lor, at the recent sitting Of the gem
eral committee Of the reichstag on
May 6 concerning Germany's reply to
America IL published by Wireless
Press today under a Berne date The
Wireless Press states that the follow
ing remarks by the chancellor may
he accepted as unquestionably au-
thontic:
II have said before that we must
drop all sentimentality. | repeat that.
With regard to our dispute with
America, our self-fespect was wound
ed by the aggressive wording OF the
American note 20 Germany, our feel
ings urge t1s to repel this interference
With cur legitimate methods of war
fare, aud tell America to mind her
own business. but considerations Of
policy compel US to subordinate pat
riotie zeal to patriotic reason. We
must be guided, however, not by our
feelings, but by the coolest judgment.
I'VE have one aim and one duty,
namely. to win the war; therefore any
policy which endangers our victory
must be AVOIDED. The overwhelming
majority OF expert opinion regards a
rupture of relations with America ms
