Tey has controlled the

Dells since she captured Constantinople

and overran Europe 400 years

ago but turkey is a sick man if we apply

pressure she would give

way

however the problem is Complicated by

Austria and

Germany both have vital interests in the

Balkans the austrians to keep open the

mouth of the

danu the Germans to complete the

building of their railway from Berlin to

Baghdad the problem facing Russia

therefore is both simple and

complicated

simple because the Dells is the only

Passage through which the Russian Fleet

can pass from the Black Sea into the

Mediterranean full stop paragraph any

Threat by us to the D

andeles will be viewed by Austria and

Germany as a threat to their interests

in the Balkans I believe the conditions

for the solution of this problem are now

at

hand and they involve the insignificant

little territory of Bosnia and

heroina

yes his majesty would like you to join

him and prime minister Stalin on the

sunde I'm coming

signed the foreign minister of his

Imperial Majesty Zar Nicholas II of

Russia Alexander

isoli mark it very confidential yes

m

there you are this ship is most

confusing do you think this is the right

dress for tomorrow when kinging Edward

arrives I think it's Charming it's not

too low foring

Edward very well then I shall wear it I

prefer it to the new one I bought you

look beautiful in anything my poppy come

I'll walk you to our

[Music]

cabin hi I hope it'll not be foggy

tomorrow is my uncle going to ask a lot

of questions about the way we treat our

Jews in Russia you may mention it well

I'm not prepared to talk about it oh we

can talk about it sir this is the kind

of thing that's going to be the result

of signing a treaty with Britain well

all I can

say

there's the empress has said all along

it was a mistake but advantages will

flow from it we must give it a chance oh

she has very sound intuitions not

government perhaps but she knows the

treat is not popular with the the

masses which is very close to

them your ministers are not exactly

strangers to them no no of course but uh

she's a woman that makes a

difference I sometimes think she hears

their every

heartbeat

there's another

consideration the

dardel treaty might help to get them

opened do you think the British are

going to change their minds now I'm

working on it the Turks will never yield

our Fleet the right to pass through the

daels and the British will support them

the British are realists if they have to

choose between turkey and Earth us they

know how to change their minds forget

the

daels it's a M's Nest forget the

Dells he consigns three centuries of our

foreign policy into the Ashan with a

phrase the empress wishes to remind you

s that it's time for

tea

well I see no advantage in a treaty if

all we get out of it are a lot of

questions about the way we treat our

Jews

don't get him all worked

up worked up worked up about

what opening the D naels it's his dream

it's also a powder keg I don't want it

in my house perhaps you'd like me to

close down the foreign office

altogether I would ask you to appreciate

one thing we can afford no

Adventures the war with Japan ruined us

the revolution that followed destroyed

people's faith in the government make no

mistake we are in an appalling

condition a far worse than he

thinks I was appointed to put this

country back on its feet it'll be a long

job but it can be done with tax reform

Land Reform reform in the Army and the

Navy and with

Parliament if he doesn't keep closing

them

down but until then no Adventures

Adventures need need muscle and we have

none they don't always need

muscle sometimes just a little

diplomacy for what you have in mind they

need

muscle unless you know something that I

don't

know Russia is in no position to play

the fool Alexander Petrovic

the

fool the fool a fool is a man with bells

on his tunic you can hear him coming a

mile off and when he arrives he has

nothing in his hand to beat you with but

a

balloon I was sure it was going to be

foggy I kept saying to Alex I should be

so miserable if the sun doesn't shine

for Uncle berie well you see the good

Lord blesses our

[Laughter]

[Music]

Enterprise

oh you must talk to Harding about that

have you spoken to him not

yet not yet would your majesty care for

stroll

oh

[Music]

oh your majesty has his ear to so many

doors I thought I don't always get it

right you

know and I can't speak for the cabinet

well then

what is your Majesty's view I mean if

you were us if england were Russia Well

we'd want the darel's open to our Navy I

think that's only natural ah I think it

must come but when we'd have to look at

Turkey in a new light after all we've

propped her up for years to keep the

Russians out of the Mediterranean times

have changed you know how hard I've

worked for this treaty between us I know

my nephew doesn't want it uh he inclines

towards the Kaiser and France Joseph

it's a more conservative grouping suits

his nature more but if we could pull off

something with British support he might

begin to see the

benefit you'll have trouble with Austria

not necessarily oh you've been having

talk have you with

ar he wants to do something

positive what do you think of

him he always has to be proving himself

you know that worries me ah it's the Jew

in him who is he a Jew oh way back

somewhere he got uh splashed no I I

don't think it's that it's more that

he's um an amateur amateurs have fancy

ideas and fancy ideas frighten British

politicians oh they prefer them playing

like their

food well I agree aantal is a bit fancy

he gets an idea and flings himself into

it and

you I think it may be time for a little

old world

diplomacy

[Applause]

