Transcript | 19 qu'elle ne menace pas Fintegrite de la Serbie. Son but unique est d'assurer sa propre tran- quillite. Par consequent il depend de la Russie d'eviter la guerre. L'Allemagne se sent solidaire avec la France dans le desir ardent de conserver la paix et espere fermement que la France usera de son influence a Petersbourg dans un sens moderateur." Le Ministre fit observer que FAllemagne pourrait de son cote entreprendre des demarches analogues a Vienne, surtout en presence de Fesprit de conciliation dont a fait preuve la Serbie. L'Ambassadeur repondit que cela n'etait pas possible, vu la resolution prise de ne pas s'im- miscer dans le conflit austro- serbe. Alors de Ministre de- manda, si les quatre Puissances —FAngleterre, 1' A11 e m a g n e, l'ltalie et la France—ne pou- vaient pas entreprendre des demarches a Saint-Petersbourg et a Vienne, puisque Faffaire se reduisait en somme a un conflit entre la Russie et FAutriche. L'Ambassadeur allegua Fab- sence d'instructions. Finale- ment le Ministre refusa d'adherer a la proposition allemande. (Signe) SEVASTOPOULO. she harbours no designs against the integrity of Servia. Her sole object is to secure her own peace and quiet, and consequently it rests with Russia to prevent war. Germany is at one with France in her ardent desire to preserve peace, and she sincerely hopes that France will exercise a moderating influence at St. Petersburg." The Minister pointed out that Germany on her part might well act on similar lines at Vienna, especially in view of the conciliatory spirit displayed by Servia. The Ambassador replied that such a course was not possible, owing to the decision not to intervene in the Austro-Servian dispute. The Minister then asked whether the four Powers—Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and France— could not make representations at St. Petersburg and Vienna, for that the matter amounted, in effect, to a dispute between Austria and Russia. The Ambassador alleged that he had no instructions. Finally, the Minister refused to agree to the German proposal. No. 29. Russian Charge d Affaires at Paris to Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs.
