"A Nations in an
 Economies Combine
FACT MADE PUBLIC BY LORD
 ROBERT CECIL
FOR TRADE AFTER WAR
Whether Germany Shall Be Admitted Depends Upon Whether Its Subjects Persist in Submission to Autocratic Masters.

London July 14-An economic asso- citation of twenty four nations com prlsing the entente allies already is in existence, declared Lord Robert Cecil, British under secretary of state for foreign affairs and minister of blockade, in comprehensive state ment regarding the worlds trade after the war which was issued today.
 How Germany Stands.
 Whether Germany eventually shall be admitted to this economic associa- tion, declared the British minister, yill be determined by the test estab- lished by President Wilson, when the president said on Dec that if the German people should still, after the war was over. continue to be obliged to live under ambitious and intriguing masters interested to disturb the peace Of the world it might be impossible to admit them to the partnership of the nations or to free economic inter- course
 Lord Robert described this state ment by the president as a definition of the qualifications for membership in the association of nations, and added: To this declaration we give our warmest assent"
 Germany an Obstacle.
 Germany is the one obstacle to this economic association of nations, said Lord Robert-the Germany described by President Wilson-a Germany liv- ing under ambitious and intriguing masters. "Germanys economic policy toward all the groups of people from the Arctic ocean to the Black sea- .'' he continued lis absolutely contrary to our principles. Economic indepen- dence and free choice are the last things which Germany will ever allow ! to the peoples within her reach. So long as this is the policy oi Germany, how can we admit her tc ! membership in the free association ot nations to which we already belons% 1 asked Lord Robert. Before we car offer her any participation in our re- 1 sources we must release her victims l from the economic slavery that she is imposing upon them"
 Economic Principles.
 With regard to the economic princi. pies of this association of nations Lord Robert said President Wilson haC 1 on Jan. s stated them in memora bl, words when he advocated the remova | so far as possible of all economic bar r1ers and the establishment of al equality of trade among the nation consentipg to peace and associatin; 1 themselves for it's maintenance"
 After giving ''warmest assent" t, these declarations of the president 1 Lord Robert added:
 Protective Tariffs.
 But do these declarations necessa rily mean that we-the association o nations-are to have no protectiv tariffs in international competition i trade after the war? No. Everyon is agreed to that In the words of tn program of the inter allied labor con ference, the right of each nation to tn defense of it's own economic interest and to the conservation of a sufficienc of foodstuffs and materials cannot b denied.

VoN HERTLlNG's DECLARATION
 REGARDING BELGIUM
Is Viewed by the Frankfurter Zeitung
 As Great Step in Advance.

Amsterdam July 14. - "Chancellor Won Hertling's declaration regarding Belgium is a great step in advance says the F'rankfurter Zoitung. Enemy statesmen" the newspaper continues, cannot interpret it as the British Foreign Secretary Balfour did the chancellor's February speech by in dicatirg that Germany intends to make Belgium subservient to herself by means of commercial. territorial and military conditions. There is now no obstable on Germany's side of the ending Of the war;
 The Vossische Zeitung says: Chan cellor Won Hertling's statement on Belgium was made with a definiteness which always hitherto has been lack ing. The chancellor,s thorough expo sition of his conception of the Belgian problem will silence chatter about German statesmen being Intentionally silent cn this subject or expressing themselves with studied obscurity.''
 Germania says:
 Belgium is the most important question raised by the war and with the chancellor's clear statement re- garding it the internal political situa- tion cannot be now considered as long CT strained"

Fad weather continues 10 prevail on the greater portion of the battle front 5n France and Flanders and the mili- tary operations still are far below nor nal Nowhere have there been any engagements arising in importance above trench raids and patrol encount- CTS.
 On several sectors, however. the big guns are constantly hammering away at opposing positions particularly on the American front along the Marne, where the activity of the long range pieces has increased perceptibly: on the sectors held by the British near AL bert Kemmel Hill and Ypres. and near Corey. where the French are face to face with the enemy.
 As yet there is no indication that the date for the commencement of the expected grand offensive by the Ger mans-the battle which it is thought will prove the greatest effort the en- emv has vet lnade--is at hand. The military observers. however. still in cline 70 the belief that with 8 return O. clear skies an attempt at a big drive or the piercing Of the allied front will be made
 All apparently is in readiness in the entente camps for any eveutualities and supreme confidence evidently pre- raiis among the commanders.

GERMANY LOOKS FOR
 RETURN OF COLONIES
As Compensation For the Surrender of
 Belgium by the Imperial Government.

Copenhagen July 14.-Chancellor Von Hertling's pronouncement on Belg- ium is regarded in high German poli- tical circles, says a despatch from Berlin to the Politiken as merely concrete statement of the position long maintained by the German govern ment; namely, that Belgium is only a pawn for Germany's use at the peace table. The despatch adds:
 President Wilson's speeches had given the world the idea that Germany hoped to retain Belgium and because of this a concrete statement was deemed necessary.
 German officials take it for grant ed that Germany will be compensated for the return of Belgium by getting back all her colonies and obtaining free routes to them.
 '"The fate of Belgium" according to these officials, depends upon whether the enteyr, will accept these condi- tions. / the entente tries to enforce a policy of taking away the German colonies and in cutting Germany off from the outside world then Germany won't surrender Belgium"
