Transcript | 26 geres, ce dernier avait regu celle de FAmbassadeur de France, qui avait tente de lui faire accepter la proposition anglaise relative a unet action en faveur de la paix, action qui serait exercee simultanement a Saint-Petersbourg et a Vienne par FAngleterre, FAllemagne, l'ltalie et la France. Cambon a propose que ces Puissances donnent a Vienne un conseil dans les termes suivants; " S'abstenir de tout acte qui pourrait aggraver la situation de l'heure actuelle.': En adop- tant cette formule voilee on eviterait de mentionner la necessity de s'abstenir d'une invasion de la Serbie. Jagow a oppose a cette proposition un refus categorique, et cela malgre les instances de FAmbassadeur, qui a fait valoir, comme un bon cote de la proposition, le groupement mixte des Puissances grace auquel on evitait Fopposition de FAlliance a FEntente, ce dont s'etait si souvent plaint Jagow lui-meme. (Signe) BRONEWSKY. to-day his Excellency had re" ceived the French Ambassador? who endeavoured to induce him to accept the British proposal for action in favour of peace, such action to be taken simultaneously at St. Petersburg and at Vienna by Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and France. Cambon suggested that these 'o»' Powers should give their advice to Vienna in the following terms: "To abstain from all action which might aggravate the existing situation." By adopting this vague formula, all mention of the necessity of refraining from invading Servia might be avoided. Jagow refused point- blank to accept this suggestion in spite of the entreaties of the Ambassador, who emphasised, as a good feature of the suggestion, the mixed grouping of the Powers, thanks to which the opposition between the Alliance and the Entente—a matter of which Jagow himself had often complained — was avoided.
