"Reparation Is Essence
of Justice" Clemcnccau
Paris, June 17. Georges Clem
enceau, president of the Peace Con
ference, in his reply to the German
counter-proposals, says:
"Justice, therefore, is the only
possible basis for the settlement of
the accounts of this terrible war.
Justice is what the German delega
tion aks for nnd says that Ger
many has been promised. But it
must be justice for all. There must
be justice for the dead nnd for the

"That is why the nil led nnd asso

"It is said thai the German revolu

that the German neonle nre not rnnnm
slblc for the policy of the rulers whom
they liavo thrown from power. The
Allied nnd associated powers recognize
and welcome the change. It represents
a great hope for peace and a new Eu
ropean order in the future.
People Supported War
"Hut it caivnot nffect the settlement
of ho war itself. The German revo
lution was stnyed until the German
armies luid been defeated in the field
and nil hope of profiting by a war
of conquest bad vanished. Throughout
the war, as before the war, the (jcrmau
people nnd their representatives sup
ported the war, voted credits, subscribe
to the war loans, obeyed every order,
however savage, of their got eminent.
They shnred the responsibility for the
policy of the government, for at any
niemont, had they willed it, they could
haw rovc-sed it. Had that policy suc
ceeded they would have acclaimed it
w'lth thu Mime enthusiasm with which
they welcomed the outbreak of the war.
They cannot now pretend, having
changed their rulers after the war was
lost, tlml it Is justice that they should
escape the i onseciuouees of their deeds
"The Allied and associated powers
therefore believe that the peace they
have proposed is fundamentally a pence
of justice. They nre no less certain
that it is n peace of right on the terms
agreed. There lan be no doubt as to
the intentions of tnc Allied and as
sociated powers to base the settlement
of Europe on the principle of freeing
oppressed peoples and redrawing na

M. Clemen,ceau takes up various ter
ritorial settlements. Including the Ger
man colonies, which he says the Allied
powers nre satisfied are strongly op
posed to being again brought Under Ger
many's svvny. The Allied powers,
therefore, are not prepared to modify
their territorial proposals, except in
certain respects laid down.
With regard to the economic nnd
financial clauses, M. Clemcnceau says:
"There is no intention on the part of
the Allied nnd associated nmvr.ro i
strangle Germony or to prevent her from.
inning ner proper pince in international
trade nnd commerce. Provided that she
abides by the treaty of peace and pro
vided also that she abandons those ag
gressive nnd exclusive traditions which
have been nppnrent in her business, no
less than in her political methods, the
Allied and associated powers intend
that Gcimany shall liavo fair treatment
in the purchase of raw materials and the
sale of goods, subject to those temporary
provisions already mentioned in the in
teiests of the nations ravaged and arti
ficially weakened by Germany's actions.
It is their desire that the passions en
gendered bvtho war should die as soon
as possible, and that'all nations should
share in the prosperity which comes
from the honest supply of mutual needs.
In order to make thelr intention clear
n number of modifications have been
made in the financial nnd economic
clauses of the treaty, but the principles
upon which the treaty is drawn must
stnnd."
No Herniations Changes
With regard to reparation proposals,
M. Clemenceau says vvh,ilc the Allied
powers are not prepared tojnodlfy them,
they recognize thnt, with the German
delegation, the advantage of arriving
ns soon as possible nt the fixed nnd
definite sum which shall be payable by
Germany. They are willing to accord
to Germany all necessaiy and reason
able facilities to ennble her to survey
the devastated and damaged regions and
to make proposals thereafter, within
four months of the signing of the treaty,
for a settlement of the claims.
The Allied and associated powers hnve
ghen careful consideration to the request '
of the German delegation that Germany!
be admitted to the league of nations as
one of the conditions of peace, but that
the Allies are unable to accedo to this
request. It adds thnt the German revo
lution was postponed to the last mo
ment of the war. and that there is no
guarantee that it represents n perma
nent change, nnd that it is impossible
in the present temper of international
feeling "to expect the free nations of
the world to sit down immediately in
equal association with those by whom
they have been so grievously wronged."
It is added that the Allied and as
sociated powers believe if the German
people prove that they intend to ful
fill the conditions of the peace, and
that they have abandoned forever those
aggressive and e'trnuging policies which
caused the war "and have now become
a people with whom it is possible to
live in neighborly good fellowship, the
memories of these past years will
speedily fade, and it will be possible
nt an enrlj date to lompletc the league
of nntions by the admission of Ger
many thereto."
Blockade Legal
M Clemenceau refers to the denun
bv Germany of the blockade of the
Allies. It declares that the blockade
alwa.vs has been a legal and recognized
method of war. It. adds that if the
Allies imposed a blockade of exceptional
severity on Germany it was "because
of the criminal character of the war,
initiated by Germany and of the bar
barous methods adopted by her in
prosecuting it."
"In conclusion, the Allied and asso
ciated povveis must make it clea,r that
this letter and the memorandum at
tached constitute their last word. They
have examined German observations and
counter-proposals with earnest atten
tion and care They have, in conse
quence, made important modifications
in the draft tienty, but in its principle
they stand bv it.
"They believe that it is not only a
just settlement of the great war, but
that it provides the basis upon which
the peoples of Europe can live together
in friendship and equality."
The clause adds that the treaty creates
the maehinerj for the peaceful adjust
ment of all international problems by
discussion nnd consent and represents
a sincere and deliberate attempt to es
tablish "that reign of law, based upon
the consent of the governed, nnd sus
tained' by organized opinion of man
kind," which was the agreed basis of
peace.
It is added that the treaty in its
present form must he accepted or re
jected. "The Allied and associated powers,"
it continues, "therefore require a dec
laration from the German delegation

