SEWARD, ALASKA, THURSDAY, DEC. 14,1916
The question that occupied the thoughts of everyone
yesterday, perhaps, was called up by the German propos
als to hold peace negotiations. It is, of course, the opinion
of all who have given attention to the matter that Great
Britain cannot afford to make peace now it she can avoid
it. Even if Germany agreed to a restoration of the status
existing before the war Britain could not accept the terms
without at least great loss of prestige. A’ot only, how
ever,, would there be loss of prestige but loss ot power as
submarine developments during the war have begun to
sound the ueath knell of naval supremacy in great ships.
Great Britain cannot ami will not accept the offer of
peace at present. At least she cannot and will not accept
the oiler of peace Germany would be prepared to make.
To make peace now Britain would have to take the posi-'
tion of one that came off second best for the first time in
centuries. She would have to consent to let the world
know that a stronger power lias arisen in Europe, and
tins might well mean a loss of prestige that would cause
decay to set in. Proud Britannia must light on or get
sick.
The possibility that Russia, France or Italy might
agree to peace terms is not quite so remote if all we up
here can read about conditions has given us the right im-f
pression. Four France has rather gained prestige than
lost it in the present war, and even a loss of prestige to the
brave Republic would mean only a repetition of 1870—
something to which she has become accustomed in her re
cent history. Russia also has suffered humiliation in late
veal's and the nation, like the individual, which has suffer
id one humiliation can easily stomach another. Indeed,
it is not unlikely that moral considerations instead of
material ones will decide the fate of von Bethmann Hol
weg’s oiler to get together. To quit now would be for
Britain the stepping down, no matter how little, from a
pinnacle which she thought site had held secure. I-alike
either of nor allies site has been not accustomed to eat
crow and lack of education to swallow such a dish would
make it bitterly unpalatable. The British government
and the British people will spurn the chancellor’s offer.
This may be taken for granted unless Russia or France
decides that the time has come to end the bloodshed.
Without the aid of France the British must leave French
soil and without the aid of Russia the result would not be
in doubt. Do you think, really, that this is how matters
stand—that not one but all the Entente nations must re-,
fuse the German oifer or the peace negotiations will take
place?
