formed Cabinet Brussels, June 2
The growing satisfaction of Allied statesmen as the result of Germany's recent performances was voiced by the Foreign Minister, M. Jaspar, speaking in the Chamber to-day. He declared that if Germany continued in the path of goodwill, of which she had given the first proof, Belgium would not make her task difficult.
M. Jaspar noted the improvement in the European atmosphere, and advocated an alliance among Belgium, Great Britain, France and Italy. The Belge-Dutch difficulty, he said, was still unsolved, but he hoped that relations would soon be restored to normal in view of Holland's kindness to Belgian refugees.—Reuter.
Paris, June 2.
The 'Excelsior'? publishes some noteworthy admissions made by Herr Maximilian Harden the famous German publicist, and editor of "Die Zukunft." Herr Harden recognizes that the various German Governments have often been lacking in frankness, and have tried to deceive the Allies.
He admits that France has never sought to menace Germany, whereas the tortuous policy of Germany tends to exasperate French sentiment. France is not a militarist nation, and her victorious Mar-shais are less acclaimed than the defeated Marshals of Germany. France suffered during the war, and now, he says, it is Germany's turn to suffer.
Herr Harden expresses his confidence in the Wirth Cabinet, which he regards as composed of men of good—will.—French—Wireless through Reuter.
