Abstract

Talks with Bismarck

Kapp, Friedrich | October 13, 1870 issue

add to cart   close window

Several English papers have lately published incidental remarks of German leader Otto von Bismarck to English reporters and travelers, which all tend to show his great modesty in his conditions for a peace. His official dispatches, however, prove how little these reports can be relied on. Bismarck has his own way of making those of his views known to the world which he wants to have circulated. As leading statesmen in other countries make their electioneering addresses or dinner speeches, he invites an influential newspaper editor or correspondent and in such an insinuating manner makes them confidants of his often real, often simulated plans, that they implicitly believe in him.
