With the signing of peace with Romania the war in the east is ended. Three treaties of peace have been signed—with Petrograd, Ukraine, and Romania. One principal section of the war is thus ended. Before discussing the separate peaces which have been signed, and before going into details, I wish to return to the statements of the President of the United States wherein he replied to the speech I made before the delegations on Jan. 24. In many parts of the world Mr. Wilson's speech was regarded as an attempt to drive a wedge between Vienna and Berlin. I do not believe that, because I have much too high an opinion of Mr. Wilson's statesmanship to suspect him of such a train of thought. According to my impressions, Mr. Wilson does not want to separate Vienna from Berlin. He does not desire that and knows that it is impossible.
