AIsace and Lorraine.

- ~
Hitherto Ibave said nothing of lAiIncs
and Lorraine, and my silence baS-been in
tentional. Although so hotiy debated on
both Sides, the question appears to me
only a secondary one. It hes nothing ID
do wifl4he zeal ground ofihe quarrel, and
the undue importance assigned to it, both
by France and Germany, has been one Of
the most futile, though at the same time
MOD fyd hl, causes Of the ptol5hgaii9n
of the.ytkie.I For myself, i have loolhighl
and too Just an idea of my country to con-
found her moral integrity with her9mate-
rial integrity upon this point, or to be-
lieve thu, mere possession of two provinces
is SO essentiallto her greatness that if she
lost them she would forfeit her Sigh pre-
eminence in Europe. English history it.
self proves the contrary. When we retook
CalaisI the,town which was spoken Of as
a loaded pistol directed against the heart
of France, that event was looked upon in
England as a public misfortune, and your
Queen went to her tomb with the fatal
name Of Calais engraved upon her heart.
But what Englishman of the present day
ever RI kgrets the loss Of Calaisf And Just
so it will be, l doubt not, if Strasburg and
Nets are taken away from us. 1t is less
for their strategic Importance that we cling
so tehaciouslY tothose two cities, than for
the heroic loyalty which they have dis
play towards France, and which France
Owes.ed!theu. Alsace and Lorraine de-
sire to remain in France, and they will
prove It BY their votes, as they have de-
clarsd i by shedding their, blood; and, ii
is TIE dutylofFrauce, both to them and to
herself, not TO abandon them. ~
On the other hand, Germany is wrong
in regarding the annexation of these
proYigces as a final guarantee against ag-
gTession from our side. Let the new Ger
man Empire beymoderate as well as strong,
and she will have nothing to fear from
the attacks Of neighbor who will be at
once weakened and grateful. Whatever
opinions others may have, 1 believe in tie
gratitude, Of nations, and more especially
in that of my own generous country. The
true guarantees for Germany are the rela-
tionse OF, good neighborhood and sincsre
anf4ermanent alliance with US; and the
best pledge Of such an alliance would be
to allow Alsace and Lorraine to continue
in the national unity of France. Those
provinces, you viii say, are German, both
by history and language, and willingly
admitit; but they are pervaded by tht
spirit Of France, and they are ours by the
energy and persistent Of their patriotism
Alsaceand Lorraine form a natural ant
living bond between these two great ma.
tions: They are, as it were, the hand
might almost say the heart-of' Germany
reposing afectiOnately in the hand ant
heart OF France. r--..,T IN
