GERMAN VICE
CHANCELLOR'S
FRANK TALK

Amsterdam, Oct. 27-In the
course Of a speech in the Reich
stag Thursday the German vice
chancellor, Frederick Won Payer,
said that the enemy's belief and
the assertion that the German
people were politically deprived
Of their rights and were so op-
pressed and dependent on small
ruling circles that it constituted
a constant danger for the peace
Of the entire world, had been the
greatest hindranee to the attain.
ment Of peace. This hindrance,
ne added, had to be removed and
the government had instituted far
reaching internal reforms which
were long overdue. On the prev
ious day the vice chancellor had
said I'VE need confidence, rot
merely at home; we need the con.
fidenee Of foreign countries; even
the confidence of our enemies.
For we want peace and we need
it. Our enemies disturb our sim
cere intention to conclude a peace
Of justice. They mistrust US
mainly on the ground Of many
events in the past concerning
which we cannot take It anniss Of
them it they have certain doubts.
We have therefore. no use for
any one in the government who
still favors a peace Of force moro
than a peace Of Justice. What
we need in order to be able to ex.
ist is an unequivoeal, honest and
straightforward roIicy. That
alone can promote our welfare in
the future.
