I want to tell you that I think this war is a great mistake.

I want to tell you that I think this war is a great mistake.

I feel that an understanding could be reached with Germany which would result in a lasting peace with Europe and believe that a German victory is preferable to a British and Soviet victory.

We have given most of Europe to Hitler. Let us try to hold on to what we have got left.

But the same intelligence compels Germany to practise the same policy.

In the event of a victory over Germany by Soviet Russia and England, Bolshevism in Europe would inevitably follow. Under these circumstances I would prefer to see Germany win the war.

It is in order that France may find her place in the new Europe that you will respond to my appeal.
