Mr. William Harland Hale will revent that Kaiser Wilhelm II in the now famous "lost interview" which was given, to Hale's father. William B. Hale, in 1908, urged the alliance of Germany and the United ~States to fight the growth of

Japanese power. in Asia.

།

The Kaiser deeply de- plored Japan's defeat of Russia, and declared: wish my battalions could have had a chance at them.

"We would have made short work of it.......... We must not allow China. and Japan to get together..

.The particular duty that the white man owes to himself at this moment is to prevent Japan from swallow ing China.........It is no use to talk about Britain....

England is a traitor

to the white man's cause."

The reference was to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance."

The interview which the Kaiser gave was regarded as extremely indisercet.. The German Foreign Office inter- vened before publication, first subjected it to a severe censoring, and later with- drow it. It was intended for publication in the Century Magazino in 1908,-United Press.
