Consequently, this proposal likewise cannot affect my contention that the German desiderata regarding Danzig and a motor road constitute unilateral demands. It appears to me that I have already made clear our attitude, but for the sake of order I will make a resume. Peace is certainly the object of the difficult and intensive work of Polish diplomacy. If the Government of the Reich is really guided by those two pre-conditions in relation to this country, then all conversations, provided, of course, that they respect the principles I have already enumerated, are possible. If such conversations took place, the Polish Government will, according to their custom, approach the problem objectively, having regard to the experience of recent times, but without withholding their utmost goodwill.
Peace is a valuable and desirable thing.
Our generation, which has shed its blood in several wars, surely deserves a period of peace. But peace, like almost everything in this world, has its price, high but definable. There is only one thing in the life of men, nations and States which is without price, and that is honour. William C. Fray and Lisa A. Spar, Co-Directors.
