GERMANY AND FAR EAST WAR
Berlin, Nov. 26.
"The possibilities of mediation in the Far Eastern Conflict is dis- cussed in the "Deutsche Diplo- matisch-Politische Korrespondenz" which, as is well-known, often states the view of the Foreign Office.
The "Korrespondenz” recalls that from the very beginning, Germany has regarded the Nine-Power Con- ference with scepticism, and ex- presses itself just as guardedly on the negotiations envisaged for Geneva. The..paper is of the opinion that it, as seems to be the case. the conditions of the Brussels Conference will again prevail at Geneva, then these negotiations will not bring about an "appeasement nor even a short- ening of the Far Eastern can- fict." It moreover sees that in such a case both parties will he the sufferers of such "mediation." The "Korrespondenź, also denies the assertion that without media- tion the conflict will never end.
his very claim alone will cer- tainly make the situation no ensler," says the paper, adding that the success of any mediation depends upon whether both par- tles declare themselves agreeable to the proposed actions, so that each will bave the assurance that the treatment offered is quite im- partial.
The paper concludes by stating that the profound interest of the whole world at the outcome of the conflict is only an expression of the desire to see the conflict end- ed as soon as possible.- Transocean News Service.
