GERMAN FOREIGN POLICY BEFORE WAR CRITICIZED
By Prince Liehnowsky, German Am bassador at London When the War Began.


 Stockholm, March 1.-The foreign policy of the German government be- fore the war is criticized severely in memorandum written by Prince I.ichnowsky, German ambassador at London when the war began, which is published in the Politiken, organ of the extreme left of the socialists. The memorandum was written in August 1916, for the purpose of explaining and justifying to personal friends his position, which had been aSsailed. Only half a dozen typewriter copies of the document were made One of these, in consequence of betrayal of the prince by person to whom it was given, reached the German for feigI office and caused great scan dal. Another copy was communicated to certain members of the minority socialist party. of Germany, but how it got across the German frontier re- mains a mystery.
 1 After describing the circumstances which led to his appointment in 1912 i as amba ssador to England, Prince Lichnowsky says the moment un. doubtedly was favorable for a new attempt to establish a better footing with England. He continues:
 Our enigmatical Moroccan policy has repeatedly shaken confidence in our peaceful disposition. An Austrian colleague who was long in Paris said
 to me: If the French begin to forget their desire for revenge for the Fran Prussian war; you regularly remind
 them of it by treading heavily on their toes'
 After the rejection of the attempt of Delcasse (then foreign minister of France) to reach an agreement con- cerning Morocco and after deciarinS
 that we had no political interests
 there, we suddenly recognized in Abd-
 el-Aziz (then sultan of Morocco) a
 Kruger No. 2. Our attitude promoted
 the Japanese and Russo British
 rapprochements. In the face of the
 German peril all other conflicts fell
 into the background. The possibility of new Franco German war had be come evident"
 Prince Lichnowsky goes on to say that on his arrival in London he found
 Sir Edward (now Viscount) Grey (tiler
 British foreign secretary had no . given up the idea of reaching ar agreement with Germany and as a be. . ginning made an attempt in economic and colonial spheres. The aim of tft British statesman was not to isolate
 Germany but to induce Germany t.
 take part in the already established ], concert by removing the causes O 5 friction between England and Ger | many and to secure the peace of tn : world by a network of agreements.