doin knows I have something in mind but

he doesn't know

what he knows it's to do with opening

the D Els but can't conceive a situation

in which the austrians would agree to it

but then my dear aantal you and I can

but he's not against it Mr How could a

Russian be against the opening of the D

naels but he's frightened of it he

thinks neither the British nor the

French would back us did you sound the

British out when you met at Ral I had

talks with King Edward he was

sympathetic but he doesn't speak for the

cabinet no but he's close and I spoke to

Harding who was there oh what was his

reaction cautious but not

dismissive did you mention Bosnia

heroina what do you take me for if you

want bosia you must do your own

talking may be better to do none at all

not even to the Germans oh the Germans

there's been too much talking to the

Germans we don't need their support but

what if they oppose they won't oppose if

you are next Bosnian we already occupy

it we've occupied it for 30 years if we

are next it it will simply recognize a

fact which already exists but it still

belongs to Turkey and the Kaiser is very

friendly with the Turks if you offend

the Turks won't you also offend him my

dear

rolski one may foresee every eventuality

but one cannot guard against every

eventuality some we must leave to the

gods no I'm not worried about the

Germans the point

is would we have your support if we

decided to incorporate Bosnia heroina

into the Austrian Empire you mean mine

personally Russia's then

see my object is to bring our two

countries closer together not drive them

further apart now let me put a question

to you how sure are you that your

government won't oppose the opening of

the dardel to our blacki Fleet fairly

sure they would have to see they were

getting something for their money of

course it's important to us that Bosnia

become an integral part of the Austrian

Empire she could then be economically

integrated with the rest of it and

prosper

what view would your government take do

you think well they wouldn't cheer you

understand traditionally you have always

increased your influence in the bulans

at the expense of

ours but uh if it were engineered right

I mean in such a way that in the event

some good could be seen to flow from it

for

us and what of France I can only guess

all foreign policy is a matter of

guesswork but the object of diplomacy is

to take the guesswork out I need a

little time well we've got time we're

exploring only we're not committed

there's a certain commitment already

we've exchanged letters memoranda all

beard confidential we can always draw

back we are merely seeking ways of

further

cooperation King Edward will be here

next month on his way to Maran bad will

you approach the subject I leave that to

my Emperor ah but what will you tell

your Emperor to leave it to me oh so

between you you're so very little

nothing at all I think you're wise

goodbye Baron

goodbye I can find my way

out

Ste

Steve what are you doing in Maran BD oh

taking the water sir like you well I

hope they're doing you more good than

they do me

then you know

M gentleman wiam Ste times correspondent

in Vienna he's got more rumors than a

girl's

dormitory I get all my rumors from Ste

the cabinet never understands why I'm so

well

informed well what have you got for us

today then I warn you Mr Steed my

appetite is not to be trifled with you

can spoil my lunch with a fact but not

with a rumor oh facts are just steeds

rumors with

hindsight I've got nothing worth

spoiling your lunch for today sir

good you disappoint me steeve here are

these two brilliant foreign Ministers of

France and Russia who think they know

everything can't we shake them up even a

little

bit I'm out of my class here sir oh I

can't accept that you put the time's

reputation at

stake are you Gambling Man Mr

seed here 20 croner says you can't tell

us anything we haven't heard

already it will buy you a very good

lunch oh but it's too easy Mr Ste could

just uh pluck a rumor straight out of

the

air he's too much the professional well

then we could say that we've heard it

you may but I

wouldn't well

Ste I tell you what I'll put up Steed

stick money no no Steed or

nothing besides you promised the British

press as I remember that you wouldn't

gamble anymore

well well nothing to tell us

Ste can't manage even a small one well

if it's only a small one what about

this the Austrian Emperor is

contemplating the annexation of Bosnia

and

heroina

thanks for the

lunch sirth

gentlemen think was any truth in it no

no I can't believe it I've just had

talks with the Emperor of aosta he would

have mentioned

it have you heard it Baron of course

not but it might be

true it's clear they'll try it one day I

can't believe it would upset the Peace

of Europe why because the serbs would

never accept

it and if they wouldn't would Russia

it would depend on how it was done I

suppose part of a general

settlement a settlement might do for us

what the mortar does for the

Pricks not only keeps them

together it also keeps them

apart damn your wickhams

Ste spoiled my lunch after

all more I am convinced that the new

Turkish government plans to give a

measure of Independence to Bosnia and

heroina and that they have already

summoned Bosnian representatives to

Constantinople to open

discussions you may feel that this has

some bearing upon the date when you

intend to make your next

move does

it it amounts to this your majesty if

our ambassador in Constantinople is

correct and I think he is and unless we

announce the annexation soon we shall be

able to announce it at all without

seeming to put the clock

back it will upset the

Kaiser well we must at least be sure of

Russian

support do you think that Britain and

France will agree to the opening of the

dardel that's is fy's problem not ours

but we've agreed to support him or we

shall support him if it ever comes to a

conference

I

see you'll think it

won't I think it might

not but then Russia will have given away

something for nothing or they'll still

have our support for their half of the

bargain but of course the opening of the

dardel doesn't depend on us

alone Britain and France must

agree so is V's position hinges on his

belief that they will agree of course is

it

yours

no but it's for isaly to make his

assessments and for me to make mine well

I think we should have it clear I think

that you should see him

again before we move he's at car's bad I

believe with his

wife I'll telephone him

him and ask for a

meeting it was from Aaron town he uh

wants me to meet him oh Sasha where at

bular Castle it's not far he's coming

from Vienna himself you said no business

on this trip something has come

up I'll be back in a so couldn't it have

waited till I went home he seemed

anxious to meet I think I know why oh

that man I don't like him you mean he

didn't fall head over heels in love with

you when you

met his opinion of me is of no interest

I could have Charmed him if I'd wanted

to I just didn't want to try besides

he's Jewish and I don't like them a

Jewish grandfather that's all he the

same thing nothing of the kind a drop of

Jewish blood can add spice to the

mixture like the drop of georan and

you I must go and

pack on Bry

thank

you let's sit by the

fire well if the situation is as

pressing as you

[Music]

