Viscount Milner, minister without portfolio in the British Brit-ish war council, speaking today at the American Luncheon club, declared against any peace with the unrepentant German rulers. Touch hip on the entry of the United states into the war and the 'moral significance of it, Lord Milner Mil-ner evoked a tremendous outburst from those at the luncheon when he said: "I feel that your country and mine are now united by something far stronger than any written pact or alii-auce, alii-auce, namely, by an absolute unity of motive and aim. ' ' Viscount Milner quoted Admiral von Tirpitz as declaring at the launching of a new' party in Germany few days ago: "Jt must be stated that, it is not wrong, but ripht, that has been done to Belgium," Viscount Milner continued: ''This is our reply thereto: It must be stated once and for all that until doctrines of that kind are abandoned there can be no peace .for Germany, no intercourse w-ith the rest of the civilized world, no chance of regaining the place she has lost." After directing attention to the fact that virtually three-quarters of the inhabited in-habited world was now alienated from Germany, Lord Milner said: "Germany's profound moral isolation is beginning to tell on her people. Pin your faith as much as you like to blood and iron, there are material as w-ell as niural disadvantages for those who have fallen outside the pale of the civilized community and have forfeited for-feited the respect of civilized peoples. For a nation which lias taken so large a part in human intercourse and held so high a place in human advancement this is no light matter. "There are signs that this aspect is beginning to weigh on the minds and depress the spirits of the German people. peo-ple. That is why a new party has been called into being in Germany to revive the waning spirit and , preach anew the doctrine that might is right.'' |
