Great Britain and Germany

THE DISARMAMENT QUESTION

London vid Bombay, Dec. 12.

The Imperial Chancellor, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, speaking in the Reichstag, referred to Great Britain's repeated suggestions in connexion with the limitation of armaments and declared that Germany bad always emphasized the fact that an open and confident exchange of views, followed by an understanding ov mutual economic and political interests, was the best meats of removing distrust between the two countries. The very ce tinuance of the exchange of views was evidence of friendly intention.

The recent interview between the Tsar and the German Emperor at Potsdam, be added, was most satisfactory; as it had again been determined that neither Government would participate in a combina tion aggressively directed against the other.—Reuter.
