Minor Nations Are Teuton Wards
The Chancellor amid profound silence
and the deep attention of the whole
house, then turned to the problem of
Poland and that of the other smaller
nationalities In general. He said:
F'Neither Germany nor Austria. Hun
gary intend to touch the Polish qties-
tion, but the fate Of battles has done

before the world and waits solution.

""Mr. Asquith also mentions the
principle of nationalities. If he puts
himself in the position of this uncon,

Russia the nations between the Baltic
and the Volhynian swamps, who were
freed by her own hand and that of
her alliesf No matter whether they
are Poles or Lithuanians or Balts or
Livonians!p
Belgium Must Have Freedom
The Chancellor then stated the
lines of conduct in the case of Bel
GUM. He said:
"a !" We must create real guarantee
that Belgium never shall be q Franco
English vassal, never shall be used as
q, military and economic fertilization
against Germany. Also in this re-
spect things cannot be what they were
before. Also, here Germany cannot sa-
crifce the suppressed Flemish race, but
must assure for them the sound evolu-

natural gifts, which evolution is based
on their mother tongue and follows
their national character.
1--WE want Deighbors that do not
form coalitions against us, but with
whom we collaborate and who collab-
crate with us to our mutual advan-
tage. 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 it in the mutual interest. 1"
The Chancellor then outlined what
Germany wishes Europe to be in the
future. He said:
owe shall adapt that which will
arise from this crisis, the severest of
all 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 destroyed can but
slowly be replaced, but howsOever
this Europe may be, it must be for
the nations that inhabit it a land of
peaceful existence, The peace which
shall finish this war shalt be lasting
peace. 1t must not, be the gem of
new wars but of all peaceful arrange
ments of European questions. ="
Attitude Of Great Britain
The Chancellor then pointed out
that Britain wishes an end of war
after peace, but that she then wants
to continue the, commercial war with
double violence. as
"First,'' he said, "they endeavor to
destroy our military and then our eco
monte policy. Everywhere there is
brutal destruction and humiliation
and impious will, in unbounded. lust Of
domination to cripple q nation of 10,
100000 people rs to colonial questions.
The Chancellor quoted Bismark 5 word
that "the fate of colonies is de-
eided on the continent" The ehancel-
lor further pointed out that Ger
