Gated, and the British government has
shown itself against the proposal; and
az, furthermore, the British government
has declared to the cabinet at Washing

renounce the idea of taking any steps on
the lines of the request made by the

but to express it's sincere wish that tho
belligerents will have succeeded, ut no
