Mr. Mclennan imaxAm nest proposed " Coanetlon

Rupiahs accept facials sonditions as the buis of negotiation

to put an end to the war on assent of the commercial in-

ocuivenieace it might °cession. But he could not view the
question apiece or war in that light. If the weal of the
country required then sacrifices from ladividuals, they
should be cheerfully given. Be believed if the allies stood
