(Signe) ISWOLSKY. the proposal for mediation which will be made by Sir E. Grey. In the contrary event, Austria, on the plea of "guarantees," will be able, in effect, to alter the territorial status of eastern Europe. No. 54. Russian Ambassador at London to Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs. London, July 16 (29), 1914. . (Telegramme.) [< Ai communique le contenu de vos telegrammes du 15 (28) juillet a Grey. II a declare aujourd'hui a FAmbassadeur d'Allemagne que les pourparlers directs entre la Russie et FAutriche avaient echoue, et que les correspondants des journaux mandaient de Saint-Petersbourg que la Russie mobilisait contre FAutriche a la suite de la mobilisation de cette derniere. Grey dit qu'en principe le Gouvernement allemand s'est declare en faveur de la mediation, mais qu'il rencontre des difficultes quant a la forme. Grey a insiste pour que le Gouvernement allemand indiquat la forme la quelle a Favis de FAllemagne pourrait permettre aux quatre Puissances d'exercer leur mediation pour eviter la guerre ; vu le consente- ment de la France, de l'ltalie et de FAngleterre la mediation pourrait avoir lieu seulement dans le cas ou FAllemagne con- sentirait a se ranger du cote de la paix. (Signe) BENCKENDORFF. (Translation.) (Telegram.) I have communicated the contents of your telegrams of the 15th (28th) July to Grey. He informed the German Ambassador to-day that the direct discussions between Russia and Austria had been fruitless, and that press correspondents were reporting from St. Petersburg that Russia w7as mobilising against Austria in consequence of the latter's mobilisation. Grey said that, in principle, the German Government had declared themselves in favour of mediation, but that he was experiencing difficulties with regard to the form it should take. Grey has urged that the German Government should indicate the form which, in their opinion, would enable the four Powers to have recourse to mediation to prevent war; France, Italy, and Great Britain having consented, mediation could only come into play if Germany consented to range herself on the side of peace. |
