Amsterdam. Thursday. Sept 12.-Reit-
Grating that Germany "as the innocent
and attacked party in the war had a
right to demand ndemnfca ton, Fried
rich Won Payer, the German vice chan
cellor. in his speech today at Stuttgart
said:
even with our own favorable military
situation, to abandon this idea"
Turning to the question of the occu-
pied territories he said that as a pre-
limnary condition of peace for Germa-
ny and her allies those nations must
have all their pre-war possessions. in
Then Germany, he declared. could evac-
uate the occupied regions and could give
back Belgium without encumbrance and
without reserve, providing no other state
was more favorably placed in regard to
Belgium than was Germany
He asserted that Germany would not
submit to the Entente Powers for APP
prevail or alteration the peace trea ties
which Germany had signed with the
Ukraine Russia and Rumania.
Herr Won Payer considered that this
might mean disappointment and renun-
citation to Germany's enemies which
would be Utmost equivalent to confess
sion of defeat as they have made the
destruction and political batte~ing of
us and cur allies their aim
Russia he thought might have remain
ed in a capable existence if she had
granted tolerable conditions to the en-
shaved races by a federal constitution.
The vice chancellor said it was un-
thinkable that Germany would con-
tribute to the restoration Of the des-
potic Russion empire which. by IFS
