The Minister in Denmark ( Egan) to the Secretary of State
[Received July 7, 12.10 a.m.]
818. Deutsche Tageszeitung, July 3, quotes from a speech on June 30 by Wolfgang Heine, a member of the Reichstag:
I recently had a conversation with the Chancellor and I am in a position to state that he would be willing to conclude peace towards East and West to-day without any annexations or compensations. In the past the Chancellor has never asserted this with such distinctness to the public. He has considered it more appropriate to keep quiet. This is not owing to lack of earnestness but to the nature of his position.
