Grey, foreign minister in the House

At the bill to appropriate $250,000,
000 for the army and navy, said:
“Germany has violated the treaty of
1867, which guaranteed the neutral
ity of Belgium and Holland. England
cannot stand by and see Holland and
Belgium ravished by the Germans
and the coast of France swept by
Germans guns. England must be
true to her treaty obligations and aid
her friends. German victory means
English destruction. The Kaiser
wanted war and when he had it in
his power to call oft the Austrian ag
gression against Servia and refused
the good offices of King George' to
settle the dispute by diplomatic ne
gotiations. England did not want
war but is forced to flght for her
own preservation."
