hearings published today.
cher one opportunity is to pro-

costly as possible, with the idea
OF wearying the British and Amer

said.
The object OF a negotiated peace,
he said, would Be to give Germany
time to reorganize and prepare for
a resumption OF war even though
she might have TO wait 20 to 40
years.
While Germany cannot win the
war by defeating Allied armies, he
argued that the Allies face a tire
mendous task in administering total
defeat to Germany which would
bring unconditional surrender.
Voicing doubt that bombing alone
will win the war, he said that the
strength Of Germany may be Slapped
so that a combined Russian-British-
American invasion of Germany can
be made during the middle or latter
part Of 1914.
