They said the fundamental facts | underlying such discussions, how- i ?ver. would be, on one hand, that ' France started and lost the war, ; icncc must pay: and on the other [ hand that the axis will be guided joth by a desire to be decent to a j /anguished enemy and by a feeling af responsibility toward a new, peaceful Europe.
