REPORTED OPINIONS OF BISMARCK.
LONDON, MARCH on. - n correspondent HIS
obtained an interview with Bismarck, in which
the state of affairs in Paris discussed. AFTER
courteous reception and preliminary converse
ton, during which Bismarck expressed his APP
probation of the good sense and consistency OF
the people and the government of the United
States during the war, the correspondent
asked:
"Does your excellency think that the events
in Paris are important to Germany
Bismarck-"Not important to the degree sup
posed. One would have til Aught the public
mind of Germany would have been much more
engrossed with the rising and success OF the
Reds than has actually been the case. The
general public see only two points OF the view
when the matter to discussed. These are:
The possibility of German soldiers being de-
tanned by the rising longer than would else
have been the case; and secondly, they point to
the present state of Paris as proof that the Ger
man appreciation OF the population of Paris
was more correct than that OF the neutrals, who
considered Paris the centre OF civilization, ana
regarded it almost too sacred TO be touched by
German barbarians.
Correspondent-"What is the policy of Ger
many in the present complications y
Bismarck-"rhe matter is as simple as posi-
BILE TO the eyes of German statesmen. The reds
now in possession of Paris are simply rioters.
The government of Theirs is the only legitimate
government. So soon as the insurgents trans
rress the terms of the convention concluded
Germans will treat them as rioters, and dlsperse
them nv force of arms; but so long as they do
not trangress the stipulations they will be left
alone"
Correspondent-'Th there will be no inter
ference in behalf of the government
Bismarck-"NOt directly; but facilities Will
be offered 10 the Theirs government with regard
to the concentration Of troops at versailles
They will be allowed to mass larger force there
than they could according to the stipulatons OF
the peace preliminaries. Ii is also likely that
upon direct application Of the French govern
ment. German aid would not be withheld"
Correspondent-"But is not Germany inter-
ested in the preservation Of the Thiers govern
mentY
Bismarck-"Only so far as the fulAllment of
the conditions of peace are concerned, Certain
ly the government of Theirs is the only one
which gives guarantees for compliance with the
stipulations of the peace preliminarleS.'
Correspondent-"D Germany send message
to the reds declaring that she would not inter-
fere, but would maintain friendly reationsF'
. Bismarck-"Certainly not. There is mista-
ken idea prevailing in ENGLAND with regard to
the position of Germany towards the rioters in
Paris in consequence of the wrong translation
of the letter of Gen. Schlotein, The Journal
Officiel said that SO long as the Germans were
not ntertered with passive attitude would be
observed, This was made to read friendly
attitude-a very different thing, There have
only been three kilograms sent from Germany
relating TO the riots, and two OF them were SIM
ply of military character, One OF these, my
own, address TO Favre, was also mlslnterpreted.
In short Germany will never Interfere with the
internal affairs of France, but all parties must
respect and observe the peace stipulations to the
letter and if in order to do this the legitimate
French government appeals for and, Germany
will probably extend it to a certain degree Ger
many will also aid the government OF France to
enforce law and order by relaxing strict regula'
tons of the peace performances. Further than
this, Germany will be passive"
