that the Democrats expect to elect

NO PEACE SAYS
CR[YUNT|L WAR
BR|NCSL|BERTY
Allies Jointly Must Consider b.
sis Upon Which Hostilities
End
NEUTRAL COUNTRIES CAN
PREvENTFUTURE WARS
Foreign Secretary Sees Little
Chance Of Ending Conflict
Soon

London, Oct. 23.-Another contribu.
tion to the discussion on peace was
made by Viscount Grey, secretary for
foreign affairs, at lunch given today
~ the Foreign Press association, at
which the diplomatic representatives
of all the allied countries were pres
ent.
The foreign secretary made it plain
that the Allies we're not prepared to
discuss peace terms, and gave no indi-
cation of what their terms might be,
but welcomed any effort by neutral
countries for q combination to pre-.
vent future wars. Some Of the most
important passages of the secretary's s
speech follow: .s
General Object.
II would like to talk not indeed,
about actual conditions of peace,
which can only be stated and formu-
lated by the Allies together and not
by any one Of them separately, but
about the general object which the
Allies must secure in this war. And
to do that would ~ you to recall
that we must never 16rset Row the
war came about. If we are to ap'
prOach peace in a proper spirit, it
can only be by recollecting and re-
calling and never for moment for.
getting what was the real cause OF
the war. #
Germany talks Of peace; her
statesmen talk of peace today. They
say: Germany must have guarantees
against being attacked again If this
war had been forced upon Germany
that would be a logical statement. 1t
is precisely because it was not forced
upon Germany, but was forced By Ger
many upon Europe that it is the AL
lies who must have guarantees fol-
future peace"
The NeutraIs' Task.
Passing to the question of neutral
countries, Viscount Grey said, in an
swer to q question as to what they
could do.
II believe the best work neutrals
can do for the moment is to try to
prevent war like this from happening
again. If the nations had been united
in such an agreement and prompt
resolution to insist in 1914 that the
dispute must be referred to a con
ference or The Hague, that the Bel
gian treaty must be observed, there
would have been no vars aH
