Necessity for a re-statement of war
aims has been emphasised by other de
velopments. First, the military, politi
cal and economic situation has changed;
vastly because of the Russian debacle.
Secondly, an erroneous impression has
been created not only In Germany, but
In allied and neutral nations by the let
ter of the Marquis of Lansdowne. '
Third, President. Wilson's re-declaration
of America's altruism in the war
is a challenge to America's allies for a
parallel pledge. -
