Viscount Grey reviewed the premier negotiations, showing that Germany alone refused to agree to a pacific conference. 1 “All efforts to avoid the war failed,” he said, “because the will for j war existed in Berlin. It is because we have had this experience that we . are determined that the war will nob < end until we are sure that future generations shall not be subject to such a terrible trial again.”
