But, said the Chancellor, as far as I know it has not been answered to this day. No serene-minded neutral, no matter whether he favours us or not, con doubt our right to defend ourselves against this war of starvation, which is contrary
to international law. No one can dak that we allow our arms of defence to be wrested from our hands. We use them and most use them. We respect the legitimate rights of the trade of neutrals and of their emmerec but we expect that this respect appreciated, and that our right and our daty be recognized to use all means against this policy of starvation, which is

London. To this idea we oppose the idenever hid, often giving it public expres that Germany in this war had only one ain, unmoly, to defend herself, to maintain her oxistance and to hold her enemies hack from her frontiers, and wherever their lust of destructi n has shown itself, to drive the enemy back as quickly mus possible. We did not want this war we felt no desire to change our frontiers when the war broke out against our will. We threatened no nation with isolation or with the destruction of her national life.
The Chancellor then referred to the rout of Germany's present strength, saying —

What is our intention?
