ALLEGED GERMAN PLAN
Proposal by Won Jagow to Cambon
Reported in Belgian
Gray Book.

PARIS, August 4.-Further revela-
tions in the Belgian gray book include
the text Of a dispatch dated April 2.
1914, from Baron Beyens, Belgian min
lister art Berlin, to his government, re-
lating a confidential conversation be-
tween Jules Cambon. the French am
bassador to Germany, and Herr Won
Jagow, the imperial foreign secretary,
in which the latter proposed common
action by France and Germany looking
to the partition of the Belgian Kongo.
The message said:
Won Jagow has developed the opin-
ion that only the great powers are in
position to colonize He revealed the
basis of his thought by maintaining
that the little states could no longer,
in the Transformation taking place in
Europe for the benefit of the strongest
nationalities as a result of the devel-
oprnent OF economic forces and means
of communication, lead the independent
existences they have enjoyed until now.
They are destined to disappear or to
gravitate in the orbit of the great
powers"
Baron Beyens reports that NJ Cam
bon promptly informed him of this con-
versation.
