In that quality of English Of which be is
our intent and aim in this war more
clearly than it has yet been formulated
by any one on either side of the world.
He makes two things clear: First, that
the war must 90 on until this ''intolera-
bic thing" the German power, sis at
least shut out from the friendly inter
course of the nations; and second, that
the terms Of peace must be such as to
allow all peoples to make "their own
lives safe, their own fortunes secure
against oppression or injustice and from
the dictatioD of foreign courts or
parties"
