All I wish to say is: As difficult as it might be to understand other: let us never tire' in that effort, The Ambassador pointed out that Germany is mainly a great continental and Britain a great maritime Power but that this does not mean that Britain is not interested in the Continent and that Germany has no oversea interests, "A year ago," the Ambassador continued, "when I came to Berlin, 1 attempted to express briefly my opinion on mutual political relations. I have mot changed that opinion during the one year of my stay in Germany. On the contrary, my opinion has been-confirmed.
