cuis Of Lansdowne's letter continues
10 be commented on extensively by
tho German papers, the consensus of
opinion being that pacifism is gain
ing in England. The Vossische lei
tung says:
IF we reject such efforts at rap
lrochement it is not because OF lack
OF good will. but the result of the
consideration that an agreement toe
hastily concluded with the island
kingdom would cut off the way to our
nelghbors on the continent and also
rob our neighbors and ourselves for
all time of our guarantees by oul
power against british supremacy"
The Tageblatt believes that the
Iansdowne letter indicates unrest
among the conservatives in England
over the way things are going. Tho
Tageblatt also says the letter proves
the growing opposition of France and
Great Britain to their war dictators
Count Won Reventlow in the Tage'
Zeitung says:
"Lansdowne hints that he is great,
conceined regarding the situation
which might arise in the event of thu
central powers succeeded in arrang
ing separate negotiations with Russit
without Great Brits'n's participation.
The Morgnn Post says:
"The document signifies the begin
ming of the revival of c. mmon sens'
