ilization the great question will be
solved, and you minute men are one

Speaking of Tie recent AVS rian

:atd that Che German govern n,:'1.' s
attitude toward pace had been ma n
ifested to the whole world in repeated

I'VE maintain this appeal for peace,

experienced from our enemies. In
this We are in full accord with our

The foreign secretary said that af-
ter the previous failures, it had ap-
peared to the German government that
it should not take any further steps
in this direction and that moment
when the nations enemies were "suf-
fersng from war psychosis and the
intoxication of victory, was not
suitable time for new appeals for
peace.
The appeal, however, was made, "
the secretary added.
