BERLIN. April 5.-Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg protested vigorous ly in the Reichstag today against the report that Germany now or in the future contemplated aggression against the United States.
 In his speech, which was the most comDrehensive he has made since the war began, the chancellor said:
 ''The latest offspring of the culmin- ating campaign directed against us is @ report that we. after the end of this war, shall rush against the Amer ican continent and that we shall at tempt to conquer Canada.
 This is the silliest of all the i'm putations invented against us. Equal ly silly are the reports that we con template the acquisition of any terri tory on American soil as in Brazil or in any American country whatsoever.

The peace which shall end this war shall be a lasting peace. It must not bear the germ of new wars. but must provide for all a peaceful arrangement of European questions.
 The chancellor declared that Eng land wished an end of the war after peace. but wanted that to continue the commercial war with Germany.
 First the British endeavor to de- stroy our military and then our econ omic policy. Everywhere there is brutal lust of destruction and annihi- lation and impious will. in an un- bounded lust of domination. to cripple a nation of 70,O00,000 people.
