promote a satisfactory solution

clear that an understanding might

first four points Of Mr.. Wilson's
program.
Il now come to the fifth point:
Settlement of all colonial claims and
disputes: Practical realization of Mr..
Wilson's principles in the realm of
reality will encounter some Difficult
ties in any case. believe that for
the present it may be left for Eng

Won HertIlna's Reply.


Amsterdam. Jan. 25.-Chancellor
Won Hertling in his address before
the main committee Of the reichstag
yesterday referred to President Will
sons address as follows:
81 shall not enlarge upon the dis
torted representation Of German poll
icy which is contained in Mr.. Will
sons message, but will deal In detail
with the points which Mr.. Wilson
lays down there, not less than four
teen points, in which he formulates
his peace program.
THE first point is the demand that
there shall be no more secret inter
national agreements. History shows
1t is we, above all others, who would
be able to agree to the publicity Of
diplomatic documents. Our de-
fensive alliance with Austria Hun
gary was known to the whole world
from 1888, while the offensive agree
ment Of the enemy states first saw the
light of publicity during the war,
Russian archives. The negotiations
at Brest-Lltovsk are being conducted
with full publicity.
In his second point Mr.. Wilson de-
mands freedom Of shipping on the
seas in war and peace. This also is
demanded by Germany as the first
and one OF the most important re-
auirements for the future. Therefore
there is here no difference OF opin-
ion.
1T would, however, be highly inn
portant for the freedom Of shipping
In future IL strongly fortified naval
bases on important international
routes, such as England has at
Malta, Alden, Hong KONG,
the Falkland islands and many other
places, were removed.
Point three: We too are in thor
ough accord with the removal of
barriers which interfere
with trade in q superfiuous manner.
We, too, condemn economic war,
which would inevitably bear. within
1t causes Of future warliks compli-
cations.
