Transcript | 12 pouvant provoquer de la part des Grandes Puissances des actions conformes, nous comp- tons que FAngleterre ne tardera pas de se ranger nettement du cote de la Russie et de la France, en vue de maintenir l'equilibre europeen, en faveur duquel elle est intervenue con- stamment dans le passe, et qui serait sans aucun doute com- promis dans le cas du triomphe de FAutriche. (Signe) SAZONOW. which might lead to joint action by the Great Powers, we count upon it that England will at once side definitely with Russia and France, in order to maintain the European balance of power, for which she has constantly intervened in the past, and which would certainlv be compromised in the event of the triumph of Austria. No. 18. Note verbale handed to Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs by the German Ambassador at St. Petersburg, July 12 (25), 1914. Il nous revient de source autoritative que la nouvelle repandue par quelques journaux d'apres laquelle la demarche du Gouvernement d'Autriche- Hongrie a Belgrade aurait ete faite a (.'instigation de FAllemagne est absolument fausse. Le Gouvernement allemand n'a pas eu connaissance du texte de la note autrichienne avant qu'elle ait ete remise, et n'a exerce aucune influence sur son" contenu. C'est a tort qu'on attribue a FAllemagne une attitude comminatoire. L'Allemagne appuie natu- rellement comme allie de FAutriche les revindications a son avis legitimes du Cabinet de Vienne contre la Serbie. Avant tout elle desire, comme elle Fa deja declare des le commencement du differend austro- serbe, que ce conflit reste localise. (Translation.) We learn from an authoritative source that the news spread by certain newspapers, to the effect that the action of the Austro-Hungarian Government at Belgrade wras instigated bv Germany, is absolutely false. The German Government had no knowledge of the text of the Austrian note before it Avas presented, and exercised no influence upon its contents. A threatening attitude is wrongly attributed to German v. Germany, as the ally of Austria, naturally supports the claims made bv the Vienna Cabinet against Servia, which she considers justified. Above all Germany .wishes, as she has already declared from the very beginning of the Austro-Servian dispute, that this conflict should be localised. |
