We were now holding, in some force, the railways from Batum to Baku and the Admiralty had a fleet of armed vessels on the Caspian Sea. Mr. Churchill paid a tribute to the gallant services performed by Colonel John Ward, with a handful men on the Omsk front. They had become a factor of appreciable importance in stemming the tide The enforcement of Bolsheriam from immense regions in Siberia. of peace terms called for a speedy settlement. We were holding all means of coercion ready for immediate use, rigorously enforcing the blockade and maintaining strong armies able to advance at the shortest notice. Germany was at present on the verge of starvation, bat when she accepted our terms the revictualling of the country and the supply of necessary raw material could be energetically pursued. Any delay in settling with Germany might cause another great area sinking into anarchy. It would not be possible to withdraw our Armies of Occupation immediately Germany agreed to our terms, as we have to make sure that she would carry them out. These Armies, moreover, would compel Germany to act rightly towards the new States on her eastern border, whose continued prosperity was such an important factor of the whole European problem. Churchill therefore urged the maintaining of a strong Army in the Rhineland until the future is clearer. He concluded by emphasising the need of not being carried away by success into demanding more than was right or prudent. The finest combination in the world was power and mercy; the worst was weakness and spite.
