not be forced to make peace" George
Goethein, Progressive member of the
Reichstag, at a meeting of the central
committee of his party, according to
a Berlin dispatch.
I'VE cannot force America to pay q
war indemnity" he continued. There
remains only England. But should we,
in order to obtain an indemnity OF
10000, 600, 900 marks, sacrifice 50,OOO,-
100000 marks and another half mil
lion men,"
Germany's allies, Herr Goethein con.
tinued, were not inclined to continue
the wal for pan-German plans Of con-
quest, but were striving for peace by
understanding and Cancellation, while
the pan German clamor for annexation
was finding a bad reception among
them. He asserted that the long work.
ing hours and insufficient feeding at
home increased the desire for peace
among the workers and that strikes
might be expected II tie war should
be continued for aims of conquest.
Goethein said furtAer that although
the military situation was satisfactory,
there was no hope of crushing Ger
many's enemies on land. AS for the
submarine campaign. 100000 tons of
shipping had been sunk, he asserted,
but no disposition toward peace on the
part Of England was discernible. A
%rationing system for foodstuffs had
not been even introduced, and no one
was able to say when the U-boat
would make England more inclined for
peace.
External pressure to force the Ger
man government to set forth its war
aims clearly having failed on the sur.
face, internal conditions within the
empire threaten to compel the issu.
ance of a full statement of Germany's
aims. What the German leaders want,
il they are successful, will be dis.
cussed in the Reichstag. The chan
cellor, DR.. Michaelis, is finding the
way as difficult as it was for his pre-.
decessor, Won Bethmann-Hollweg, and
he must now face the critics of the
government in the R%eichstag.
