ALLIED PEACE AIMS

The Prime Minister [1] read cablegram No. B.214 of 1st February
from the High Commissioner on the desirability of a joint
declaration of Anglo-French peace aims and the importance of the
Dominions urging the convening of Empire consultations, with a
view to early discussions with the French. [2]

The matter was discussed by War Cabinet, but the views of the High
Commissioner as to the nature of the Empire's peace aims and the
proposed course of action did not meet with general agreement.
