Although this situation would ex plain a desire for peace on the part of Germany's enemies, he declared, none of them had made overtures. Instead, they were clinging to the In tentions which they had announced j publicly "with naive brutality" at the beginning of the war. The chancellor then reviewed re cent utterances concerning conditions of peace made in countries opposed to Germany, such as the handing over of Alsace and Lorraine to France, the annihilation of "Prussian militarism." the expulsion of the Turks, cession of the left bank of the Rhine, and the creation of a greater Serbia, including Bosnia. It was true, the chancellor con tinued, there there were some per sons in the countries at war with Ger many who took a sensible position, but they were in the minority and their voices, like those of certain members of the English House of Lords, were unheard. Theories lose Force "The theories advanced by Ger many's enemies, he said, had lost their force. People had ceased speaking of a war of twenty years. The protest that the war was being waged for the protection of small nations had lost its persuasive power, in view of re cent events in Greece. "Small countries are in a serious ' plight since England has been fighting for them," he remarked. He discussed the principal of na tionality as applied by Germany's enemies. He asked whether the British colonial secretary knew that of the 1,900,000 inhabitants of Alsace more than 87 per cent, spoke German as the mother ffmgue. He asked whether Poland belonged to Russia by right of nationality, whether this principle lost its power and value if applied to India or Egypt. Germany's enemies, blinded at the beginning of the war by false stories, excited to hatred, were now able after military and diplomatic defeats, to cling only to the idea of Germany's annihila tion. Have Plenty of Food For this purpose there had been in vented the theory that Germany could be starved. On this point the chan cellor said, with particular emphasis: • "We all agree that our food supplies are sufficient, that the only important question is distribution. The economic unit stretching from Arras into Meso potamia cannot be crushed." As to copper, the chancellor de clared. Germany had immense stores, sufficient for years and ' years. He spoke of Germany's success in produc ing substitutes for certain articles, such as rubber. Referring to the discussion whether I Germany's enemies would be able to bring greatly superior forces into the field, the chancellor mentioned the fact that France already has called to the colors the Vias sof 1917. bringing into the war youths under the usual mili tary age. The chancellor referred to the charge that members of the crew of a German submarine had been shot while defenseless by the crew of the British patrol boat Baralong and said the English press had concealed the facts of this case from the nation. As lie made these remarks the whole house arose as an expression of indig nation. Speaking of the guarantees of the position of Germany in the future, to be included in the peace terms. Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg insisted that the longer the war is continued, with increasing bitterness, by Germany's enemies, the greater Is the need of such guarantees. "We do not fight In order to subju gate other nations," he said. "We fight for the protection of our life and lib erty. For the German government the war has always been what it was at the beginning—-a war of defense for the German nation and for her future. "The war can be terminated only by a peace which will give the certitude that war will not return. We all agree about that. There lies and there al ways will lie the root of our strength." Dr. Seheidemann's address was re ceived with a degree of Interest sec ond only to that aroused by the chan cellor's speech. He reminded the house that at the beginning of the war the Socialists had approved the attitude of the German government. A glance at the map, he continued, would show that Germany, conscious of her strength and her successes, could now speak of peace without run ning the risk of being considered weak-hearted or dispirited. Dr. Scheidemann protested against the attitude of those who dream of the annexation of much territory and spoke with equal earnestness in de nunciation of those enemies of Ger many who advocate dismemberment of this country. He protested also against the crusade in foreign coun tries in opposition to "Prussian mili tarism" because this conception was wrong and. furthermore, because it was a matter which concerned no one hut the Germans themselves. The French, he said, should abandon the idea of annexing Alsace and Lorraine. Although Germany had won enor mous successes with her armies, he continued, they had "been gained at the price of heavy sacrifices. In view of the present situation, the question of peace was important in all coun tries. The difficulty lay in the fact that statesmen did not know how to begin negotiations, fearing such a step would be considered a proof of weak ness. In this connection Dr. Scheidemann spoke of the statement made recently in the English house of commons by | Baron Courtney that the British gov ! ernment should sow itself ready to [accept any suggestions which would end the war. He referred to the atti tude of Italian Socialists and to the utterances of Count Andrassy, former Hungarian premier. He asserted that, according to reliable private informa tion, the longing for peace in Francs was general. Dr. Scheidemann Insisted that his remarks, like those of Baron Court ney, could not be interpreted as a sign of lessening strength, but were made in view of the fact that the war was bringing Europe to the verge of ruin. The idea that it. was possible to starve Germany, he continued, should be abandoned. According to the re cent census, there were 20,000,000 swine and 55,000,000 kilograms of po tatoes in Germany, which proved there iva's sufficient food for all. The words of Emperor William that for Germany this was no war of con quest were recalled by the speaker. Fnasmuch as Germany had defended her frontiers successfully, it waa proper to ask the chancellor for an ex pression in regard to conditions of peace. He declared that Germany insisted upon being treated as the equal of other nations and repudiated the idea that German hegemony was the end in view. The present moment, he de clared. might become an historic one, since possibly Germany might gain the glory or having been the first to dare to speak of peace.