1919 Legislature
Defended by McCain
Continued From Pare One
would meet and deliberate a day or
two, and then adjourn till the following
Mondny night. Thus th'e weeks slipped
by. The House lacked nn appreciation
of the v.alue of time. Besides, there
has been little or noeffort to make up
the time lost in the early days of the
session.
The desire among members of the
House up to the present time to get
away from Ilnrrisburg has become
acute. The magnet of getting their
local appropriation bills, through failed
to hold many of them.
The spectacle presented last Thurs
day of lack of n quorum, with sergeant-at-nrms
scurrying over the state, and
f telegraph wires burdened with messages
recalling aosent members to their duties,
was a visible culmination of the ses
sion's carelessness nnd indiffereuce. The
last five months have been distinguished
by nn amount ot dawdling, inexcusnblc
odjournment, nnd waste of time al
most unprecedented.
Many Financially on Thin Ice
Yet scores of members should be
charitably absolved for their display
ot anxiety to get away. Financially
they are skating on thjn ice. Their
salaries have been -spent and they are
losing money daily by remaining in
Harrisburg. I believe that a proposi
tic-n. to extend. the session a week be
jond the date set for adiournment.
would precipitate a riot jn the House.
There arc but eight working days
left, including Saturday. A mass of
appropriation bills must be acted upon.
In the mad rush to get through it is
misjudgment to imagine thnt intelli
gent consideration can be accorded each
one. The outcome is obvious to any
one familiar with Legislature pro
cedure. The appropriation bills will be rushed
through, the House will adjourn and
to Governor Sproul will be relegated
the work of cutting the appropriations
to fit available funds. From a purely
superficial view, I am not so sure that
the veA "slaughter" should now be
substituted for "cuting" in reference
to thcs? measures.
Constituents Are Feared
The present situation is pointed out
ns an impressive argument in favor
of the pending bill to increase the
salary of members from .$1500 to 52500.
The qost of living in Harrisburg dur
ing n session has more than doubled
ki recent years. There are no passes,
as in the glorious days of old. and
railroad fares are a big item in the
expense account of legislators who come
from remote, sections of the state. Many
find it cheaper to go home over the
week-end, even ,to 'considerable dis
tances, than to remain in Harrisburg.
1 am convinced that nothing but the
fear of their constituents, as was al
ways the eajje In the past, has withheld
the present House from rushing the
salary increase to a finish, which it still
is likely to do.
Within the next ten years the pres
ent session of the Legislature, In point
of length, will be regarded as a short
sitting. Qn several recent occasions
Governor Sproul has assumed the garb
of a prophet to .declare that future
biennial meetings of the Legislature
will remain in session much longer than
at present. A most careful considera
tion of the needs of the state demand
It.
There has been a great Increase in
the permanent population ot the com
monwealth. Vast industries have
sprung up like fungi over night, and
new demands for their regulation and
control must be met with adequate
enactments carefully considered. The
day of slap-dash legislation is gone
forever.

business almost before 'the people of
Pittsburgh were aware of the fact.
It is Governor Sprout's iden, based
upon observations covering a period
of more than twenty yearg, that greater
care and deliberation must be given to
the matter of lawmaking in the fu
ture. Coming Legislatures must get
down to business quicker and stick to
it longer than at any time in the past.
Sessions protracted into midsummer
are not only probable but confidently
may be anticipated. A commonwealth
so potential, with industries and in
terests so vast, shauld have lawmaking
bodies whose deliberations arc not
limited to a time schedule or a matter
of a few weeks more or less.
