London, To-day.
What would be the state of Europe at the end of the war depended upon the length and intensity of the strug- gle.
The primary aim was to win the war by defeating those who "have by their repeated violation of European order and threats to freedom, obliged us to take up arms." Instinctively, all wanted European men and women to have a chance of leading a decent and orderly life.
