dents have happened Of late which are

"In the third place. his aim Is OBJ
viously to Justify his Government In
the eyes Of his wi people. There Is
undoubtedly a strong n widespread
desire for peace in Germany and a
powerful and growing suspicion Of the
Government. That suspicion he hopes
to allay by putting the Allies In the
position Of refusing all overtures and

viction that Germany IL being reduced
