ed as saying the note Is couched in
such conciliatory and friendly terms
that he did not doubt Il would have a
favorable result. He expressed regret
AT the sharp tone of some OF the Ger
man and American newspapers. but
said he was sure this would not dis
turb the friendly relations between the
two countries.
Why should Germany and the
United States wage war on each 9th
err Mr.. Gerard asked the interview
er. There Is not the slightest oues-
1on OF a conflict between them; their
interests oppose each other nowhere
In the world"
The ambassador Is also reported AZ
asking how such a war could be waged
since neither belligerent could engage
the other effectively because OF their
geographical positions. and as say
ing that II would have TO be an eco
nomic war.
Asked by the interviewer concern
ing the attitude of German-Americans
Mr.. Gerard Is reported in the National
Zeitung as having answered:
People In Germany are too readily
disposed TO believe that German
Americans would be first Germans and
tnen americans In case OF war. Ex-
aetly the opposite would be the case.
American citizens Of German birth
are nrst and foremost Americans. and
the same spirit is true Of Irish-Ameri-