think what's

this a summary of what we told talked

about this afternoon and agreed just a

few headings on a piece of

paper I

see H you were busy before

dinner you want it all in writing don't

you well I hadn't

thought of course such a document could

never be made public of course not then

why I bother to write it down because my

dear Baron my government will say to me

that Baron aantal may have washed his

hands of the whole thing as soon as he

left the room and vice versa your

government will say the same to you but

if the document could never be made

public what force could it lend to our

agreement it convinces our respective

Masters that you and I have reached an

understanding without it they won't even

know

that it states simply that at any

conference called to discuss a crisis in

the Balkans Russia will support your

demand for the annexation of Bosnia

Herzegovina and Austria will support our

demand for the opening of The Darden

Hill it says nothing about Serbia well I

can't speak for the

serbs no no of

course but Serbia has a special interest

in Bosnia hoben they are the same people

Slavs Serbia expect to inherit Bosnia

when the Turkish Empire collapses then

she will be

disappointed you think then there will

be no Russian support for

Serbia we won't stand by and see them

beaten to their

knees won't come to

that

no it's another problem

altogether Serbia May insist on

compensation I'd like your assurance

that you won't support them in

writing well since we're putting things

in

writing I think it's best that we both

know from the beginning not only what to

expect from each other but

also what not to expect but surely you

know it might give us room for maneuver

some compensation for Serbia agreed

between us mentioned at the right time

could bring the pot off the boil we may

consider compensation to Turkey but

never to Serbia she has no rightful

claim but she has as you say

expectations she may expect the moon for

all I care she won't get

it let me put it this

way if the Russian government should

decide to support a Serbian claim for

compensation one of three things would

happen either we should be forced to pay

which would humiliate us or Russia would

be forced to back down which would

humiliate

her or there would be War

isn't it our duty as Statesmen to

prevent our governments from finding

themselves in that

position Fair well if you

insist write it in no

compensation when do you envisage the

announcement of the

annexation I shall need some time to

prepare the ground for a

conference oh in about

um a month I suppose one should

make appropriate noises ah well at least

I can return to Carl's Bad and finish

off my little cure my wife at least will

be

pleased then I must see clono in Paris

and Gray in

London to get their

support for a

conference anything that affects the

balance in in the Mediterranean warries

France but Russia and France are treaty

Powers now this attitude is years out of

date public opinion is years out of date

but what can you

do governments can't run too far

ahead they can strain at the leash but

they can't Jer it free and run off are

you saying bluntly that we get no

support from France for opening up the

dils to our Fleet Baron all this was

settled by the Treaty of Berlin 30 years

ago you asking for a revision of that

treaty I cannot see you getting it

because of the other signatory powers or

because of

France have you considered the effect on

Austria if we agree to a Russian demand

for revision of the treaty Austria won't

make

trouble that's not my reading of the

situation well but it's mine aon's not

one of the old school he recognizes that

we have a

case have you heard talks with arant

we've uh spoken about it what does that

mean it means what it says we've

discussed it have you reached some kind

of agreement well of course not what do

you take me for because if you had and

it was on the basis of our agreement to

the opening of the D

danels I should have advised you to

withdraw from such an agreement with the

utmost

speed

but that clearly is

unnecessary you'd give no support then

to a conference on the

Vulcans why is there a

crisis

yes yes M

presid I have him with me

