DR.. DERNBERG'S LETTER.

DR.. Dernberg's Letter to the mass
meeting In Portland makes interest
ing reading. but on analysis it is
difficult to discover lust exactly what
the former coionia. secretary of
Germany is driving at.
His most notable utterarce--in
view of the fact that he says he
speaks with authority--is that Ger
many might be willing even now to
abandon Belgium ic satisfactory
commercial arrangements with the
little kingdom could be made as
part of the price. He says Germany
would be willing. to make this con-
cession even though Belgium is "a
natural foreland of the empire"
The fact that the German press re-
fers to the conquered but undaurted
kingdom as the, Belgian Crown
land" is not mentioned.
DR.. Dernberg holds that through
Belgium is Germany's natural outlet
to the open sea and that therefore
she cannot be expected to give it
up entirely. This is somewhat mysti-
flying. 1t is pity DR.. Dernberg did
not indicate what particular part of
Germany he had in mind. 1t could,
however, only be that strip about
the size Of postage stamp along the
Belgian frontier. For the remainder
of the empire the mouths Of the
Elbe, the Weser, and the Rhine are
the natural outlets to the open sea.
1t is plain that Germany should
make this proposed arrangement
with Holland, not Belgium. 1t is the
Rhine mouth, not the Scheldt
mouth, that DR.. Dernberg has in
mind.
The letter states further that Ger
many would be satisfied if the seas
and the narrows of the seas were
made perpetually neutral by agree
ment and open to ships Of all ma
tions in peace and war. If, as is
implied, Germany went to war for
this principle it was most amazing
proceeding. Tie seas and the nar-
rows of the seas are and from LIMO
imm amorial nave tenH open to al
ships of commerce in time of peace
AS for times Of war, we doubt if the
naturalization Of these waters wou!C
mean much. Our reflections on tee
fate of Belgium have led US to doubt
the compelling sanctity of such
agreements.
"a permanent peace" conclude!
DR.. nernberg,. "wil( mean that Ger
man activity must get wide scope
without Infringement on the right!
of others"
Here is another puzzle. This il
exactly what Germany had befor,
the war. Take the Statesman
Year Book and run hastily through
the statistics and you find that Ger
many's activities" could not hav'
been much restricted in scope.
To put the matter plainly, it i
dishonest argument from beginning
to end. DR.. DerAberg knows that eh
