The concluding talk by Robert Blake, Student of Christ Church, Oxford

This series or six talks on the various attempts to end hostilities in the First World War. by negotiation, have dealt with the secret Anglo-Turkish negotiation of 1915, the frustrated attempts of Woodrow Wilson to act as world-mediator, the anachronistic Franco-Austrian negotiation undertaken by Prince Sixtus of Bourbon Parma with the last Austrian Emperor, the forlorn appeal of Lord Lansdowne in 1917 and the dictated Treaty of Brest Litovsk, the only separate negotiation which did in fact terminate hostilities in a wide area. In this last talk, the general editor of the series. Robert Blake, draws conclusions from this survey.

These talks are being printed in 'The Listener'
