The moment your back hurts or

PEACE ONLY ON
TERMS DICTATED
BY JOHN BULL
Lord Robert Cecil, Minister Of
War Trade, Says England
Has Not ReCeded From Her
Former Position,

London, Dec THE war must be
fought TO a military conclusion on the
east and west fronts, with the block
ade playing only secondary part,
said Lord Robert Cecil minister Of
war trade, in discussing with the As
sociatod Press today the latest devel-
opments In the world conflict.
The condition Of Rumana,' Lord
Robert continued, causes us grave
regret But there Us no reason 10 sup
pose the operations there will affect
the result Of the war. which must be
fought out on the main fronts. The
conditions under which we viii accept
peace oVertures remain the same as
outlined several months ago.
Asked concerning the origin Of the
allegation in the Morning Post edito-
rial that Germany had offered the en-
tente powers generous peace terms In
return for a free hand in Central and
South America. Lord Robert said.
"Of course, II is well-k known that
Germany had very definite ambitions
in Central ana South America even
before the war, but I am unaware of
any peace having been offered MS on
the terms mentioned by the Morning
Post We have no knowledge that
such oyertures ever had been made
here
The London Morning Post In It's is
sue OF last Tuesday, argued that the
Germans were willing for immediate
peace and would give the entente
powers everything they desired, but
only on the condition that Germany
be allowed a free rand IN Central ana
South America
I'VE understand" said the editorial,
that condition has been put forward,
of course, discrCetly ana unoffically,
by the German government and that
1t has been rejected by the allies"
The editorial added that at any
time In the last ten years, we could
have had an agreement with Ger
many by allowing her free hand
across the Atlantic"
