The real facts are that Great Britain reserved the question

of her own rights in Morocco and earnestly encouraged the attempts of France and Germany to effect a colonial bargain. Germany did actually demand the coast of the French Congo, and it was not till this extravagant demand had been put forward (July 15th) that Mr. Lloyd George made his " unfriendly " speech (July 21st). The inversions of the Lokalanzeiger are so bold in their inaccuracy that we can only hope that the diversion against Great Britain is deliberately designed to cover a quite friendly and reasonable bargain with France. If this should turn out to be so, we think no one here would greatly resent the vilification after all.
