Volume 2 — VON BETHMANN-HOLLWEG'S PEACE SONG
Reading edition
This new Europe in many respects cannot resemble the past. The blood which has been shed will never be repaid, and the wealth which has been destroyed can only slowly be replaced. But, whatever else this Europe may be, it must be for the nations that inhabit it a land of peaceful labor. The peace which shall end this war shall be a lasting peace. It must not bear the germ of new wars, but must provide for a peaceful arrangement of European questions.
Von Bethmann-Hollweg. Reichstag, April 5, 1916.
