Excerpt from The War and Liberty: And an Address on Reconstruction
Cabinet during the years that preceded the war and at the time of its outbreak, it is not a matter of deduction or of belief, but of knowledge, that there was no plot among the neighbours of Germany to injure her, that there was no policy of encirclement designed to check her com mercial expansion and to precede a military attack. They know that the Government Of Great Britain had no other wish than to live at peace with all the world, and no other aim during the fateful days before the outbreak of war than to attempt any and every means to ward off the disaster. And they know that both France and Russia earnestly desired peace also their readiness to agree to any proposal that offered a prospect of preserving peace gave evidence of it; their painful un certainty, when war was imminent, as to the course the United Kingdom would take, was in itself enough to disprove the theory of a prearranged attack.
