Kalser's Statement to Witte. Tn 1905 Count Witte saw the German ruler on his way to Russia affer nego- tiating the treaty of Portsmouth, and their talk assumed a serious aspect. “Having referred briefly to my cess at Portsmouth” says Witt turned to the general political situa-| tion in Europe and reverted to our [%g Peterhof conversation. I reiterated | my profound belief in the deslrability of a general rapprochement of the three main bodies politic of Europe—Ru: Germany and France—this rapproche- ment tending to become a close union. which, of course, would be joined by other = Kuropean powers. Delivered from the burden of military expendi- tures, Kurope would be enabled to create a mighty naval force which |73 would dominate the world. His majes- { ty assured me that he shared my views | and then declared that my scheme had finally been ect at his meeting wi Emperor Nicholas at Bjorkoe. Having imparted to me this extraordinary piece of news, his majes- ty asked me whether I was satisfied with this_development, and, in my in- nocence, T replied that his words had filled my heart with joy. We parted.” Upon his arrival in St. Petersburg (Petrograd) Count Witté had an in- terview with Emperor Nicholas. “His majesty told me” writes the count, “that he had received a letter from Emperor William, in which the Ger- man sovereign spoke of me in ad- miring terms. He was glad, he add- ed, that I shared the views which 714-11ST. That our policy of service is appreciated has been demonstrated in the past year.
