Germany's allies. Herr Goethein con-
tinued, were not inclined to continue
the war for pan-German plans Of con-
quest. but were striving for peace by
understanding and conciliation. while
the pan.G German clamor for annexation
was finding a bad reception among
them. He asserted that the long work.
ing hours and insufficient feeding at
home increased the desire for peace
among the workers and that strikes
might be expected II tie war should
be continued for aims Of conquest.
Goethein said further that although
the military situation was satisfactory.
there was no hope of crushing Ger
many's enemies on land. As for the
submarine campaign. 100000 tons OF
shipping had been sunk, he asserted.
but no disposition toward peace on the
part of England was discernible. A
rationing system for foodstuffs hed
not been even introduced, and no one
was able to say when the U-boat
would make England more inclined for
peace.
