here will be in the highest degree friendly cannot be doubted. We may have our faults as a nation, but want of hospitality is certainly not one of them.

As all Frenchmen now realise, peace is the greatest of French interests, and a reduction of friction between Germany and Britain undoubtedly makes for peace.
