sort often does more harm than good to the
object he wishes to attain. I can assure him
that the Government is as deeply impressed
with this question as himself, and it has often
expressed its view in the House, that the
present armed condition of Europe is a great
misfortune and a danger to the peace of the
world.”
In the German Parliament, also, similar
utterances may be heard; in the latest instance
from one of the Centre, Reichensperger, who
in the military debate, June 28th, 1890,
expressed the wish that they could set in motion
a general disarmament. The speaker had
certainly spoken in favour of the Government
bill for adding 18,000 men to the peace footing
of the army. But he wished alongside of that
to say, that as the decision of the Emperor in
summoning a conference of working men from
all parts of Europe had been greeted with
applause, so would the civilized world, with still
greater applause greet the tidings that William
II. had advocated a general disarmament.
