Excerpt from What Germany Is Fighting For
In presenting this account of German War-Aims, which was written in February of this year, it is all-important to remember, that, whatever changes and concessions are made by the German Government in formulating their Peace Proposals in the future, enforced upon them by the effective military power of the Allies, the war-aims here given represent the aims for which Germany has until now been fighting.
The Chancellor's speech before the Reichstag last month in no way contradicted the aims as given in this book; while the same, in varying degrees, applies to the speeches by representatives of every party. Even the speeches of Herr Scheidemann, Herr Ledebur, the Socialists, while opposing the extreme demands of the All-deutsche Party, did not clearly repudiate the aims which the sophistry of German aggressive policy includes in the terms of "defensive measures for the safety and expansion of the fatherland".
