"Those in Paris who are saying France does not want to fight are not helping the cause of peace. I say that now, and I will say it again in the Chamber when I return. The Government is prepared to accept responsibilities in that direction. We are in an epoch when peace must be based on respect for treaties. Wherever a treaty is violated, the edifice of peace crumbles. Bearing that in mind, we can talk peace first after a frank understanding with Spain relative to sovereignty of the Sultan and second, after evacuation by Abdel-Krim of the territories under French protection."
