Lansdowne Letter
The "Lansdowne Letter" was named after a letter published by Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, 5th Marquess of Lansdowne which called for Britain to negotiate a peace with Imperial Germany during the Great War.
==Background==
In November 1916 Lansdowne circulated a paper to the Cabinet, in which he argued that the war would destroy civilisation and that therefore peace should be negotiated on the basis of the ''status quo ante bellum''.〔A. J. P. Taylor, ''English History 1914 - 1945'' (Oxford, 1990), p. 65.〕 Lansdowne's proposal received a hostile response from other Unionists in the Cabinet like Arthur Balfour and Robert Cecil.〔Taylor, p. 65.〕
Lansdowne invited the editor of ''The Times'', Geoffrey Dawson, to his house and showed him the letter he wanted to publish. Dawson was "appalled" and decided that publication would not be in the national interest. Lansdowne also showed the text to the Foreign Office who did not veto it. He then offered the letter to ''The Daily Telegraph'', which accepted it.
