WASHINGTON. January 3l.-The
official text of the German note nd
dressed to Secretary Lansing. and
signed by Count Won Bernstorff. the
German ambassador. is as follows:
MIR. Secretary OF State.-Your
EXcellcncy was good enough to
transmit TO the imperial government
copy of the message which the
President of the United States of
America addressed to the Senate ON
the 22nd instant. The imperial gov
ernment has given it the earnest
consideration which the Pre- 5idcnt's
statements deserve. inspired as they
are. by a deep sentiment of respon-
sibility. 1t is highly gratifying to
the imperial government to aSccr-
tain that tho main tendencies Of
this important statement correspond
largely to the desires and principles
professcd by Germany These prin-
ciplcs especially include self govern
nations. Germany would be sin
cercly glad ii, in recognition OF this
principle. countries like ireland and
India. which do not enjoy the bene-
fits of political Independence, should
now obtain their freedom. The Ger
man people also rcpudiu,e all al
liances which serve To force the
countries into competition for
m 81 n
of selfish intrigues. ON the other
hand, Germany will gladly CO.
operate in all efforts to prevent
future wars.
FREEDOM OF THE SEAS
PRF;LIMINAIti CONDITION
The freedom of the seas being
preliminary condition Of the free
existence OF nations and the peace
ful intercourse between them, as
we'll as the open door for the COM
mcrce of all nations. has always
formed part Of the leading prin-
ciples of Germany's political pro-
gram All the more the imperial
government regrets that the attitude
Of her enemies. who are so entirely
opposed to peace, makes IL impos-
sible FOR the world at present L.
bring about the realization of these
lofty ideals. Germany and her
allies were ready to enter now
into discussion of peace, and had
set down as basis the guaranty of
existence. honor and free develop
ment of their peoples. Their aims
as has been expressly stated in the
note OF December IL, 1916. were not
directed towards the destruction or
annihilntion of their enemies and
were, according to their conviction
perfectly compatible with the rights
Of the other nations. AS TO Bel
GUM. for which such warm and cor
dial sympathy is felt in the United
states, the Chancellor had declared
only few weeks previously that
its annexation had never formed
part of Germany's Intentions. The
peace to lie signed with Belgium
was 10 provide for such conditions
IN that country, with which Ger
many desires to maintain friendly
and neiGhborly relations, that Bel
gium should not be used again by
Germuny's enemies for the purpose
OF inStigating continuous hostile
intrigu-s. Such precautionary meas
urcs are all the more necessary, as
Germany's enemies have repeatedly
stated. not only in speeches de-
livcred by their leading men, but
also in the statutes of the ecoEomi-
cal conference in Paris. that it is
their intention not TO treat Ger
many as an equal. even after peace
has been restored, but TO continue
their hostile attitude and especially
to wage Il SNStcmatical economical
war against her.
