Germany Has No Grievance.

We can appreciate in some measure the feeling ofsthoseS Germans

that we desire more than peace, or as preliminary and Indispensable

1t is important to emphasize that fact. The peace seekers of Ger
many cannot be allowed to- get away unchallenged with the assertion
that they are seeking peace as an aggrlevcd and injured nation. The
only grievance Germany has against the world is that the world re-
fused to lie down and be trampled under foot when Germany began
tramping. @ I

up arms only in the defense of her liberty and independence and for
