Berlin Niq Amsterdam and Lon
dom, Feb. 2S.-When Chancellor Won
Bethmann- HOllWcg had concluded his
address in the rcichstag, Dr. Peter
SPAIN, leader of the centre party
said.
"Our confluence in submarine war
fare is firm as it represents the car
liest possible termination of the war.
THE German nation will continue
in the future as in the past, TO rest
on the present monarchical basis and
will adhere to the present Constitu-
tion. The governments action in the
matter of peace proposals has our en-
tire support.
"It is misleading for anybody to
talk about our giving up our plans
to all indemnity on the principle that
everybody has to bear his own bur
den. This standpoint is not shared
by the chancellor. (This remark was
greeted with applausc)
"All damage and loss of property
must be borne by the originators of
the war"
Must Have Big Indemnity.
Count Won Westarp, the conserva-
tive leader, outlined his party's ideas
of peace terms, saying:
New sacrifices require new de-
nands. new compensations. Suffici-
ent war indemnity must be collected
to arm us against dangers of the flu
ture and TO provide for resumption of
economic competition. We must re-
tain territory of economic value con-
quered with our blood. COurland
and Livona (Russia) offer Ground for
colopZiation and Il German population
there will protect our interests on the
Baltic. At Briey and LOngwy north-
ern France) We can find useful coal
and iron. The harbors at Antwerp we
cannot do without and with this in
our hands the individuality Of. the
Flemish population ca nalsO be pro-
tected.
"The military safety of our from
tiers must be attained, even if mill
tary and economic objections thereto
exist
"As in the east, our flank must be
protected The high defensive and
offensive value of the Flemish coast is
obvious in strengthening our position
against England. Germany must be
invincible."
Insult TO Germany.
Count Won Westarp continued
a blow in the face of the German
people. The entente declined, in its
declaration to President Wilson, to be
compared with us as human beings.
The German people cannot stand such
an Insult to the honor of the kaiser
and his people. We are now employ
ing our last fighting weapon with
which England's s. vital spot will be di-
rectly hit.
I'm view of the recognition of the
fact that England can reckon on the
support Of the American people, the
German people stand united and de-
termncd behind the kaiser, even
those who until now have raised OBJ
jections against unrestricted war
''Our decision on unrestricted sub
marine warfare is immutable. The
whole world must be in no doubt

declared that the submarine warfare
must be supported by the entire ma
