In the negotiations initiated, your representa tives will do their utmost to secure a just and peerful termination of the stuggle, but history, particularly our history, and the charmeter of the issue which will be decided, are a warning against undue confidence. An aabend. ing letermination to endure all that may still be necessary, and a fortitude such as you have shown" during all re- sent sufferings may be required. Thre alone will lead to the desired peace. Should force be resumed against- our. nation, you must be ready to do your part once more ad rezist.
