In the happy position OF having no
actual political questions outstand-

the emDeTor's visit will bring about
n renewal Of the old time affectionate
relations between the two countries.
Their relations always have been
correct but this Is not enough there
Is an increasing desire that they
become something more. Germany
does not look for any specially de-
fined political agreement or under
standing that might give rise TO APP
prehonsion In the case Of any other
power. Ny hope simply Is that the
relations between the two govern
ments may become more closely as
simulated TO be not only correct but
affectionate relations existing be-
