after the war there must be a

when the retreat was on, still black

THE CASE OF BELGIUM
The Chancellor then stated the
lines Of conduct In the case Of Bel
GUM. He said:
I'VE must create real guarantee
that Belgium never shall be a Franco
English vassaI, never shall be used
as 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 evoIu-
tion Il based on their mother tongue
and follows their national character.
I'VE want peiohbors that do not
form coalitions against Us, but with
whom we coiIaborate and who collab-
crate with Us 70 our mutual advan-
faoe. The remembrance Of war shall
still echo In sadly-tried Belgium, but
we shall never allow that this shall
be new source Of wars. We shall
) not allow X IN the mutual interest"
Z GERMANYss PLAN FOR EUROPE
The Chancellor then outlined what
Germany wishes Europe to be in the
future. He said:
I'VE shall adapt that which will
arise from this crisis, the severest Of
al In history. This new Europe in
many respects cannot resemble the
past. The blood which has been shed
will never be repaid, and the wealth
which has been destreyed can but
slowly be replaced, but howsoever
this Europe may be, il must be for
the nations that inhsbit IL land Of
peaceful existence. The peace which,
shall finish this war shat be LASTING
peace II must not be the germ OF
new wars but Of ail peaceful arrange

The Chancellor then pointed out
that England Wishes an end Of war
after peace, but that she then wants
70 continue the commercial war with
double violence.

lust Of revenge, and Jealousy Of Ger

powerful with the governments Of our
