r ONDON, May 17-(Associa-
~ ted PresS) - While Great
Britain stands ready to listen at
any time to any straightforward
proposals of peace from Germany,
the German idea of peace at the
present time continues to be one
of conquest based on the military
map. The announcement of the
British position was made in the
house Of commons yesterday by
Arthur Balfour, minister Of for
eign affairs; the idea of a Ger
man peace was obtained, almost
at the time the British minister
was speaking, by the French from
documents seized in a captured
German trench. q
,EXTRAVAGANT DEMANDS
This document, given OUT ON
cially last night from the head
quarters Of General Petain, shows
that the German government con-
tinueSSto encourage its army in
the field by extravagant claims of
victory and by the promise Of a
peace that will proclaim Germany
the victor. The document reveals
the German terms as follows:
Belgium, especially the coast
and the port of Antwerp, are to
remain under the military, econ
omic and political control Of Ger
many; ~.
The liberty Of the seas" is to
be guaranteed;~ n
All German colonies occupied
by the enemy are to be restored
and their boundaries enlarged;
The French cities of Longwy
and Briey, with their surrounding
districts, including the great iron
mines, are to be ceded to Ger
many, to be added to Alsace-Lor-
raine; jaM
WHO MUST PAY
Those nations which have at
tackled peaceful Germany will be
compelled to pay the greater part
Of the German war expenses, pay
ment to be made in raw materials,
ships, money and territory, leav-
ing Germany with a national debt
of not to exceed five billion marks.
Without knowledge of these
latest German terms, Minister
Rallour, in the commons, stated
that heretofore all the peace pro-
posals emanating from the eapi-
tails Of the Central Powers had
been anything but in the interests
of a fair and honorable peace,
such as Great Britain stood ready
to enter into.
II the Central Powers desire to
make a peace offer, Britain stands
ready to listen, he said. Such an
offer, however, must be made
through an accredited represent
tatiyc and presented in straight
forward manner. d
