In his address Chancellor Hollweg made
response to the Socialist Interpolation,
as the imperial chancellor ready TO give
information as TO the conditions under
which he would be willing to enter peace
negotiations ?" In his reply the chancel-
Tor, with impassioned force, stated his
position. His remarks were eheered with
great enthusiasm.
The chancellor began his address by
saying: "In the countries at war with
Germany there has been much discussion
OF the Socialist Interpolation and the
knowledge that peace was TO be dis
cussed in the Reichstag has been the
source of satisfaction in these countries
This is inc0mprehensible in view of the
success won in the campaign against Ser
bia, which opened the road to Germanys
Turkish allies and threatened the most
vulnerable points OF the British empire.
Although this situation would explain
desire for peace on the part Of the en-
emies. none had made overtures"
Speaking Of the guarantees OF the po-
sition o. Germany in the future, the
chancellor said;
'We do not fight in order to subiugate
other nations. We fight for protection
OF our life and liberty. For the German
government the war always has been
what was the beginning Of the war Of
defense for the German nation and her
future
