REST POSSIBLE BASIS
THAT OF NATIONALITY
AS to the possible basis of such n
peace, Prince Albert said:
The best basis is that OF nationality.
1t is a complicated problem, but will,
the exercise OF good will not insoluble.
On this principle there need be no in
trusion OF political or cXtra-t territorial
ambitions Politics Will become in
tcrnal. not movements involving other
countries"
"Of all the rcgrettablc features OF
the war Prince Albert added, none
is more reGrettable than the loss by
Germany OF her splendid opportunity
for hcnc.iiinc humanity. Germans
We're every where received by all other
countries in a friendly and admirng
spirit. They were regarded without
dlstrust, and the greatest attention
was paid 10 what Germany was doing,
or was thought TO he doing. for prog
reSs and the advance OF civilizations
There WAS much in her efforts and
achievements 10 admire. Her internal
administration. for instance is the
best in the world. and there was much
else that other peoples might have
learned from her with ADVANTAGE.
Hut this opportunity the Germans have
now compromised by great mistakes;
ana for Years to come they have
alienat"d the sympathies and lost the
confidence Of other nations"
