It Is for thC; tonlstry to, state our case, to [the German) people and to the world. 0 ^ the effbtlvehess ol that) work may defend’the lengtt.of the war land the 'sacrifices It; will er tall oii ourselves and on the people of Gennan^i. On that effectiveness may depend very largely the subsequent co-6beratlon of the German people In the building of i new: order .In International aJffalrs, from which the threat of armed (ionflict and all its attendant horrors will be finally eradicated,. The re-organlsW Ministry has An esbntial duty to peiffom. Its efforts at performing that duty will be watched. It Is for the Ministry to blazon the truth. Lies we dq noi need.
