Neither directly nor indirectly

But we do not want them to offer 1t to
us; we want them to ask 1t of us. We
do not want to submit to their con-

them. We do not want a peace which
would leave Imperial Germany with
the power to recommence the war and
keep Europe eternally menaced. We
want peace which receives from re-

equilibrium and stability.
so long as that peace is not as
sured to us, so long as our enemies
will not recognize themselves as van
pushed, we will not cease to fight."
