admit that things will ever become

after the war there must be a
new Belgium. Tho former Poland
has been left by the Russian police
against the so-calIed TshinoWnik, who,
when the retreat was on, still black
mailed the population and even by the
burning and Iooting by cossacks. Even
the members Of the Duma frankly adj
rnitted that Tshinownik cannot return
TO the place where Germans, Aus.
trians and Poles have honestly labor
ed In. the interest Of this unfortunate
band.
"Mr. Asquith also mentions the
principle Of nationslities.- " he puts
himself in the position Of this uncon-
quered and upconquerable adversary,
can he really suppose that Germany
ever shall on her own free will de-
liver into the hands Of reactionary
Russia the nations between the Baltic
and the Nolhynian. swamps, who were
freed by her own hand and that Of
her aIiies7 No matter whether they
are Poles or lithuanians or BaIts or
LIvonians!" .
THE CASE OF BELGIUM
The Chancellor then stated the
lines Of conduct in the case Of Bel
GUM. He said:
"We must create real guarantee
that Belgium never shall be a Franco
Ennli0h ~
20 q military and economic fortified
ton against Germany. Also In this
respect things cannot be what they
were before. Also, here Germany can
not sacrifice the suppressed Flemish
race, but must assure for them the
sound evolution which corresponds to
their rich natural gifts, which evolu-
ton 10 based on their mother tongue
and follows their national character.
I'VE want nelehbors that do not
form coalitions against us, but with
whom we colIaborate and who collab.
orate with us 20 our mutual advan-
tase. The remembrance of war shah
stIil echo In sadIy-tried Belgium, but
we st5siI never allow that this shall
be new source Of wars. We shall
not allow u In the mutual interest"
GERMANN'S PLAN FOR EUROPE
The Chancellor then outlined what
Germany Wishes Europe 10 be In the
future. He said:
AWe shall adapt that which. will
arise from this crists, the seyerest Of
al In history. This new Europe IN
many respects cannot resemhic yhe
past. The blood which has been shed
will never be repaid, and the wealth
which has been destroyed can but
slowly Be replaced but howsoeyer
this Europe may be, u must be for
the nations that iphabit II land Of
peaceful existence. The peace which
shall finish this war shall be lasting
peace. Il must not be the germ Of
new wars but Of all peaceful arrange
nsnts Of European questions."
The Chancellor then pointed out
that England wishes an end Of war
after peace but that she then wants
20 eontinue the eoHmcrciaI war with
double Violence.
"Fifst,r he said, they endeavor TO

powerful with the governments Of eur
enemies, In spite Of all defeats. This
u still the object and aim Of the war,

merit that Germany in this war had
only one aim. that 10 20 defend her
