He said that Germany cannot think of ceding the Saar Valley, or Silesia, or of allowing a foreign committee to lntGl£4lß with Germany's internal affaire ”Wc insist on a peace based on President Wilson’s Fourteen Points; and 1 cannot imagine that any Government can be found in Germany which will sign such a treaty. Anyhow, we could not fulfil its obligations.
