LUDICROUSLY SIMPLE
.SIR EDWARD GOSCHEN ON PEACE TERMS By TclcgTaph-PrcEs Association-Coipyright (Eee. June 23, 10 p.m.) London, Juno 23. Sir Eilivard Goschen, formerly British ■Ambassador at Berlin, in a letter to an English journalist in. Switzerland, referring to the statements of the Swiss Press that Germany, being victorious on land and sea, was ready to make peace,'says: "The German Chancellor has not formulated the terms he is prepared to accept. He appears to think that' the Entente Powers, having failed to conquer, . are therefore conquered. The answer ; a ludicrously simple. The Entente Pow ers oannot accept the. view, that .they are conquered.' If by some" miracle every Entente , gun and every Entente soldier were swept out to-morrow, still it would be for the Entente fleets to determine whether ii single German merchantman shall issue from the Heligoland Bight They could wither the whole growth of German oversea -trade at the. root. Who l these things are brought home to th'« Germans, as tliey will be, they will perhaps be ready .to - suggest terms which the Entente Powers can accept."
