- ↑ Mr. Lloyd George reviewed the Military and Naval situation, speaking optimistically regarding the ultimate effect of the Russian Revolution and regarding the submarine menace. He said that the Government had come to the conclusion that the submarines could neither starve us out nor cripple our Military effort, and added "we are beginning to get them." He afterwards discussed the prospects and terms of peace, arguing that no honourable peace was at that moment attainable. No detailed exposition of war aims was given, but he declared that Mesopotamia would never be restored to Turkey and that the question of the German colonies must be settled by the Peace Conference. The conditions of peace, he stated, must be "guaranteed by the destruction of the Prussian Military Power," or better, by the "democratisation of the German Government." While disclaiming any desire to dictate to the Germans their form of Government, he said that the Allies would enter into negotiations with a free Government in Germany with a different temper and with more confidence than they could with a Government dominated by the spirit of Prussian Militarism.
