THE PERIL OF ENGLAND
WHO IS RIGHT?
SIR EDWARD GREY
_In the House of Commons, March 29, 1909._
We have been informed verbally, but quite definitely, that Germany willnot accelerate her naval programme of construction, and will not havethirteen ships of the _Dreadnought_ type, including cruisers, till theend of 1912.
PRINCE BUELOW
_In the Reichstag, March 29, 1909._
Great Britain has never made any proposals which the German Governmentregarded as a suitable basis for negotiations. Germany regards thequestion of limitation of armaments as outside the range of practicalpolitics.
WHAT THE KAISER SAYS:
His Imperial Majesty the German Emperor declared:--
_The prevailing sentiment among large sections of the middle and lowerclass of my own people is not friendly to England.--Daily Telegraph,October 28, 1908._
