Achievement of the purposes for
which the allies are lighting is es-
sential to the future freedom and
peace of mankind"

made only in agreement with Great
Britain's allies. The question of is
suing a fresh joint declaration, he
added, was being constantly kept in
view by the entente allied govern
ments.

garded as the British reply to the
