UNITED STATES ALONE
Could Pay War Indem-
nifty Declares German
R adic al Reichstag
Member

Copenhagen. Oct. 80. - Friedrich
German Reichstag, revealed in a
speech delivered Saturday what he
termed the insincerity of the dogma of
peace without annexations or indemni-
ties as interpreted even by the German
Radicals
Herr Haussmann explained that the
phrase without annexations" did not
exclude practical suggestions as to the
relocation of frontiers and that while
such REIMBURSEMENT of the frontier as
far as Northern France was concern
ed was impossible there was nothing
to prevent the extension Of a zone of
security" at Belgiums expense The
control of Bel-iums coal and iron re-
sources, the speaker added, also could
be made the subject for discussion,
though this was not worth day of
war, because it could be obtained
through purchase of shares of the
stock. The speaker said German OPP
ponents must first drop tie phrase
about the establishment of Belgium
before further discussions We're pos
sible. He added that war indemnity
could be paid only by the United
States, and h defed anyone to show
how the United States could be COM
PEELED to pay.
The speech was delivered at Dantzig,
the stronghold Of the Fatherland
party. and was intended to check the
strife towards that party.
