Ouuages Versus Guarantees

Are those outrages the legitimate in
terest of Germany? We must know. That
is not movement for peace. If excuses OF
this kind for palpable crimes can be put
forward two and one-half years after ex-
posure by the grim facts, is there any
guarantee that similar subterfuges will
not be used in the future to overthrow any
treaty of peace you may enter into with
Prussian militarism?
The note and speech prove that they
have not yet learned the alphabet OF re-
spect for the rights of others.
Without reparation peace is impossible.
Are all these outrages against humanity
or land and sea to be liauidated by Q few
pious phrases about humanity? Germany
leaves US to exact the damage for all
future violence committed after the war.
We must exact it now, so as not TO leave
such grim inheritance to our children.

Military Despots Not New

This country is not altogether without
experience in these matters. This is not
the first time we have fought great mill
tarv despotism overshadowing Europe,
and it won't be the first time we have
helped to overthrow a military despotsm.
We have an uncomfortable historical
memory of these things, and can recall
one of the greatest of these despots, whose
favorite device was TO appear IN the garb
of an angel of peace, either when ne
wished time 10 asslmilate his conquests or
IN reorganize his forces for fresh con-
quests: or, secondly, when his subjects
showed symptoms of fatigue and war
WEAKNESS, an appeal was always made IN
the name of humanity. lie demanded an
end TO the bloodshed at which he pro-
fessed himself Mortified, although he HIM
self was mainly responsible
Our ancestors were taken in once, and
bitterly they and Europe rue 1t. The
time was devoted to recognizing his
forces for a deadlier attack than ever
upon the liberties Of Europe. Examples
of this kind cause us to regard this note
with a considerable measure of remlnis
cent disquietude.
We feel that we ought TO know, before
we can give favorable consideration TO
such an invitation, that Germany is pre-
pared TO accede to the only terms on which
Il is possible peace can be obtained and
maintained in Europe Those terms have
been repeatedly stated by all the leading
statesmen of the Allies. They have been
stated repeatedly here and outside. To
oitote the leader of the House last week:
"Reparation and guarantee against repee-
tition. so there shall be no mistake, and 1t
is important that there should be no mis-
take in matter Of life or death TO mill

trated at the first profitable opportunity?
The very substance and style of the
speech constitute denial of peace on the
only terms on which peace is possible. He
IS not even conscious now that Germany
has committed any offence against the
rights Of free nations. Listen to this from
the note:
Not for an instant have they (the Cen
tral Powers) swerved from the conviction
that respect of the rights Of other nations
is not in any degree Incompatible with
their own rights and legitimate interests"
When did they discover this? Where
was respect for the rights of other ma
tons in Belgium and Serbia?
That was self-defence, menaced, sup
pose, by the overwhelming armies of Bel
gium. suppose the Germans had been
inundated into invading Belgium and
burning Belgian cities and villages, into
massacring thousands OF the inhabitants,
old and young, into carrying off the sur
vivors into bondage. Yes, and they were
carrying them into slavery at the very
moment when this note was being writ
ten about their answering conviction as
to the respect due to the rights of other

London, Dec. I9.-Premicr Lloyd George,
~ the House Of Commons to-day, said:
] appear before the House of Commons
to-day with the most terrible responsible
ity that can fall upon the shoulders of
any living man as chief adviser OF the
Crown, in the most gigantic war in which
this country was ever engaged-a war
upon the events of which its destiny de-
pends. 1t is the greatest war ever waged.
The burdens are the heaviest that have
been cast upon this or any other country
and the issues the gravest that have been
attached to any conflict in which human
ity was ever involved.
The responsibilities Of the new govern
ment have been suddenly accentuated by
the declaration made by the German
Chancellor. The statement made by him
in the Reichstag has been followed by
note presented by the United States with
out note or comment. The answer given
by this government will be given in full
accord with our Allies.
Naturally. there has been an interchange
has only recently arrived-but upon the
speech which inrpelled it, and as the note
itself is practically only reproduction or
a paraphrase Of the speech, the subject of
the note itself has been discussed informal
" between the Allies. ] am glad to be able
to state that we each, separately and in
dependently, arrived at identical conclu-
sons.
France and Russia First
am very glad that the first answer
given to the statement of the German
Chancellor was given by France and Rus
sia They have the unquestionable right
70 give the first answer to such an invita-
ton The enemy is still on their soil and
their sacrifices have been the greater.
The answer they have given has already
appeared in the papers, and | simply stand
here to give clear aid definite support TO
the statement they have already made.
ANY man or set of men who wantonly
or without sufficient cause, prolonged ter
rible conflict like this would have on his
soul crime that oceans could not cleanse.
On tts other hand, it is equally true
tn: t any man or set Of men, who, from a
sense of WEAKNESS or despair, abandoned
the struggle without achieving the high
purposes for which we entered it, would be
guilty of the costlest act of poltroonery
ever perpetrated by any statesman.
should like to quote the words Of Abraham
Lincoln under similar conditions:
eve accepted this war for an object, and
a world object, and the war will end when
the object is attained under God. | hope
it will never end until that time"
Are we likely 10 achieve the object by
accepting the invitation of the German
Chancellor? What are the proposals?
There are none.
To enter on the invitation of Germany,
proclaiming herself victorious, without
any knowledge of what proposals she pro-
poses to make into a conference is to put
cur heads into a moose with the rope end
in the hands of Germany.

REFUSE TO PUT HEAD IN CERMANYS MOOSE
"There were proposals for peace read Lloyd George

have no knowledge would be to put heads INTO noose
with the ends of the rope in the hands of Germany
Loud cheers greeted this showing clearly the feel
ing of the majority of his hearers.
But moment later Lloyd George said that the Allies
should know what Germany prepared to concede before
entering upon negotiations and every interpreted this re-
mark as direct invitation Bethmann oweg to make an
other statement
Nothing the Premier said showed final objection to
peace negotiations.
No passage in his address attracted attention. and
none will read with closer interest in Germany than his
reference to Prussan mlarism. Mr. Asquth, Premier
reiterated time and again that mitarsm must be crushed
Premier Lloyd George modified this to this extent that he

offer other than those, better than those,
surer that those which she so lightly
broke, and meanwhile we shall put our
trust in our unbroken army, rather than
in broken faith.
For the moment do not think II would
be advisable for me to add anything upon
this particular invitation. A formal reply
will be delivered by the Allies in the course
of the next few days.
