All this is matter of common knowledge with us. On the other hand, the secret Council as Potsdam on 8th July, 1914, at which the Emperor decided upon this war policy, i evidently common knowledge in Germani | diplomatic circles and Prince Lichnowsky only mentions it in passing. Everyone now knows that Sir Edward Grey did all THEGROHTO ADDREOF. that man could do to avert the war, but some critica are still inclined to argue that bis previous pro-French, pro- Ruasian policy had been directed against Germany and brought warnearer. Prince Lichnowsky's evidence on this point is quite clear. Ele says: Sir Edward Grey, having settled all outstanding points of difference with France and Russia, wished to make similar agreements with us. It was not bis object to isolate as but to make us partners in the existing association." Prince Lichnowsky then gives Sir Edward Grey's own words,

agree to the publication of the treaties. Prince Lichnowsky considered this refusal insensata; but Professor Murray comments: "To have published this treaty would have let the German people into the secret that England, whom they were taught to regard 58.30 enemy, was really acting as a friend,"
Professor Murray proceeds: "The with story is just the the Bagdad Railway and German shipbuilding, namely, steady endeav- our by Sir Edward Grey, even the cost of some risk, to meet Germany's legitimate wishes and to help her to a place in the circle of cordial understand- ing, and steady determination in the beart of the German Goverment to be bound by na ties which might bamper its future unlimited craving for power." Professor Murray wonder why the German Government allowed' Prince Lichrowsky's memoirs to be published in Germany. He suggests that the reason is that the German Government is riding on two horses.
