Amsterdam, teD. Zo.- Inc central
powers intend to give self government
to the provinces of Courland and Lith-
uania, Imperial Chancellor Won Hert-
ling declared in his address to the
feichstas yesterday.
The operation Of the central powers
in the east, the chancellor said, were
being carried out with the sole aim
OF securing the fruits Of the peace with
the Ukraine. He added:
1--WE do not intend to establish our
selves irl Esthonia or Livonia."
The chancellor asserted the central
powers had freed Poland with the In
tention Of calling an Independent state
into existence. The constitutional prob
lem involved was still being discussed
in it's narrower extent, he said. by the
three countries involved.
Our war aims from the beginning
were defense Of the fatherland, main
tenance Of our territorial integrity
and freedom Of our economic develop
ment," he said. Our warfare, even
where 1t must be aggressive in action.
Is defensive in aim. ] lay special stress
upon that just now In order that no
misunderstanding may arise In regard
to our operations In the east. Their
sole aim is to secure the fruit Of our
peace with the Ukraine"
Statement on Peace.
Chancellor Won Hertling made this
declaration regarding peace:
q f,pnH 10 ~ "a With thu
four principles in which President Will
exchange OF views, and thus declare
with President Wilson that a general
peace can be discussed on such a basis.
"Only one reserve need be made in
this connection: These principles must
not only be proposed by the President
OF the United States. but also must
actually 10 recognized ~ a.! states and
peoples"
"But this goal has not yet been
reached. There is still no court Of ar
bitration established by all nations for
the preservation Of peace in the name
Of Justice.
"When President Wilson incidentally
says that the German chancellor is
speaking to the tribunal of the entire
world, must decline this tribunal as
prejudiced. joyfully as I would greet
It II an impartial court Of arbitration
existed. and gladly as I would coop
crate to realize such idesls"
These Are the Terms.
The German chancellor refers to the
statement Of President Wilson before
congress on Monday. Feb. II. in which
ne answered the peace proposals Of the
central powers and summed up the
principles that must be applied to an
enduring peace, as follows:
Il. That each part Of the final settle
ment must be based upon the essential
Justice Of that particular cause and
upon. such adjustments as are most
likely to bring a peace that will be per-
smanent.
