Certain European neutrals--Sweden, Rumania, Greece, and others--will put up a firm resistance to Germanic influences and certain of them will take part with Great Britain and France.

There will be an end at once to the German propaganda, which is now world-wide.

The moral weight of our country will be a determining influence and bring an early peace.

The credit you will receive for such a decision will make you immortal and even the people of Germany will be forever grateful.
It is my conviction that we would not be called upon to fire a gun or to lose one human life.
Above all, such an action will settle the whole question of permanent peace.

The absolute and grateful loyalty of the whole British Empire, of the British Fleet, and of all the Allied countries will be ours.
