NAVAL MESSAGE (NAVY DEPARTMENT) DEAR MR. PRESIDENT: DURING THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS CABLES HAVE BEEN SENT TO YOU COVERING THE EXPLORATION WORK THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO SO FAR IN THE WAR AND PEACE SITUATION IN EUROPE. IN THIS CONCLUDING MESSAGE OF THE SERIES I SHOULD LIKE TO MAKE A FEW SUGGESTIONS TO YOU IN RELATION TO THE CURRENT PROMBLEM. I HAVE BEEN RATHER SATURATED WITH THE PROBLEM PARTICULARLY DURING THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS AND AM PRESENTING THE SUGGESTIONS WITH THE HOPE THAT THEY MIGHT BE SLIGHTLY HELPFUL IN DEVELOPING YOUR OWN VIEWS AND PLANS. THE PEOPLES OF EUROPE ARE UNITED IN THE BELIEF THAT THE PRESENT WAR COULD HAVE BEEN AVERTED. THERE IS TODAY A DEEPER SELF INTEREST APPEAL FOR ALL THE BELLIGERENT PEOPLE IN MAKING PEACE THAN IN CONTINUING THE WAR. NOBODY CAN DOUBT THE WISH OF EVERY BELLIGERENT COUNTY FOR THE ENDING OF THIS WAR. THE WORLD FACES MANY PROBLEMS TODAY JUST AS SERIOUS AS WAR AND FAR MORE WORTHY OF SACRIFICES. NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS IS GOING TO BE SOLVED BY THIS WAR. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN A MAN OR A NATION MUST FIGHT. THERE ARE THINGS WORTH MORE THAN |
