GERMAN AMBASSADOR
AMPLIEIED STATEMENT

WASIiISGToN, October 26-A"The
German point of view is that by join
ing in European war Canada has
put herself >outsidc the pale of the
Monroe Doctrine, but Germany has not
the intention OF attacking Canada nor
colonizing Canada"
This statement was issued here to-
day by the German embassy.
The statement was an nmplitcation
of the view expressed yesterday by
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, that by taking part in the
war, the Canadians have justified an
aggressive campaign against Canada.
To further explain the reason that
caused the German government in /,
formal note delivered to the state De-
fiartment by Count Bernstorn volun-
tarilH plcdging Germany not to attempt
colonial expansion in South America,
no matter what the outcome of the war.
the embassy issued this statement:
THE note was written at that time
because Winston Churchill had said
iii his message to the American people
that If Germany was victorious in the
III esent war she would attack the Mon
roc Doctrine"
