TITS Attitude
IL Il Toward England

Asked by Senator Sterling regarding his
attitude toward England, Mr.. Brisbane re-
piled:
''My attitude toward England is the atti-
tude that / was delighted to have England
in the war, of course. | have in regard to
England some doubts as to whether, when
the ends sha not have diff
culties and discussions, as we may have
with France and with other countries"
do you not think your editorials mani
fest an intense opposition to England ?"
Senator Sterling asked.
Mr. Brisbane replied that he did not be-
leve this the case; and, in reply to
further question, said his editorials were
written with calculation of stirring up
enmity in this country against England
"Frankly," said Mr.. Brisbane, "the only
thing have to reproach myself about what
! wrote is that sometimes | wrote SO bit
terly that | think it was calculated to stir
up dangerous i'll feeling in this country
among people of German names who were
loyal"
Pressed regarding his obtaining money
from the brewers to buy "The Washington
Times" Mr.. Brisbane said:
"In regard to the purchase Of 'The Wash
ngton Times it was stated that | bought
The Washington Times because the brew
ers wanted, first, an agent to protect their
interests, and second, to favor Germany,
they being supposedly German because
they had German names. The only brewers
| know men who are born in America,
as it happens, although might have known
others"
Mr.. Brisbane then went into his detailed
explanation of his attitude on wine and
beer and his experience in trying 20 do
without claret. At the conclusion of his
explanation Senator Overman asked
Are these the reasons why you bought
The Times and got these men to lend you
the money!"
