BELGlUM'S TOW ANY LONDON, Aug. 25.-Sir Edward Grey, the British Foreign Secretary, tonight sent a letter to the press 1'8- plying to a speech delivered in the German Reichstag last week by Dr. von Bethmann-I-lollweg, the German Chancellor. In the letter Sir Edward deals at length with the charge that Belgium had trafficked her neutrality with Great Britain and the Allies- "There are some points in the speech the German Chancellor made last week." the letter says. “which may, I think. be suitably dealt with in a letter to the press, pending a fuller review of the situation, which may _be appropriate in some other method and at some other time. "I will state the facts and reflect- tlons they suggest as briefly and as clearly as I can, and I ask you to be good enough to make them public. 2699»8-27M4lE3i. 35-s @© f/>.'!3 CD: "IC WZ 3 No Agreement Exieted "One Belgian record, a conversation 'any method of mediation that Ger- reparation _for the cruel wrong done to Belgium? I “The two negotiations for an Anglo- German agreement in 1912, referred to by the German Chancellor, were brought to a point at which it was clear they could have no success un- less we, in effect, gave a promise of absolute neutrality while Germany re- mained free, under her alliances, to take part in a European war. This can and shall be explained by pub- lishing an account of the negotiations taken from the records in the Foreign Ofiice. ` "The Chancellor quotes an isolated sentence of my speech of the third of August. 1914, to prove that we were ready for war. In the very next sent- ence, which he might have quoted, but does not quote, I said: "We are going to suffer. I am afraid terribly in this war, whether we are in it, or whether we stand aside." I Could Have Avoided War ‘ “I leave it to any one, outside of Germany, in ally neutral country, to settle for himself whether these are the words of a man who had desired and planned a European war, or of one who had labored to avert it. The extent of the German Chuncellol"s misapplication of the isolated sentence which he quotes will be obvious to any one who reads the full context of the speech. "As to the other statement attribut- ed to me, not even wlieli we were per- fectly free, when Japan, wllo was our ally, had not entered the war, and when we were not pledged to the otller allies, as we are now by the agreement oi’ the 5th of September, 1914, did I say allythillg so ridiculous or untrue as that it was in tlle interest of Ger- many that we had gone to war, and with the object of restraining Russia. “The war would have been avoided if the conference had been agreed to. Germany, on the iiimsiest pretext, shut the door against it. I would wreck no- thing on the point of form, and ex- fpresscd myself ready to ucquiesce in many could suggest, if mine were not acceptable. I say I was ready to co- operate ill ally method that Germany thought possible if only Germany would press the button in the interest .of peace. He Desired War “The German Chancellor, according to his speech, encouraged nothing, ex- lcept direct discussion between Vienna ‘and Petrograd. But what chalice had that of success when, as we heard af- terwards. the German _Ambassador at Vienna was expressing the opiliion that Russia would stand aside, and was conveying-to his colleagues the with the British military attache, was published by Germany last autumn to prove that Belgium had trafficked her neutrality with us, and was, in many. The conversation, of which the most use has been made, never was reported to the Foreign Office nor, as far as the records show, to the War Office at the same time, and we saw a record of it the first time when Germany published the Belgian record. “But it bears on the face of it that it referred only -to the contlng'en'cy'of effect, in a plot with us against Ger-: waht me best should order how Deafness Cannot be Cure so as to take dehvery from the §fs;§§:i|°°P’f,°if,§‘;'}°;h::aff‘1?,l{e‘i,:']=‘ffn£,°f,f,l; Qu' take place only after the violation of Vessels-_ to cure dgfneas and that is by constitution d Belgium being attacked. that the en- try of the British into Belgium would Y Belgian territory by Germany, and impression that he desired war from ltlle first, and that his strong personal 'bias probably colored his action there. “Some day. perhaps, the worm will know what really passed between Ger- `many and Austria respecting the ulti- matum to Serbia and its consequences, It has become Ollly too apparent that ln the Dl'0D0sal for the conference, which we made and which Russia, ita- ly Mid France, agreed to and which G9l`lHU-HY V€l0@d. lay the only hope of Deuce.

I told the Belgian Min- ister most emphatically that what we desired in the case of Belgium, as with other neutral countries, was that their neutrality should be respected, and that so long as it was not violat- ed by any other power we should cer- tainly not send troops into their ter- ritory. “Let it' be remembered that the first use made by Germany of the Belgian document was to charge Belgium with bad faith to Germany. What is the true story? On the 29th of July, 1914, the German Chancellor tried to brine us by s promise of future Belgian in- dependence to become a party to the violation of Belgian neutrality by Germany. On the outbreak of the war he described the Belgian treaty as a scrap of paper. and the German Foreign Secretary explained that Ger- many must go through Belgium to at- tack France because she could not afford the time to do otherwise. The statement of Herr von Jagow is worth noting again: Matter of Life and Death “‘The Imperial Government had to advance into France by the quickest and easiest way. so as to be able to get well ahead with the operatiolls and endeavor to strike some decisive blow as early as possible. It was a matter of life and death with them,lis lf they had gone by the more southem route they could not have hoped, in view of the paucity of roads and the strength of the fortresses, to have got through without formidable opposl-- N011. entailin8 Kreat loss of time. This loss of time would have meant time gained by the Russians for bringing up their troopq to the German fron- tier. Rapidlty of action was the great German asset. while that of Russia 'was an lnexhauatible supply of troops." Deliberate Violation "ln the Relchstal. too. on the fourth 0f AUBUBI. 1914. the German Chancel- -lor stated, in referring to the viola- tion of the neutrality of -'Belgium and Luxemburg: ""l`l\9 Wl'0l\8- I speak openly, the 'H0118 we thereby commit we will try l0 mlilfe Hood as soon as our .military aims have been attained.” The violation of Belgian neutrality, therefore.. wus dellhel-sts, although Germany hrul actually guaranteed that neutrality; and surely there has been nothing more despicably mean than to justify it. ex post facto, by bringing against the innocent, inoffensive Bel. sian Government and people the total- ly falls chores of having plhuerl against Germany. ‘ __The GWI; #Walid of “lar ‘ ° “ll IMG or does not -sniollasise. ilu- hlsfilhsst speech. that . lent as it was.
