CHANCELLOR WOULD HAVE REC
OMMENDED WAR WITH
AMERICA


London, May l1--What purports to
be a summary Of the speech of DR.,
Won Bethmann Hollwegg, the German
Imperial Chancellor, at the secret sit
ting of the general committee of the
Reichstag on May 8, concerning Ger
manys reply to America, is published
by the wireless press today, under a
Borne date. The wireless press states
that the following remarks by the
Chancellor may be accepted as UNI
questionably authentic:
IL have said before that we must
drop all sentimentality. ! repeat that
with regard to our dispute with Am
erica, our self respect was wounded
by the aggressive wording of the Am
erican note to Germany. Our feelings
urge us to repel this interference with
our legitimate methods of warfare, and
tell America to mind her own business,
but considerations of policy compel
us to subordinate patriotic reason.
We must be guided, however, not by
our feelings, but by the coolest judg-
ment
Eve 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 opinion regards a dupture
of relations with America as a grave
peril
"A great mistake has been commit
ted in overestimating the value of the
submarine campaign against England
Our naval officers no longer believe
in the probability of reducing England
to starvation and ruin by submarines
even if the war lasts another two
years. II is true that these instru-
ments can infict a frightful amount
of damage, but this damage would be
insufficient to outweigh the danger to
ourselves of Americas hostilities.
1T is folly to underestimate the
consequence of a conflict with Ameri-
ca, nor should we risk only Americas
enmity Our information leads us to
believe that other neutrals might fol-
low Americas lead.
The Imperial government has
weighed every factor and is convinced
of the necessity of avoiding a breach
with America"
