Notes
- ↑ Herr Dernburg declared Great Britain to be the cause of the prolongation of the war, and to have obstructed Germany in Morocco and Mesopotamia. Suggested freedom of the seas and the retention of Belgium as a basis on which Germany could make peace; later offered evacuation of Belgium, if England would grant freedom of the seas and liberty for German expansion outside Europe.
