BLUEBEARD’S CHAMBER
Reading edition
Our function is ended when we have stated what the evidence establishes, but we may be permitted to express our belief that these disclosures will not have been made in vain if they touch and rouse the conscience of mankind, and we venture to hope that as soon as the present war is over the nations of the world in council will consider what means can be provided and sanctions devised to prevent the recurrence of such horrors as our generation is now witnessing.
Bryce, F. Pollock, Edward Clarke, Kenelm E. Digby, Alfred Hopkinson, H. A. L. Fisher, Harold Cox, Concluding words of the Report of the Committee appointed by the British Government to investigate alleged German atrocities in Belgium.
