World. )-Although the seal of Sc
crecy is set upon the peace terms,
sufficient is known OF them TO allow
comment on the character and specu-
lation as to their reception.
In fact, speculation is too mild
word to use. with reference to the
German attitude, for that is fairly
well defined in private, but Official re-
ports have been received in Paris
from Berlin which show the Germans
to be opposed to both the spirit and
letter of many phases of the treaty.
II when printed they may carry this
opposition up to the point of refusal
to sign, the opinions of those whose
opinions are worth hearing. agree
that if probable changes would be
made the text OF the covenant be-
tween the time if submitted to the
Germans and the time If finally
signed, but they add such changes
will involve no abandonment of prin-
ciple but would be merely alterations
in methods of application. President
Wilson has steadily adhered to his
announced policy that Germans shall
be neither starved nor looted, but that
iustice shall be done. Yet the pres
sure of circumstances is such thar
he has been forced to accept harsher
measures than we're at first contem-
nlated-harsher from the position oi
the future, but necessary by reason
of immediate problems.
