DR. Bernhard Dernburg, eX-Colonia
Secretary of Germany, in which he
proposed as a basis of peace salts

tion of the seas, in times of war as

discuss terms upon which the con
fict in Europe might be brought to
a termination.
In this letter. read at a mass meet
ing in Portland, Ne, Saturday night
and given wide circulation through
the press. DR.. Dernburg advanced
ideas which in the main amounted
to these proposals:
/. The freedom o. naturalization of
the high seas in time Of war.
2. An open door policy regarding
colonies under which German trade
with the colonies o. other empires,
notably the British, would not be
hampered by the preferential tariffs
now accorded the mother country.
8. Failing the grant Of demands l
and and the smoothing of the Ger
man paths of commerce through Bel
gium without British interference,
Germanys retention OF Belgium as
a natural foreland and commercial
doorway to the western seas.
T. The safety, which would seem
to mean now the return to Germany
of German Colonies, in to which Ger
many could pour her increasing popu
lation
D. A free hand for German activity
along lines already tapped in Asia
Minor and Africa.
In his argument DR.. i'ernburg as
serted that the advantages acrning
to Germany from permanently re-
tanning the land which it had taken
in Europe could be disregarded if all
the other German demands, especial
ly guaranteed free sea, were fully
complied with in making peace and
"the natural commercial relations of
Belgium and Germany were consider
ed in a just and workable form"

Too Late to Arbitrate Now, Chicago
Employers Say


Chicago, April 1S-Officers of the
Carpenters Contractors Association
today rejected an offer of the Car.
penters' Union officials to send to ar
bitration the strike for an increase
in wages. The contractors said they
had tried to arbitrate the question of
wages for the last six months. ana
that the strike had been called by
the union officials without even sub
hitting the employers final proposal
to the workmen They said that the
employers were as we'll able to fight
the wage question out with the un-
ions now as they would be later.
The employers proposal which the
union officials rejected, provided for
wage increase of 1-2 cents an
hour. The men are striking for an
increase of from 65 cents to rs cents
an hour More than 10000 men are
on strike, union men assert, and
there are 1,l00 sheet-metal workers
locked out because of their failure to
sign the joint agreement under which
the building trades operate.
