Lord Robert said that as trustee for

have the same guarantee that the
enemy was really. sincerely and gen
timely trying to meet Great Britain's
essential demands.
There must be no humbug about Bel

but it is a test, and before we can con-
sent to enter into negotiations we must
be perfectly satisfied that the central
powers mean to restore Belgium abso-
lutely and do their best to repair the
greatest international wrong commit
ted for centuries.
Il can find no trace of that in Won
Hertling's speech. The Germans have
never conveyed to US in any shape or
form the fact that they are ready to
restore Belgium"

NO HOPE FOR PEACE
IN HERTL|NG SPEECH
BaIfour Says Balance of Pow
er Doctrine Must Stand Un-
till MiIitarism Ends.
WEAK MUST BE SAFE

b. the Associated Press.
LONDON. February 2S.-Foreign Sec
retary Balfour, replying to the speech
of Count Won Hertling, the German
imperial chancellor. regarding the doc
trine of the balance of power. said
that until German miiitarism had be-
come a thing of the past and there
was in existence a hall. or court, armed
with executive powers making the
weak as safe as the strong, 1t would
never he possible to ignore the princi-
pies underlying the struggle for the
balance of power.
Mr. Balfour told the house of COM
mons. which he was addressing. that
he was unable to find in Won Hertling s
speech any basis for fruitful conversa-'
ton or hope for peace. The chancel-
lor's attitude concerning Belgium, said
-dr. Ralfour, was completely unsatis-
factory, and his lip service to Presi-
dent Wilson'S propositions was not en-
emplified in German practice

Holt Alone in Belief.

Secretary Balfour said that Richard
Holt, radical NJ. p. whose amendment
TO the address to the throne expressing
regret concerning the decision of the
Versailles conference was defeated by
the house of commons two weeks ago,
appeared to be the only person in the
, world who considered Won Hertllngs $
reference to Belgium satisfactory.
MANY questions mug be settled at
the peace conference" Mr.. Balfour con-
tinued, but the question of Belgium is
the best touchstone of the honesty of
purpose of central Europe and diplo-
macy, and especially of German diplo-
macy There is only one course for the
offending nation in this case, namely,
unconditional restoration and repara-
tfon. When was Belgium the jumping
off ground of enemy Vaccinations, and
why should Germany suppose it is go
ing to be?

Defends England's Course.

Coming to the third proposition, Won
Hertling says with justice that the
doctrine of the balance of power is a
more or less antiquated doctrine. He
further accuses England of being the
upholder of that doctrine for purposes
of aggrandizement. That is pro-
foundly unhistorical method of looking
at the question. Great Britain has
fought time and again for the balance
of power because only by fighting could
Europe be saved from the domino ton
of one overbearing and aggressive ma
tion.
IF Won HertIing really wants to
make the balance of power antiquated,
he can do it by inducing his country
men to abandon that policy of ambi-
tious domination, which overshadows
the world at this mement. I return to
President Wilson's third and fourth
principles. Consider for a moment how
Won Hertling desires to see the prin-
.ciple that the interest and benefit of
the populations concerned should be

Why Punish Belgium?

Belgium has been the victim. not the
author, of these crimes, and why should
she be punished because Germany is
guilty? Germany always had in mind
new territorial, commercial or military
conditions which would prevent Bel
gium taking an independent nace
among the nations. which Germany and
ourselves were pledged to preserve.
What we had to consider is how far
Won Hertling's lip service to President
Wilson's four propositions really is ex-
emplified by German practice"
The foreign secretary then analyzed
the four propositions and Won Hertling's
attitude concerning them, as well as
the chancelloE's frame of mind regard
ing Alsace-Lorraine. He continued:
II could understand a German taking
q different view to the view of the
French, British, italian or America n
governments. but not a German dis
cussing the principles of essential JUS
tice and saying: There is no question
of Alsace-Lorraine to go before a peace
conference -
Regarding President Wilson's second
proposition we have had within the last
few, weeks a specimen of how Won
Hertling interprets in action the prin-
ciple he so glibly approves in theory.

of Polish territory to the Ukraine. We
would like to know how the Germans
came to make this gross violation of
their principle.
