common interest and sentiment, and
our pfayerful hope that Christian d.
plomacy may soon add to these ties a
treaty providing for the absolute set

questions which may arise between the
republic and the empire. Such a treaty
between these nations we believe would
be the beginning of a great world

soon learn war no more