now I

see yes I'll tell

him I'll be over in half an

hour

incredible what do you carry on your

Watch chain a crystal

ball that was President

fer the Austrian Ambassador has just

presented him with a letter from the

emperor France

yosf it announces the annexation of

Bosnia and

herina and implies that Russia will

concur but it's impossible is it didn't

you say in Maran bad you thought it

likely and that you might support

it well there'll have to be a conference

now for what well to discuss the crisis

what else my dear Baron don't you

understand the announcement is not a

declaration of intent the annexation has

taken place Bosnia and heroina have been

incorporated into the Austrian

Empire your face with an accomplished

fact not a bargaining position that Jew

that awful

Jew he promised me four weeks before he

would

move can you ever do business with these

people Mr rolski I think it less a

matter of his religion than his

temperament arals either been Hasty or

he's misunderstood the nature of your

talks

misunderstood there's nothing that

trickster misunderstands except the

nature of Honor he's put me in an

unspeakable position he's thrown a bomb

at my feet and run off down the

street did you agree nothing at all at

bulau Castle my dear gray there was no

hard agreement I told you what I make an

agreement with Aral on the subject of

the Balkans without first Consulting

Britain and

France that you discussed Bosnia uh well

of course we discussed Bosnia how could

one not discuss Bosnia

heroina you didn't agree to recognize

the annexation not even the beest

possibility of an

annexation except as part of some

general settlement at some indefinite

future

date are you telling me that foreign

ministers cannot have talks about

talks well what are you suggesting a

conference yes a conference haul Austria

up before a court of Nations to answer

her actions to discuss her violations of

her treaty obligations do you think my

government will just tamely accept the

situation oh without a confidence I'm

sunk Russia is sunk and so if I may

mention it is our triple

anant well I shall talk to the cabinet

you must make them see our point of view

or I cannot answer for the

consequences the Germans must be behind

behind this I don't believe the

austrians would move without them my

dear

gray you don't know arant he's looking

for independence from Germany it's

pathetic then you must see the Kaiser on

your way back to St Petersburg get him

to apply pressure in Vienna after all

it's his prodige turkey who's been

injured you're right I'll drop off at fa

Lin on my way back to St

Petersburg

it is

intolerable

intolerable are we to meet this appeal

from the

serbs can we meet it are we in a

position to meet it of course we are not

your foreign minister has brought us to

the brink of war with with his Grand

style diplomacy do you think there was

an agreement they agreed something what

it is we're not in a position to say

since your foreign minister chooses not

to confide in

US you must write to the Kaiser my love

ask him to intercede in Vienna it is the

only way at times like this Monarch must

speak to Monarch it is so much easier

yes yes I'll I'll write to him what do

you

think you may write to him though I

doubt it will do as much

good I think that it will I am sure he

disapproves of this Austrian Adventure

he may but his ministers

won't that will not be material the

Kaiser is the strongest voice in Germany

he is not the strongest voice in Germany

is only the

loudest

I do not think it right Peter aradi

evich to refer to the emperor's cousin

in that manner I speak what I feel your

Imperial Majesty this is not a time to

mince words we might within the next

days be at war with the emperor's cousin

well let's not let's not

quarrel now how do we answer this appeal

for support from the

serbs at this stage we must let it be

seen we support

them empty gesture as it may turn out to

be I told you my

love this alliance with Britain will do

us no good oh I don't know it the

austrians would never dare behave like

this if you were great friends with the

Kaiser but how does one become great

friends with the

Kaiser

[Applause]

