CATION. In this letter NJ. Clemenceau
says:
The Allied and associated powers
have given the most earnest consider
alton to the observation of the Ger
man delegates on the draft treaty of
peace. The reply protests against the
peace on the ground that it conflicts
with the terms upon which the armi.
stice OF Nov IL, 1918, was signed and
that IL Is a peace OF violence and not
peace OF Justice. The protest Of the
German delegation shows that they
fall TO understand the position in
which Germany stands today. They
seem to think that Germany has only
to make sacrifices in order to attain
peace as II this were but the end OF
some mere struggle for territory and
power. The Allied and associated
governments. therefore. feel 1t neces'
sary to begin their reply by q clear
statement Of the judgment OF the
world. which has been forged by prac-
tically the whole Of civilized mankind
Crime Against Humanity.
I'm the view Of the Allied and asso.
ciated powers the war which began
on Aug. II. 1914. was the greatest
crime against humanity and freedom
Of the people that any nation calling
itself civilized has ever consciously
committed. For many years the rul.
ers Of Germany, true to the Prussian
tradition. strived for position of
dominance in Europe. They were not
satisfied with that growing prosperity
and influence to which Germany was
entitled and which all other nations
We're willing to accord her; they re-
quired that they should be able to
dictate and tyrannize over subserv.
ieat Europe as they dictated and tyr.
