German Foreign Minister Zimmermann Rules Out New Peace Steps
Dr Alfred Zimmermann, German Foreign Minister, told The Associated Press that Germany cannot consider direct terms or new peace conditions after the Entente’s latest proposals. He said Germany must avoid appearing to seek peace at all costs and warned that publishing terms to contrast Entente demands could aid Allied morale, potentially reducing public support for further German efforts. He also noted the Entente’s planned offensive might allow future negotiations, but a formal inquiry by President Wilson would hinge on Entente actions and German resolve.
