ESPANA
LA NEUTRALIDAD DE ESPANA

CiadO en- Berenga, y en- Ell que define la
actitud que a su juicio debe guardian Espana
para sostenar su neutralidad, ha sido CO.
mentado, por todos los p~oliticos e%spanoles
y franceses.
Mr.. Hanotaux, ex Ministro de Negocios
EXtranjeros de Francla, ha d1cho que ell
discurso del ilustre p~olitico espanol "esta
lleno de matices y reservas; que es una
declaration, pero declaration hasta cierto
punto Conditional. FL Sr. Maura hace no
tar que las simpatias de Inglaterra y Fran
cia a Espana no tendran valor alguno 81
no son reciprocas y eficaces. Espana no
cree que tiene deber alguno respecto a los
aliados 81 estos no reconocen a su vez que
tienen deberes respecto de kspana. Con
venido; pero Ell primer paso esta dado. En-
este momento A1emania podria vender la
piel del oso colmando de grandes promesas
a todos aquellos a quienes tuviese interes
en- lisonjear."
Ell senior Dato ha dado, igualmente, ST.
opinion sobre dicho discurso, EN- las sigulen-
ties palabras:
mi creencia es la de que en- los actuales
momentos con Ell silencio sc sirve mejor a
Espana; cualquier tema que Sc plantee
fuera de la neutralidad suscita recelos y
produce sobresaltos. Hoy que tan precisa
es la union moral y tan esencial no turbarla
en- NADIA. nuestra politica debe ser de lealtad
para con todos los beligerantes.
"Creo que la mission de los Gobiernos es
observar la Inca de conducta que va tienen
trazada. No es cierto que Sc este coaccio-
nando nuestra actitud; las notas de las po-
tencias no tienen esa finalidad.
"Somos mas TITLES a los beligerantes
conservando la neutralidad que intervlnlen-
do en- la guerra, pues nuestros embaJadores
ostentan la representation de las naclones
en- lucha V nuestro Soberano desempena
una mission humanitaria. Terciando en- la
contienda, NADIA resolveriamos y nj ell Go
bierno actual nj otro cualquiera hallaria
fuerza en- la opinion, pues ell sentido del
pueblo espanol ha hecho comprender que
somos extranos a la causa de la guerra y
tampoco teniamos compromises que nos
ligasen a las naciones beligerantes."
lie Temps" de Paris, al referirse al dis
curse del leader espanol, dice:
"Sin lesionar la generosidad del caracter
espanol-anade-, tenemos derecho a deer
que Maura ha revelado EN- su discourse sus
sentimientos acerca de los cambios de la
guerra"
"Le Temps MEGA Ell alejamiento de que
Sc culpa a Francia e lnglaterra con res
pecto a Espana, y para demostrarlo re-
cuerda la iniciativa de los acuerdos medi-
terraneos. terminates con ell Gobierno que
Maura presidia.
Por ultimo, dice que la inculpacion re-
trospectiva lanzada contra lnglaterra y
Francia de haber cooperado durante tres
siglos a la decadencia de Espana no resiste
e1 mas leve examen; pero que ell deseo de
que los aliados traten al pueblo espanol
como a TN hermano responde fielment a
los sentimientos de Francia.
