WORLD PEACE AIMS
INCLUDED IN MESSAGE

just sufficient for defensive purposes
or to carry out the mandates of the
world court.
1t is inconceivable, the Pope holds,
that any permanent peace can be
maintained unless the various peo-
Piles are willing to gather in an amity
founded upon recognition of ma
tional rights. Any attempt to pro-
vent free economic action between
the belligerents, the Pope points out,
would be disastrous; therefore he
says there must be freedom of the
seas in all that the term implies.
The pontiff declares that so extern
sive has been the injury to all the
belligerents that there can be no
thought now of either indemnity or
reparation.
Must Submit to Losses
In spirit of Cancellation and JUS
tice he says, all the belligerents must
submit to accept the losses they have
sustained except in the matter of
territory and besides these ques-
tions of indemnity and reparation
the Pope declares that there must be
no continuation of the war by an
economic struggle for supremacy
thereafter which would be purely
evil.
This refers directly to the social
was followed by one in Vienna where
the effort was made to bind the bel
ligerents on either side after the war
to have practically no commercial
relations with their late enemies.
On the important question of the
disposition or occupied territory and
the territorial ambitions of the belli-
gerents, the Pope, by way of preface,
admits that special cases might JUS

adjusted in conformity with princi-
pies of equity and justice. But as
a general proposition, he feels that
q proper basis for discussion would
be the restoration at once of all ter
ritory now in enemy occupation
That would involve liberation of Bel
gium, leaving not a trace of Ger
man control, political or military
The same principle of unencumber-
ed freedom in its full sense, he says
should prevail in regard to every
power and nation. Not only must
French territory now occupied by
Germany be restored to France, he
says, he on the other hand, all Ger
man colonies which have been occu-
pied by England, Portugal, Belgium
and Japan, should be returned tc
Germany.
The more difficult question OF

should he examined in a spirit oi
conciliation and fairness and that a
special consideration in the settle
ment should be given to national
aspirations. Likewise does the Pope
hold that the complex questions in
volved in readjustment of the Bal
kan states should be considered in
the same spirit of equity and justice
He has especially in mind the Bal
kans and Poland and the intimatior
conveyed is that these questions car
safely be dealt with by direct diplo-
matte exchanges between the belli-
gerents, once agreement is reached
upon the general principles oi
recognition of national aspirations
and justice.

any but the loftiest motives to Pope
Benedict in accepting at their face
value peace proposals emanating
from Vienna, but naturally the ques-
ton was at once raised as TO the
proper division of responsibility be-
tween the central powers and the
pope. 1t was pointed out that ii is
important to know whether the pro-
posals came fuil-fiedged from Vienna
or Berlin or whether the pope him
self framed them in the light of an
understanding he may have acquired
of the minimum demands of the CEN
trail powers
Not From Allies
The entente diplomats agree that
the peace proposals did not come
from any of the allied capitals. So
far as Great Britain is concerned, it
was said there had not been any in
tention of department from the out
lines disclosed in the public speeches
of Premier Lloyd-George and For
eign Minister Balfour.
The extreme element among the
French Socialists have never con-
templated anything short of the re-
turn to French sovereignty of Alsace-
Lorraine, while so far as Italy is con-
cerned, it is said here that the gov
ernment would be overturned by the
people if it consented to abate its
demand for Italia irredentia," in
volving the restoration of the Aus
trian province on the Adriatic to
Italy.
RusSia'S Interest Limited
Russias interest in the proposals
as outlined is very limited, outside
of her general concern for a speedy
but honorable peace in conjunction
with her allies, by reason of the
omission of any reference to the Bal
kan question outside of Serbia and
Rumania, leaving excluded any ques-
ton OF control of the entrance to
the Black Sea. However, the propo-
sition to submit the future of Poland
to peaceful solution" attracts some
attention in that quarter.
Predict United States Rejection
The entente diplomats here nat
urally looking to the reception of the
pope's proposals by the American
government recall with much salts
faction President Wilson's demand
for PREPARATION" from the central
powers as a very significant and preg-
nant supplement to Mr.. Balfour's de.

Peaceful solution" with reference
to the problems of Alsace7 Lorraine,
Trent, Trieste and Poland is generally
interpreted in entente circles here to
mean submission of those problems
to arbitration. AS such an arbitra-
ton would be impossible of attain
ment because practically all nations
who might in ordinary times serve

lieve that under the proposal is con-

Complaints About Police
Referred to City Council

Complaints against two city pa

Herman Kautz, lodged within the last
week with Mayor Gorgas, were re-
ferred by that official this morning

Mayor Gorgas told Council that
