import. 1t will not be our strength tina:
will decide, but it will be what Is
thought to be right in free discussion
with our opponents that will give the
decision. This is a great effort for 4
proud people accustomed to victory. The
legal questions involved will not STOP
at our national boundaries. which we
will never of our own accord open for
violence.
The principles upon which we have
agreed as rule of conduct also involve
internal questions. From many quarters
1t has been represented to me that all
acceptance of President Wilson's condi-
ton would mean submission-anti-Ger-
man submission-to an anti-Gefman
court of justice which would decide legal
questions entirely from the viewpoint Of
its own interests. If that is the case,
why, then. is it the extreme apostles
of force in the Entente fear the coun-
cil chamber as the guilty fear the court
of justice?
The essence OF President Wilson s
program for league of nations can
NOT oe' achieved when all peoples have
not the right of national self -determina-
ton. This realization of community
law means the abandonment Of part of
the unqualified independence which
hitherto has been the indication of SOW
erelgnty. both by us and others. Should
we at nome maintain as Fundamental
the national egoism which until short
Tune ago was the dominating force of
the peoples life, there would be no res
utution and no renovation for U.S. There
would be feeling Of bitterness which
would cripple US for generations.
But If We comprehend that the sig
nificance of the frightful war is, above
all. victory for the idea of justice. and
u we do not resist this idea, but sub
NIT with all gooc faith, then we shall
hnd in it cure for our present wounds
and reservoir of future strength"
Prince Macmillan said that he would
not deny that heavy opposition in Ger
many must be conquered before the
ideal league Of nations could be real
lied. but he continued:
Whether the next few days or weeks
snail call rs ~ fight on, or open the
way to peace, there is no doubt we are
now equal to the task Of either war or
peace by carrying out the governments
program and definitely breaking away
from the old system"
The chancellor then discussed electo-
raj and parliamentary reform. He cited
bills before the Reichstag. one Of which
enables members Of the house to enter
the government without resigning, and
another PROPOSING q change in the laws
regarding the responsibility Of the chan
cellor. He continued:
