Washington. July l9.-The text Of
the peace program, declaring against
a war OF conquest. which has been
formulated by a majority OF the Ger
man Reichstag for immediate consid-
Grafton by that body, was received in
Washington. The declaration follows:
"On Aug. IA, 1914, the following
words were spoken from the throne:
We are impelled by NO thoughts OF
conquest
"On this platform the German peo-
pie stand today as they did when
the words were spoken. Germany has
taken up arms only In the defense OF
her liberty ad independence and for
the protection of her territorial pos
sessions.
The Reichstag aspires to a peace
by negotiations and a perpetual rec
onciliation among nations. With a
peace such as this, all annexation by
financial measures undertaken by vio-
lence are incompatible.
THE Reichstag disapproves all
plans which lead to empty isolation
and enmity among the peoples after
the war. The freedom OF the seas
must be secured Only an industrial
peace will pave the way for a friendly
intercourse among nations.
However. SO long as the enemy's
government refuse peace on this
basis, so long as they threaten Ger
many and her allies with conquest
and force of arms, just so long will
the German people stand together as
one man fighting and persevering
steadfastly until her own and her al
lies right to live and develop shall be
assured.
in its unity the German people
stand unconquerable. The Reichstag
feels itself to be one with the men
who in battle have SO heroically
guarded the fronts. The imperishable
thanks of the entire people is their
portion"
