“People had become reconciled to

British snd constituted one of the
motives, but neither the only nor
the most important motive, for Eng

ultimately brought about war.
“From the beginning 1 adopted the
standpoint that in spite of the fleet
it would be possible to come to a
friendly understanding and - rap
prochement if we did not propose
new votes of credit, and* above all,
if we carried out an indisputable
peace policy. I also avoided all
mention of the fleet, and between
me and Sir Edward Grey the word
was never uttered. Sir Edward Grey

“British gentlemen of both par
