GUS belligerent countries. Branting
was asked when he thought peace

az the present German rulers are gov

Would you like the kaiser to abdi-
cate" asked the correspondent.
Undoubtedly that would help on
peace. Branting replied. 1T is my i'm
preston that complete change Of sys-
tenn in Germany would mean the greatest
opposition to peace founded on the old
syszem which has always demanded e1-
pansian and new possibilities. while not
granting to other states the same rights.
The old system has not yet made plain
declaration about the fate Of Belgium,
but really II wants to limit the freedom
Of Belgium. believing that German inter-
ests demand such limitation"
Branting added, peace will follow the
line of least resistance. and a complete
change OF system in Germany will surely
be the line Of least resistance"
