"A nations WOULD
Hold WORLD TRADE
Lord Robert Cecil Says Ger
many's Admission Depends
on Ambitions of Rulers
LIBERTY SOUGHT
FOR ALL PEOPLES

LONDON, July i5.-An economic asso-
citation OF twenty-four nations COM
prislng the Entente Allies, already is in
existence, declared Lord Robert Cecil,
British Under Secretary Of State for
Foreign Affairs and Minister Of Block
ade. in comprehensive statement re-
gardlng the worlds trade after the
war, which was issued yesterday.
Whether Germany eventually shall be
admitted TO this economic association,
declared the British Minister, will be
determined by the test established by
President Wilson, when the President
said. on December 4, that II the German
people should still, after the war was
over, continue TO be Obliged TO live
under ambitious and intriguing mas
ters interested to disturb the peace OF
the world" II might be impossible to
admit them TO the partnership OF the
nations or TO free economic intercourse.
Lord Robert described his statement
by the President az a definition Of the
qualifications for membership in the
Association Of Nations. and added /:
ITO these declarations we give our
warmest assent"
Germany Is the one obstacle to this
Economis Association Of Nations, said
Lord Robert-the Germany described
by President Wilson, Germany living
under ambitious and intriguing mas
ters "Germany's economic policy to-
ward all the groupings Of peoples from
the Arctic Ocean to the Black Sea-" he
continued, lis absolutely contrary to
our principles. Economic independence
and free choice are the last things
which Germany will ever allow to the
peoples within her reach.
80 long as this Is the policy OF Ger
many, how can we admit her 10 mem
bershlp In the Free Association OF Ma
tlons 70 which we already bel0ngg
asked Lord Robert Before we can
offer her any participation In our re-
sources she must release her victims
from the economic slavery that she Is
imposing upon them"
With regard 10 the economic princi-
pies OF this Association OF Nations.
Lord Roberts said President Wilson had
on July s, stated them In memorable
words when he advocated the removal
so far as possible, OF all economic bar
riers and the establishment OF an equal
ity OF trade among the nations consent
ing to peace and associating themselves
for its maintenance"
After giving "wsrmest assent 70
these declarations Of the President
Lord Roberts added:
But do these declarations necessar-
ily mean that we--the Association OF
Nations-are 10 have no protective tar
ifs in international competition II
trade after the war; No. Every one !:
agreed TO that. In the words OF The
program OF the Interallied Labor Con
/ ference, the right OF each nation TO th'
defense Of his own economic Interests
and TO the conservation OF a suficiencS
OF foodstuffs and materials cannot be
denied"
He concluded with the expression Of
the hope that the time was not far on
when the Allies would meet az the
council hoard TO discuss in detail the
economic association which VIII com
bine the resources OF the civilized
world I'm the joint work Of reconstruc-
ton and the restoration Of prosperity.
