. 1t is for us next to i'm
part solid foundations to the new union. / be-
lievesthat in trying to extend thom too far their
sodry would be diminished. We could not, for
instance, submit State like Bavaria TO such con-
ditions as we intend now to impose upon certain
States of the North. Let ustry first to establish
the directing State. The tie of close union
by which we mean to torn Northern Germany
will not be so strong as IN Incorporation
Nevertheless, there ara only two'or three modes
to prevent allied races constrained by their
governments turning their arms against us.
The first of these is incorporation and complete
fusion OF the populations with Prussia and in es-
pecal of the hostile functionares Who will remain
attached the old Governments. The Govern
ment does not consider that it ought to surnount
these difficulties at single leap, as is the cnston
or the Latin peoples; but-it twill proceed, i'll tho

the partition of the rights OF soferegnty, !. e.,
the establishment Of military sovereign and
civil sovereign. Compelled circumstances, We
must oneeayor to apply this system in saxony. I
had at one time q marked preference for this
method, but after the Impressions have received
from the reorganization OF :3chleswig- Holsten /
am afraid such q system would become source
of collisions which might lead to GOODNESS OF the
reference to this point have been met
with the remark, -"We don't wish to be-
come second-class Prussians." But, indie
peudently of these Impressions. this system
Possesses the inconvenences that ono OF
the two masters. the military sovereign who is
foro;onar al va pornaa forward with CiAtuate-
ful requirements, while all the benehcent in
huepces of civil action remain IN the hands o.
the old sovereign. Iregret, as have said, that
we are compelled to make this experiment In Sax
ony. Lastly, the third method would be to divide
the territ ,ries as they have been hitherto COM
posed. We did not wish to make much dimin-
ished Hanover and Saxony. We made unpleasant
experiences with the system in Saxony III 1915
The portions of that country which were then
given to Prussia have become completely fused IN
her, but in the portion that has preserved its an-
atomy frank aversion is retained toward Prus-
sia For this reason We have now completely de-
parted from this system, which was suggested to
us: we have placed the interests OF the popula:
ons above the interests of the dynasties 1t is true
that this course perhaps produces the impression
Of Injustice but the science Of politics has not the
mission OF Nemesis. Vengeance does not apper-
tain to US. We must do what is a necessity for
the Prussan State, and must consequently not
allow ourselves to be guided by any dynastlc
sympathy. People have already learned to appre-
ciate us even in those very countries. Hanover
ians have already said to me: Preserve our
dynasty for us; but it that is not possible, then
try at least not to parcel out our territory, but
take it entire AS regards our allies, they have
only been few 10 numbers, or weak; but duty, no
less than prudence, ordain. that we should keep
our word, even to the smallest among them. The
less hesitation Prussia shows In sweeping her
enemies from the mar the moro is she bound
strictly to keep her word with her friends. 1t is
precisely in Southern Germany that faith in our
political loyalty will have great weight. AS for
the Constitution OF the Empire OF 184, it will only
he one of the forms through which the problem
have Just pointed out will tind its solution. l
admit that in theory that Constitution proceeds
with more strictness and consistency than sour
scheme, the uuiOn because it makes, so to speak,
OF The different sovereigns the subjects, the
vassals of the future Emperor of t,erlnany; but
these sovereigns will be more disposed to concedo
rights to ally, functionary OF the union, than
to an Emperor and SuZcralu.
