Abstract
FOR some weeks past, much paper and ink have been expended in discussing the war aims of the Allies. Although the British and French Premiers and others have declared repeatedly and on various occasions that the purpose of the Allies is to put an end to the constant aggressions of Germany, in the interests of peace among the European peoples, there are those who feel that, as thus stated, Allied aims are not sufficiently defined. Hence there is frequent difference of opinion as to whether, in arriving at the terms of a peace, it will be possible to discriminate between the Nazi Government and the German people. In this connexion, Mr. Chamberlain's restatement of the aims of Great Britain and her Allies in his broadcast of November 26 as “the defeat of that aggressive, bullying mentality which seeks continually to dominate other peoples by force, which finds a brutal satisfaction in the persecution and torture of inoffensive citizens, and in the name of the interests of the State justifies the repudiation of its own pledged word whenever it finds it convenient” should allay all doubt.
