Wdr Summary

Great Britain's war aims were set George in the broadest and at the same time most specific manner in which they have yet been stated. In one of the most striking and cOmpre- hensive utterances of the war the premier made it clear what the Brif- ish nation and empire would regard as a just and durable peace. This he declared. must be achieved by the re-establishment of the sanctity of treaties, territorial adjustments on the basis of self-gOvernment and the limi- tstien of araments guaranteed by an international organization.
 Great Britain was not fighting. said the premier, to disrupt Germany. de stroy Austria Hungary or to take Turkeys capital or her home lands from Aer. The desire. instead he in sisted. was to turn Germany from her schemes of military domination to he inefficient tasks in the world and tO set, tie the territorial questions of the war in a way that would do justice tO the various nationslities affected.
 In efefct a reply to and rejection of the peace terms of the central powers as voiced by their spokesman recently at Brest-Litovsk. the premi- CTS speech was for the most part an affirmative utterance. In great detail he went into the many problems csll- ing for solution if the peace he dad in mind was Co be forthcoming
