 A LASTING PEACE
(continued from Page onel

ternatIonal league for the preserva ton of peace. the chancellor said:
 won Sethnann- Hollweg's Statement
 we never concealed our doubts whether peace could be guaranteed permanently by international organi- zatlons such as arbitration courts I snaIl not discuss the theoretical as- poets of the problem in this place. But from the standpoint of matters of fact we now and in peace must define our position with regard to this question. -.. Powerful Cry for Peace.7 i-s.f7 l., If at and after the end of the war the world will only become fully con Sclous Of the horrifying destruction of life and property, then through the whole of humanity there will ring out cry for peaceful arrangements and understandings which as far as within human power will avoid the return of such a monstrous catastrophe This cry Will be so powerful and so justi- he'd that it must lead to some result, r Germany Will Cooperate.
 Germany will honestly cooperate in examination of every endeavor to ind a practical solution and will col laborate for it's possible realization, This all the more if the war, as we expect and trust. shall create political conditions that do full justice to the frSe development of all nations, of small as well as great nations. Then the principle of justice and free de- velopment, not only on the continent. but also on the seas, must be made. valid. This. to be sure, Lord Grey did not mention.''
 Disagrees With Lord Grey.
 The chancellor pointed out that Lord Grey's ideas iii regard to international guarantees of peace seemed to possess peculiar character in that they took into consideration only British wants, Neutrals which during the war had to accept Tn silence British domination of the seas were to form union after the war when, England hopes, she will have conquered Germany, in order to guarantee that the British plans will prevail under the new condition. The ble authority that in 1915 Great Brit ain and France promised to Russia d1ctatorlal domination of Constantino- pie, the Bosphorus and the west shore of the Dardanelles. with the hinterland land and that Asia Minor should be These plans, he continued, probably were of interest for neutra1s, who. were expected to guarantee this order of things. The British government. he asserted, has kept silent in regard to these plans, in spite of questions ask ed in parliament.
 "Brute Force" IntoIerabIe,
 Such a policy of brute force" the chancellor added, "cannot be the basis of an efficient international league for peace.
 These are the plans for our ene- mics for annexation, to which must be added Alsace and Lorraine; while I have never designated the annexa ton of Belgium as our intention when I spoke about the aims Of the war.
 No More Aggressive Coalitions.
 "The first condition for the evo1u- ton of international relations by way of arbitration and peaceful cornprom- ise of conflicting interests, ought to be that no more aggressive coalitions be formed" the chancellor continued Germany is at all times ready to en- ter a league of peace which will re- strain the perturbator of peace.
 German Policy Not One of Conquest
 'sThe history of international rela- tions before the war stands clear be- fore the eyes of all the world What made France join with Russia? AL sace and Lorraine. What did Russia want? Constantinople. Why did Eng land join them? Because Germany had become too strong for her, by peaceful toll. And what did we want :? Lord Grey says that Germany with her first offer of Belgian and French integrity wanted to purchase from England permission to take of the French colonies whatever she pleased. Even to the most insane person in Germany it never occurred to assault France In order to rob her of her col onies It was not this which was Flu ropes doom, but the fact that the British government favored French and Russian plans of conquest, which could not be obtained without Eu- ropean war"
