DELCASSE TALKS OF TREATIES
Former Foreign Minister Of France
Pays Tribute TO Great
ritaln's Power.

PARIS " 12-Former Foreign Min
lister Dc q, in the course Of an inter-
view pu Nd by the Gaulois today upon
! the Brit Sd French naval amenities at
Brest iduced to discuss his general
policy - to Great Britain and Ger
many. i'd:
The p of nations nowadays is not
oaseu or iment or antipathy, but upon
| Ihelr ms interests. As between Ger
many reat Britain our commercial
Dalances where our interests lie
| Great is our best purchaser, while
germany almost nothing of US and
tIles TO sell US all II can. Moreover, it is
evident that We could not leave open irri-
tatinB controversies with Great Britain
Whch might preCipitate an armed struggle
Tor Great Britain holds indisputably the
we build IL builds four or five II is there
lore well TO accept these manifest facts
and consider the value which British CO.
operation would give us in certain eventu-
aHtles. The greatest intrinsic value Of such
cooperation would be the virtual impossi-
bility in which it would place Germany
OF making war upon us.
NJ. Delcasse was asked II he regarded the
recent menaces over Morocco as being Sc
rious He REPLIED
Not at all. In case of war Great Britain
would surely be with us against Germany,
and then what would the infant fleet of
Germany amount TO? What would become
chant marine? II would mean annihilation.
That is the real significance Of the pres
ent exchange OF visits of the British and
French squadrOns. An understanding be-
tween these two powers and coalition Of
their navics would create a naval war
machine so powerful that neither Germany
nor any other power would risk conclusions
upon the sea. II is the sea which Il is
necessary TO command today and the war
in the far east has Conclusively demon
strated that.
Continuing, NJ. Delcasses discussed the
probable effect of his policy If it had been
pusued.
The Anglo French cordial understand
ing" he said, was an achievement toward
definite understanding between Russia
and Great Britain, and this further under
standing would have been the work of the
French minister for foreign affairs. The
success of such a task would have
strengthened our influence in British coun-
ellis and assured for long time the peace
of the world"
In conclusion NJ. Delcasse was asked for
his opinion of Frances accepting con-
ference in Morocco, to which he gave the
following textual response: ITO go to a
conference is mistake-and such a mis-
take"