I don't understand it that's all not

only do I not understand it I don't

agree with it if your majesty tried to

understand it you might find yourself

able to agree with it I'll tell you what

I do understand Prince vulo for 20 years

years at the request of my

ministers I have paid Court to the

Sultan of turkey I flattered him I've

made speeches to him I've listened to

his horrible jokes in his horrible

German now you tell me he's no longer

important he is less

important because the Austrian Alliance

has suddenly become more

important if Austria makes war on Serbia

Russia will come to the AIDS of the

hers they'll be like two old ladies

shaking their umbrellas at each other

Russia is not prepared for war the

French will have to come to her

Aid in that event it seems to be vital

that we should have no doubt in London

or Paris as to where we

stand I find it very difficult to

conduct this conversation while your

majesty is so absorbed in slaughtering

chickens you've had your holid I cut it

short to return here because of the

crisis then it's a pity you didn't cut

it short earlier I might then have had

the benefit of your advice when it's

fski was here as it

is I had to tell him we'd do what we

could to calm things down in Vienna

we'll do what we feel is necessary m if

you want my Frank opinion I think Aon

toown behave like a damned fool I agree

you should have consulted us but the

situation has gone too far for

recriminations we shall have to support

him up to the

hilt

that may mean War we're ready for it if

it comes our talks with the Austrian

High command are well Advanced and what

about

England well we can't be sure what

England will do but it's of no no

consequence their army would have no

impact on the continent of

Europe that's true they couldn't even

win the B War properly do you know I

told Uncle Bertie how to conduct that

campaign and he just

laugh it's understood then that we give

our full support to

Austria well if we must support them we

must whatever we do Germany will get the

blame everybody always blames Germany

which of course means me blame the

Kaiser that's the game Everybody

Knows Mr

Speaker I have to report to this house

that a very grave situation now exists

in the

Balkans as a result of the Austrian

annexation of the Turkish provinces of

Bosnia and heroina

about which we were not

informed the Austrian and Serbian armies

now confront each other and the threat

of war is very serious

indeed a

war which if it happens May draw in the

major powers of

Europe in an attempt to avert this

tragedy the governments of Britain

France FR and Russia have proposed a

European conference to try to settle the

issue you bought a bargain but you got

tricked into leaving it behind

bargain everyone keeps talking about

Bargains am I running a carpet shop in

the sus youve behaved as if you were

there was a discussion there was no

barain a discussion you failed to inform

your own government about because I was

not ready can't you understand

arent pull the mat out from under my

feet how can you conduct foreign policy

in this way are these to be the new

diplomatic ethics of the 20th century

can't one discuss possibilities without

being accused of making

Bargains we were looking for a new era

in cooperation between Russia and

Austria that was the basis for the talks

that was the basis but you forgot to

mention the price the Incorporation of

Bosnia heroa into the Austrian Empire

well in exchange for their support over

the dardel no damn you dardel you sold

out the serbs do cares about the serbs

we

do Russia does and if you'd read a

Russian newspaper occasionally you would

know

that are you

joking well of course we care about the

servs

but times change Alexander

patrovich we're no longer interested in

the

Dells I've heard that said before your

majesty but I don't believe it it's not

a vital issue anymore oh then it should

be what use is the right to pass our

Fleet through the gardels when we do not

have a fleet our Fleet is at the bottom

of the Pacific sunk by the Japanese but

we have the Black Sea Fleet and we have

a naval building program it is not an

issue worth betraying the serbs for and

even if you get your conference you will

not get the dardel open why not because

the British will only agree if they are

open to the warships of all

Nations do you imagine Baron that Russia

will ever agree to that I had the

British Ambassador here this morning

that is the view of the British

cabinet we could

mobilize why throw everything away so

quickly your majesty has written to the

Kaiser I've seen him he's promised to

intercede give it a chance to work if we

rattle enough Sabers we'll get a

conference and find a formula that I can

promise you you're all

right do what you can

rattle as many Sabers as you like Baron

but draw none or even you will see their

old broken off at The

Hil his Excellency the German

ambassador show him

here

what's this an

ultimatum we don't regard it as such

it's an ultimatum Twisted whichever way

you

