Mr. Archer thinks that the opposite course which has been recommended, namely, that Britain should have definitely pledged her- self to France and Russia as soon as there was a prospéct of war between Russia and Austria was not only fm- possible, but that if it had been adopted it would have merely hast- ened the end. In considering this matter we must try to rid our minds of what we have learned since, and think only of what was known more than two years ago. Russia was not then popular with the average British citizen; and while Germany was properly disliked and distrusted by those who had studied ber policy, the nation would never bave supported Grey in making war on her for Serbia's sake. It was only when France and Belgium became Involved that British public opinion manifested itself.

From the point of view of what was politically possible, Sir Edward Grey could not bave declared further in advance [than he did the course that Britain would. pursue.
