said the Prime Minister of one of the
larger countries.
1T has been argued that 1t is not
the time at present to start such a
process of negotiation. The answer
we bring is that every delay makes
more difficult the beginning of ne
gotiations, more nations becoming
involved, and the situation becomes
more complicated that when at times
in the course of the war such bal
ance was struck, the neutrals were
unprepared to act
As to actual military Situation,
however, we quote a remark made
tc US by foreign minister of one OF
the belligerent powers. Neither side
is today strong enough to dictate
terms, and neither side is so weak
that it has to accept buniliating