like first you ask us whether we will

agree to recognize the annexation and

then you say that if we refuse you will

leave events to take their

course that's as far as we feel able to

go you mean you will allow the austrians

to make war on Serbia Austria does not

seek war then she's blundering into it

like an idiot the serbs have a right to

compensation and you know it the German

government cannot accept that position

and hopes that Russia will not defend it

will not defend it if Austria declares

war on Serbia she will have us to

contend with and that's final and then

won't you have a European war is that

what Germany wants it won't be of our

making is this some new German Insanity

to give unlimited credit to that

bankrupt regime in Vienna who's in

charge at the vhem tra now the office

cleaners I think you'd better listen to

me for a moment Baron so that I may put

the position very

clearly our government insists that

there shall be no

misunderstanding neither the British nor

the French want trouble they have

already agreed privately with arent to

recognize the annexation before the

conference those are Tales from the

Vienna Woods my friend aantal will tell

you anything to bring off this little

coup without a

fight but even if it were true the

British and the French would have no

option but to support us if we go to war

but you w I happen to know that you have

already decided that Russia is in no

position to fight

oh we shall support the

serbs and if there's any doubt in Berlin

on that score you may dispel it at

once you will not support the serbs you

will withdraw your support and bring

pressure on them to recognize the

annexation are you threatening us no B

I'm threatening you unless you do as we

ask we shall see to it that the secret

negotiations between you and erental are

made

public negotiations what negotiations

now there are letters and records of

talks erental informs us that he has a

document in your own handwriting stating

quite clearly your agreement to

recognize the

annexation under certain conditions but

those conditions were never fulfilled

the document doesn't make that clear

what is clear to us in Berlin is that

you agreed to give away British and

French interest without consulting

them do you know what he has done to

diplomacy do you think anyone will ever

trust anyone anymore what is certain

Baron is that no one will ever trust you

anymore well I'll take that

risk I think I can explain myself to

Britain and France and can you explain

yourself to the

serbs can you explain to them how you

bed away their rights to compensation in

a secret deal and for your own advantage

and even worse can you explain it to

your own government who are blly

demanding compensation at this moment

totally unaware that they have already

sacrificed Serbia's right to

it you will do as you are told otherwise

wise every letter every document will be

made available to the capitals of Europe

and you will be seen for what you are a

cynical unpr principle Gambler who has

no more regard for his friends than he

has for his enemies you may as well take

a pistol and blow your brains out

because there's not a government in

Europe that would give you house

room you will accept the annexation or

take the

consequences Germany insists Germany

will not stand by and see her own Ally

Austria

humiliated that is our

decision that is our final

word dear

God the lunatics have taken over the

Asylum so the Russians have abandoned

the serbs after all yes sir without

informing us the French or

anybody oh uh no thank you

sir how do you explain it I don't know

we suspect is volski compromised himself

in Vienna in some way and was terrified

it would get out so after all the fuss

what has aaronal

achieved a poultry change in the legal

status of some obscure Balan provinces

and Russia will never forget that she

was forced to betray the

herbs I'm afraid I've spoiled your

breakfast sir I thought the news might

cheer you

up what depresses me gray is our

pathetic belief that we all know where

we're going in some measure we do sir do

we Austria sets out to be independent of

Germany and ends up by being tied more

firmly to her coattails than ever

before Russia looks for some slight

prestige after her humiliation by Japan

and ends up being humiliated all over

again Germany starts off by supporting

turkey at the expense of Austria and

ends up by supporting Austria at the

expense of turkey does it make

sense it seems to me the more surely we

set our course Northeast the more surely

we end up by going

Southwest I don't think we are as

helpless as all that

sir I tell you gray I'm tired for years

I've traed all over Europe for you

politicians and I tell you I don't think

it makes a damn bit of difference what

we do you take too gloomy of view sir

after all if Germany and Austria are

closer together now we are much closer

to Russia and France than anyone would

have thought possible 5 years ago that's

a

comfort is

it haven't you just drawn the future

battle lines of

Europe

oh I hope not
