even If all the Allies of World

sire to establish a just and hon.
orable peace, there would still be
great difficulties in the way of
achieving that goal.
But the situation in the world
today is rot primarily the result
of the natural difficulties which
follow a great war. 1t Is chiefly
due to the fact that one nation
has not only refused to CO.
operate in the establishment of a
just and honorable peace, but
even worse-has actively sought
to prevent it.
