Excerpt from Documents and Statements Relating to Peace Proposals War Aims: December 1916 November 1918 The object of this publication is to preserve the record of the aims of the belligerent Governments, as set forth by them during the great war. No official edition of this material is likely to be issued; and the documents and speeches might easily be buried and lost in the files of newspapers. With regard to the official Notes of the Governments, there has been no difficulty of selection. The choice of speeches is necessarily arbitrary. But the attempt has been made to select those which are most significant and important. In some cases only extracts are given from the full speech, or a summary is substituted in part. Where this is the case, it is indicated in the text; and it is believed that no misrepresentation will be found to be involved in a procedure adopted only in order to eliminate what seemed unessential.
