It may be observed, however, that, given the German mentality, their
conception of justice may not be the same as that of the Allies.
And, also, surely the Allies as well as Germany, even before Germany,
should feel this impression of justice. The Allies who fought together
should conclude the War with a peace equal for all.
Now, following the method suggested in the Note of March 26, what will
be the result?
A certain number of total and definite guarantees will be given to
maritime nations whose countries were not invaded.
Total and definite, the surrender of the German colonies.
Total and definite, the surrender of the German war fleet.
Total and definite, the surrender of a large part of the German
commercial fleet.
Total and lasting, if not definite, the exclusion of Germany from
foreign markets.
For the Continental countries, on the other hand--that is to say, for
the countries which have suffered most from the War--would be reserved
partial and transitory solutions:
Partial solution, the modified frontiers suggested for Poland and
Bohemia.
