mantle asserts the petition reads in
part as folIowss
The ideas expressed in the petition
issued by the six economic associatons
contain redoubtahle danger for the
conclusion Of timely, honorable peace
and for the security 0f the German
empire after peace lis signed. There
fore the Bund feels obliged 10 oppose
the demands Of the associations and
ask tbe chancellor 10 stop their activi-
ties and disavow the objects of the
war as therein set forth.
The idea of weakening England and
Russia until they become powerless or
even are anuihi1atcd is SO childish as
not to admit Of serious discussion. as
is shown clearly by the lessons Of his
tory. To fight for such an object,
which cannot be attained, is pure mad
ness. The propagation of this mad
ness is dangerous because it makes
difficult anything like lasting peace
