Plain Speaking By German Chancellor.

♦ FpeaMng m the German Eeichit«f on December 10th, Count Yon Endow, the Imperial Chancellor, said regarding Mr Kruger's demands "for arbitration-— When m 1899, the question of arbitri* tion geemed sot altogether excluded from view, we recommended such a coarse to President Kruger Mr Krager, how ever, thought the time for it had not yet come. When, after some time, Mr Kruger did seek to secure intervention, feelings were already too highly inflamed for Buch a coarse. Thereupon, we once* more—the German and Dutch Govern* ments--and far the German Govern ment it was the last time—gave advice. The German Government was convinced that any step on Ibe part of a great Power at that moment would be a wry critical matter, lemiing to no result, «*£ would be very dangerons for thft Republics. Ftoihi this it, i» clear th*t no reproach can be laid at onr door, either for the outbreak of the war, or for the fate of the South African fcepublict. It was no use for us to pinch onr fingera between the door and the hinge. Thil would have done the Boers do good. Il woald only have injured us very con» eiderabiy.* When the suggestion of meditation wss made to England ty America, m quite a gently worded inquiry, it w»b rejected by the British Government, ffficially and categorically. Intervention, If it does not lead to- ■ diplomatic defeat, generally leads to an armed conflict. We could not bring the German nation into such a position: Ai^ to the non reception of Mr Kroger by the" Emperor, what bad (q be borne m mind was not non essential concomitants and accessories, or deplorable acts of politic* 1 clumsiness, but the question—"Would the President's journey end his recep tion by the Emperor have been of any use either to hrn or to u&?" Tnia question I answer with a decided No. What has been the use to Mr Kroger of the Paris ovations and bis reception at the Elysed In his interview with M Delcaese, Mr Kruger confined him self to the question of what attitude France would adopt m regard to certain eventualities resulting from the ttepi which were about to be taken m Europp. He was informed, m reply, that France would m no case take any initiative; but that France would not oppose, when these aventualities became known, and providing they were cal culated to serve French interest!. (Loud laughter ) I ask you whether, after that, Mr Kroger was not as wise as he was before. M. Delcasse express ed himself as prudently as was to be expected of so perspicuous and disting* uished a gtateman. I could have done no better myself if I had had to deal with the same situation m Berlin. (Renewed laughter) ft or could I have said anything else to him than what was said to him m Paris, Ount Ton Buelow spokejftgain on the same subject on Dec 12th, He said, that the announcement that the ex* President intended to come to Berlin was a surprise to the Government, coining as it did only twenty four honca or at the most forty eight, hours before the time for which Mr Krnger's depar ture from Paris had been fixed. Up to that moment it has been assumed that the ex-President would proceed from Paris to Holland. The reaeoui which induced Mr Kruger to change his mind he would leave undiscusaed. The Chancellor then continued— When we beard that Mr Kruger in tended to proceed to Berlin m short stages, by Cologne »nd Magdeburg, we caused him to be apprised m the molt courteous and considerate manner, through our Embassy m Paris and Br Leyds, that the Emperor, to hit regret was not io a position to receive him, and therefore begged him to abstain from his Journey. When, notwith standing, Mr Kruger started on bis journey, he was told once more, m the most considerate terms, on.. !iF hi§ reach ing Cologne, that >tbe Empeitbr :iw»i unable to see him at present, We do not allow ourselves to be taken by »ux» prise or to be carried by storm. I do not know what is the attitude of the British Government or thei"Brit« ish Court with regard to Mr Kruger*i journey, but this £ can state m the most emphatic manner possible, thai neither from the British Court nor from the British Government has any wish or any proposal been offered, either to th« Emperor or to me aa the responsible Chancellor, regarding Mr Kruger's journey or our attitude to* wards the war m South Africa, T« suppose that the Emperor would allow himself to be influenced by Mb family connections shows little comprehension of His Majesty's character or of hii patriotic feeling. For the Emperor only German national consideration! are authoritative, Weie i£ otherwise, any family relations, if any dynastic considerations, unflaenced our foreign policy, I would nob remain Minister for a single day longer,"
