Moreover, 1 am not yet acquainted with what has happened hap-pened since I left England on I-eb-ruarv 1- 1 11,8 v- nevertheless, be permitted to say that the .recent pronouncements upon war aims of your president and of the British prime minister, which are substantially substan-tially in accord and are accepted bv the allies, have been received w'ith complete unanimity by the British people. You know how vastly the answers made by the German government have differed from their professions when cnter-inc cnter-inc into the negotiations at Brest Litovsk. But those utterances have now left no shadow of doubt that the German sovernment is wae'int; this war for conquest of nations and territory and for military mili-tary domination of the world. Only One Answer. There can be but one answer for the free, and democratic nations united in the strnu'Cfle arfainst the common enemy. It is to continue to put forth all their powers and to employ al! their resources to ro-sist ro-sist this "statement of military despotism des-potism and finally to bring about a just and lasting peace. Such a peace alone will jfive security against wanton afrzression and the violations of treaties and will insure in-sure liberty and justiec for all nations. na-tions. Let me impress upon yon lliat. when I left England the determination determi-nation to carry the war through to the end was as fixed as ever. Tbe K.ritish people are ready to face the critical months before us, perhaps per-haps the. most critical of the war, with crim tenacity. They are prepared pre-pared to endure whatever nf ferine; fer-ine; or privation or sacrifice may 1m- necessary to obtain the only possible conclusion of this war. That the American people aro i c'luallv .repared to make every effort ef-fort to lirinff about this re-iill. is the surest ;;uaraiitee that, the cause is just and the aim is righteous. |
