OFFICIAL COMMENT is WITHHELD
PENDING AN EXPRESSION OF THE
PRESIDENTS VIEWS.
PARIS SAYS THERE is NO EVIDENCE IN THE NOTE OF
GENUINE DESIRE TO ACCEPT ALLIES TERMS

ed lifeboats with their passengers.
The German government proposes
with regard to all those charges that
the facts be cleared up by neutral
commissions.
"In order to avoid anything that
might hamper the work of peace, the
German government has caused or
ders to be dispatched to all submarine
commanders precluding the torpedo
ing of passenger steamers without,
however, for technical reasons, being
able to guarantee that these orders
will reach every single submarine at
sea before its return.
CAS- a fundamental condition for
peace the president prescribes the de-
struction of every arbitrary power
that can separately, secretly and of
its own single choice disturb the peace
of the world. To this the Germans
reply,
Hitherto the representation of the
people in the German empire has not
been endowed with an influence on the
formation Of the government.
"The constitution did not provide
for a concurrence of representation
of the people in decisions of peace and
war. These conditions have just now
undergone q fundamental change.
"a new government has been form
ed in complete accordance with the
wishes (principle) of the representa-
ton of the people, based on equal,
universal, secret, direct franchise.
"Tta leaders of great parties of the
reichstag are members of this gov
ernment. In future no government
can take or continue office without
holding the confidence of majority
of the reichstag.
Responsibility of the chancellor of
the empire to the representation of
the people is being legally developed
and safeguarded. The first effort has
been to lay before the reichstag a
bill to alter the constitution OF the
empire so the representation of the
people is required before decision
can be made on war and peace.
"The permanence of the new system
is, however, guaranteed not only by
constitutional safeguards but also by
the unshakable determination of the
German people whose vast majority
stands behind these reforms and de-
mand their energetic continuance.
"The question of the president
with whom and the governments as
sociated against Germany we are ne
gotiating-are therefore answered in
clear and unequivocal answer, the
statement that a request for peace
and an armistice has come from q
government that is free from any ar
bitrary and irresponsible influence
supported by an overwhelming majori-
ty of the German people.
(Signed) "SOLF."
