SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

Indeed, the German proposals confer on Germany many privileges and only impose on France beavy obligations. France's reply to certain of the points ia consequently non possumus. At the same time it contains proposals which it is hoped will be welcomed in Berlin.

The reply is of such a nature as to enable negotiations to be continued if desired, but the occnomic equality of the Powers must be the basis thereof.
