An offer is a revocable and unaccepted communication of willingness to promise. When an offer of a certain bilateral contract has been made, the same contract cannot be offered by the other side. The so-called offer would neither be revocable nor unaccepted. It would complete the contract as soon as made.
The comments on this of the German Financial Commission at Versailles were hardly an exaggeration: "German democracy is thus annihilated at the very moment when the German people was about to build it up after a severe struggle annihilated by the very persons who throughout the war never tired of maintaining that they sought to bring democracy to us.... Germany is no longer a people and a State, but becomes a mere trade concern placed by its creditors in the hands of a receiver, without its being granted so much as the opportunity to prove its willingness to meet its obligations of its own accord.
Seeking to testify confidence in the willingness and ability of the Imperial administration to redress the wrongs and prevent the evils we suffered and feared, the marine guard, which had been sent to Peking in the autumn of 1899 for the protection of the legation, was withdrawn at the earliest practicable moment, and all pending questions were remitted, as far as we were concerned, to the ordinary resorts of diplomatic intercourse.
It does not follow, however, that this is the limit of the remedy that may be applied.

He liked the broad laugh when he deigned to open books of that sort; puns and strong flavours and harlequin surprises; and her work would not admit of them, however great her willingness to force her hand for his amusement: consequently her inventiveness deadened. She had to cease whipping it.
Just previous to this, the Japanese government had expressed its willingness to open an additional port on the western coast to foreign trade, and Commodore Goldsborough, in command of the "Shenandoah," visited and made surveys of several harbors in which no foreign ship had ever before anchored.
In all this, in fact, there is so little improbability, that we find it impossible to suppose it could be otherwise. We find it impossible to believe, that such a mental process could go on without the knowledge of him whose presence is in every place, or that, looking upon it, he should want either the power or the willingness to impart his effectual aid.
Must we lose even a hundred years in shaking ourselves free from the paralysis of the German nightmare? The Germans have shown themselves strong in their unity, and strong in their willingness to make great sacrifices to preserve that unity. No one can deny nobility to the sacrifice made by the simple-minded German soldier who dies fighting bravely for his people and his creed.
He had first made the proposition to his friend, who had listened to it kindly, but who, the Sergeant was now pleased to find, already betrayed a willingness to come into his own views that was proportioned to the doubts and misgivings proceeding from his humble distrust of himself. Think not I love him, though I ask for him; 'Tis but a peevish boy: yet he talks well But what care I for words?
Would you like to go?" Robin's eyes blazed, and he could scarcely find breath or words to express his willingness if his father did not object. "Go home at once, then, and ask leave, for the Great Eastern is almost ready for sea, and you have to hasten your preparations." Robin stroked no more t's and dotted no more i's that day.
