Does it carry out in substance and in spirit, neither falling behind nor going beyond, the purpose for which the war was begun and carried on at an immeasurable sacrifice of personal and material wealth by the free peoples of the world? There is no ambiguity as to those purposes. They were defined first by myself in the early weeks of the war, speaking on behalf not only of this country, but of this Empire. They were expounded in practically identical terms by the leading statesmen of the Allie...s, and when, two years later, America came in they were reaffirmed and illustrated with lucidity, with full- ness, with particularity of eloquence, by President Wilson. You all know what those purposes are and were. I can sum- 11 marize them in a sentence. The war was, for us, not a war of Conditions aggression but of emancipation, and its aim and end was a peace of a Clean which, while ensuring adequate punishment for the wrongdoers and eace ' adequate reparation for their victims, should be a peace not of vindictiveness, sowing the seeds of future enmity and conflict, but a peace of security, a peace of finality — what I have more than once described as "a clean peace ' ' which would not only put an end to rival armaments, but would provide a workable means for safe- guarding the world for all time from the desolations and the wastes of war.
