The Russians have refused to cooperate with Ibren? The representatives of Russia have very rightly, very wisely and in the ideal to let it be done and to leave it alone, in order to insist on the true spirit of modern democracy that the con- They appeal to us so that we can say what a source they want with the Teutonic and Turkish state lenses, and in what, if this is the case at all, our stopping, taking place at open and not behind closed doors, our visions and intentions deviate from theirs. Ieh believe that this will make the whole world, as it was desired, an audience people of the United States want me to be able to make it perfectly clear. So to whom have we listened? Those who answer it in spirit and afterward and openness. Whether the opposing leaders in soot- to the intentions of the disintegration of the German Reichstag of 9 July v.J. It is our sincere desire and our spokes, or those who embody the spirit and the intention of conquest and hope that somehow possibility will be created that will allow us to subjugate? Or do we actually intend both sides to help the Russian people in achieving all their hopes, which still stand in open hopeless contrasts with each other in freedom and orderly peace relations. It is ours to find? These are very serious urgent questions, on whose answer wish and our intention that in times of peace everything depends openly on the peace of the world. But, which also should go the success of negotiations, and in the future no secret agreements of any kind in Brest-Litovsk may be allowed and which kind of adjudication is allowed. The days of conquests and enlargements of the territory may conclude that they are over, as well as the time of the secret publishers, who in the interest of one have tried to make the world known with their war objectives, and have been closed to individual government, and are authorized to say in one of their opponents what their goals are and what unexpected moment to disturb world peace. It is a joyful tachograph, which is for everyone in the public sphere. There is therefore no valid reason why we have become aware of this challenge-standing man, whose thoughts should not still respond with extreme openness. We have lived on it in a dead and vanished age and have responded to it to everyone. Not even, repeatedly, have we made our departed and peoples, whose intentions are explained with justice and world peace views of the world, not in general expressions, tolerate, make possible, now or at any other time, but each time with a proper determination, to make it clear, openly confess to the goals it has in mind. We must be at war like the final conditions of peace that have occurred because violations of the right have occurred, which necessarily result from it. Last week Lloyd George met with the most sensitive and who would have made the lives of our people admirable openness and admiring spirit impossible for his people if they did not make amends and spoke to the British government once and for all against a repetition. It is therefore not a question of what we are asking for in this war. Central powers, no uncertainty about the principles and no ambiguity. It is that the world should be set up and made secure in terms of details. Secretism, insincerity and peace of life, and especially that every nation that loves peace, lack of precise determination of the goals of war, are only on the side of those who, as we also wish, wish to live their own life and of Germany and its allies. No statesman who is even the one who is determined to have his own institutions, the fairest concept of his responsibilities, would be certain of the unity and equity of other nations in the world, as well as of the moment that this tragic and terrible waste of rape and self-punishment can be assured. To continue all of good and blood, if he were not sure that the goals of the peoples of the world are concerned about this. And as far as we are concerned, this sacrifice of life is a salvation of the real life of society, we are quite clear that, if others do not find justice, we too and that the people for whom he speaks can not find it just as respectable and disrespectful. But there is still a voice which, according to this The Programme of World Peace, is therefore our programme, which also requires the definition of principles and intentions and which may be the only possible programme at the same time. It is the following. It is more shrill and compelling than the other touching voices, of which the first point is that all those who are guilty of peace are public and the world is full. It is the voice of the Russian people. This has come about publicly and that after that no secret fainting and, as it seems, completely helpless against the insubstantial international agreements of any kind will be made fruitful power of Germany, which so far may not be mild and no pity, but that diplomacy has always known openly and before all the world.
