That is why this present war must go on to a definite and triumphant conclusion for the allies. We must definitely smash the German power, so it will not be possible to rebuild it and make it a fresh menace. We must so thoroly cripple Ger- man arms that no ruler or set of men will any longer dream of conquest. We must see this thing thru to the end. When peace is finally declared it must not be a mere armed truce. The rivalry of the future must be in the arts of peace. It’s a grim job. It’s an ugly job. It’s a costly job. But it is better to do it now, once for all, than to do it halfway and then have to start all over again five or ten or fifteen years from now, at far greater cost in blood and treasure.

They talk of storing great quantities of grain and other provisions, and cotton, copper, rubber and other war necessities. They are keen to get back their colonial posses- sions to establish their munition factories and deep sea harbors, so their ships and U-boats can have refuge and can remunition.
