'But a discussion of future arrangements destined to insure an enduring peace presupposes a satisfactory settlement of the actual conflict; the allies have as profound a desire as the gov ernment of the United States to terminate as soon as pos sible a war which the central empires are responsible and which ijxfliets such cruel sufferings upon humanity.. . Impossible At Present But they believe that it is impossible at the present moment to attain a peace which will assure them repara tion, restitution and such guarantees to which they are en titled by the aggressions for which the principle itself tended to ruin tfce security of Europe; a peace which would on the other hand permit the establishment of the future of European nations on a solid basis. The allied nations ; re conscious that they are not fighting for selfish inter ests, but above all to safeguard the independence of peo ples, of right and of humanity. "The allies are fully aware of the losses94 and suffer ing which the war causes to neutrals as well as to belliger ents, and they deplore them; but they do not hold them selves responsible for them, having in no way eitner wiJLled or provoked this war, and they strive to reduce these dam aces in the measure compatible with the inexorable exigen cies of their defense against the violence and the wiles of the enemy. --,. "It is with satisfaction, therefore, that they take note of the declaration that the American communication is in no wise associated in its origin with that of the central powers transmitted on the 18th of December by the gov ernment of the United States .They, did hot doubt, more over, the resolution of that government to avoid even the appearance of a support, even moral, ef 'the authors re sponsible for the war.- . .. .
