Show i I Comment on Lord Reading. ! AMSTERDAM, Aug. 26. The comment com-ment of Lord Robert Cecil. British under-secretary for foreign affairs, on the speech of German Colonial Minister Solf, a Vienna dispatch credits cred-its the Fremdenblatt as saying, is in a different tone from that usually manifested by British statesmen and ; is in contrast with the irreconclliable "knockout" speeches so often heard from their politicians. Tho Neue Freie Presse says that "it is a striking fact that he tries to tone down Mr. Balfour's threat that Gorman Gor-man colonies will not be returned and transfers the decision to the peace conference." In an interview last Friday Lord Robert Cecil said Germany was unfit to rule her colonies. He recalled that Mr. Balfour had said German colonies could not be restored. |
