WASHINGTON. July 1S.-Peace ego

majority peace program, according to
report to the state department today
An outline of the program of the ma
jority. mainly Center progressive and

follows:
On Aug. 4. 1914. the following words
We're spoken from the throne: We are
impelled by no thought of conquest
"On this platform the German. people
stand today as they did when the words
were spoken. Germany has taken up
arms only in the defense of her liberty
and independence and for the protection
of her territorial possessions
The Reichstag aspires to a peace by
negotiation and perpetual reconcilia-
tion among nations. With a peace such
as this all annexation by force and all
political. industrial and financial meas
ures by violenNe are incompatible
The Reichstag disapproves all plans
which lead to empty isolation and en-
nifty among the people after the war
THE freedom of the seas must he
secured. Only an industrial peace will
pave the way for friendly intercourse
among nations.
However. as long as the enemy's
government refuse peace on this basis so
long as they threaten Germany and her
allies with conquest and force of arms.
just so long will the German people
stand together as one man. lighting and
persevering steadfastly until her own
and her allies rights to live and deveI-
op shall be assured.
In its unity the German people stand
uncomfortable. The Reichstag feels it
self TO be one with the man who in bat
tie have 50 heroically guarded the front.
The imperishable thanks Of the entire
people is thier portion"
This program will be laid before the
Reichstag for action
Chancellor Michaeiis must address
himself to it soon
German press comment received here
shows no clear note either of satisfact
tion of dissatisfaction over the appoint
ment of Michaelis.
