Continuing, he said: ‘‘lf there were a Minister—which thank God, there isn’t—who was so coyardly, so short-sighted, and so imbecile as to conclude a peace leaving Prussia with the same devilish power as in the past, I am afraid our- Dominions would say the country was so governed that it was not the country to adhere, and that it would be better to find better statesmen of their own.
