Germany must pay the cost of the war to the limit of ber capacity. This would not be permitted by letting Germany dump cheap goods in the United Kingdom:
The Premier seked if nobody was going to be punished for the orimes of the the war. He meant to see that the men who treated car prisoners inhumanely should be mske responsible to this

He did not wish to pursue any policy of vengeance when the war was over, but we must so act now that men who in the future would feel tempted to follow the example of the rulers who plunged the world into this war would koow what was awaiting them of the end of it. Whoever devastated another a land ought to be responsible for it and should be punished for the damage inflicted. - If no one was going to be made responsible for the war, all he could say was there was one justice for the poor wretched oriminal sad another for Kings and Emperors. (Bans red cheers). Submarine pirates must be punished. "The investigation of all these òrimes" he said, "shall be perfectly fair by being a stern one. We must ses that the action we now iska will be just, fearless | and relentless, and show each criminal that war shall never ba repeated in the world's history."
