London, Feb. 2S.-Foreign Secretary
Baifour, replying Wednesday to the
speech of Won Hertling, the German
imperial chancellor, regarding the doc
trine of the balance OF power, said
that until German militarism had be-
come a thing of the past and there
was in existence hall or court arm
ed with executive powers making the
weak as safe as the strong it would
never be possible to ignore the princi-
Piles underlying the struggle for the
balance OF power. Mr.. BalfoUr told
the house of commons, which he was
addressing, that he was unable to find
in Won Hertling's speech any basis
for fruitful conversation or hope OF
peace. The chancellors attitude con-
corning Belgium, said Mr.. Balfour, was
completely unsatisfactory and his lip
service to President Wilson's PROPOSE
tons was not exemplified in German
practice

"The independence OF Belgium must
be secured and the Flemings and Wal.
