A Lasting Peace A Conversation Between X. (a Neutral) and Y. (an Englishman) (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Lasting Peace: A Conversation Between X. (A Neutral) And Y. (An Englishman) A Conversation between X. (a neutral) and Y. (an Englishman). X. Let me ask you two questions Why the Allies reject the proposal to make peace at once? And secondly: Why they are unable to accept the idea of a peace without victory? Y. These two questions are closely connected; indeed, they are the same question in two different forms. To put the answer quite simply, the Allies refuse to make peace now, because it would mean a peace without victory to them, but with Victory for Germany. At the present moment Germany is undefeated, though we believe she is nearing defeat. We are not victorious, though we believe our victory is at hand. How can you expect us to give up the reward when it appears to be within our grasp? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
