paragraph Lansdowne says:
Germany should be told "that the annihi-
lation Of Germany great power was
not desired"
In his reply to the Pope the President
said:
I'VE seek no material advantage of any
kind. We believe that the intolerahe
wrongs done in this war by the furious and
brutal power of the Imperial German Gov
ernment ought to be repaired. but not at
the expense of the sovereignty of any

ment OF empires, the establishment Of

futile, no proper basis for n peace of any
kind, least of all an enduring peace"
GERMANY's GOVERNMENT

German people form of government
