Abstract
THE solemn declaration of the Supreme War Council issued in London last week states firmly and explicitly what most people have taken for granted about the unity of the Allies in war and in the making of peace. It should now be clear to the whole world that their unity is firmly established, and that it is not merely a contribution towards winning the war but will also constitute the sure and stable foundation of an enduring peace. The two Governments, desiring to extend the scope of agreements concluded last December to all spheres affecting the interests and security of the two nations, mutually undertake that they will neither negotiate nor conclude an armistice or treaty of peace except by mutual agreement, and that they will not discuss peace terms before reaching complete agreement on the conditions necessary to ensure to each of them an effective and lasting guarantee of their security.
