THE foreign Office declares with all
positiveness that Germany, neither be

Neither did Germany support sucn a
proposition made by other powers.
1T is true that in several instances
suggestions (Anregaugen) were made
to the German government from other
sources in the sense Of Intervention.
But the German government. without
exception. maintained a negative attl-

made known its negative standpoint
whenever occasion offered. It must
further be remarked that it was not
