A GERMAN-MADE PROPOSITION

The peace terms formulated by the executive commit
tee of the Wormens and Soldiers delegates OF Russia
in the form Of instructions to it's delegates to the Paris
conference consist of fifteen articles most OF winch are
not even debaabe One for instance provides Tor the
restoration of Belgium and compensation for her losses
from an international fund This is unthinkable. Ger
many overran Belgium destroyed her property ensaved
her people, ravished her women, burned ruined ana
destroyed ruhessly and without reason and now this
peace formula would have the other begerents taxed to
paw for Germanys outrages 1t cannot be considered
minute by any reasonable person or country Ihe same
arrangement is proposed for Serbia, which has been
treated even worse than Belgium and whose people are
now in the most abect misery and at the point OF starva
ton Another proposal is to return to Germany all her
colonies 1t looks very much though the Instructions
were made in Germany and forwarded to Petrograd
Under the terms suggested Germany would go scot
free for all her crimes except she would be called on to
nav her quota for the restoration of Belgium and Serbia
All peace proposals so far made have the proviso that
"heads Germany wins and tails the balance of the world
loses" When peace terms made they will not bear
the German brand and they will not permit Germany to-
be released from all responsibility for her crimes against
the world.
Germany just now is bandit cornered and ready to
make terms for surrender of which is that nol
punishment be inflicted for his crimes The world can
make no concessions until after the bandit is caught lt
will engthen the war; but it will also lengthen the peace
that will follow it. The world, all except the central
powers is ready to make peace that will be lasting one
that none of them will break to each other and must
put Germany in such condition that she too, will be bound
by its terms Anything less than this is simply taking
recess not ending the war; Russias proposal is not
worth presenting at any peace meeting.
