German Arrogance
Real Blockade Cause
Harden Says Nation Refused to
Agree to Freedom of Sea, Ex.
pecting British to Starre First

PARIS, May 14.-Germany's block
ade troubles were primarily brought
upon her by herself, writes Maximilian
Harden, the German editor, in the lat
est number Of his periodical, "Die
Zukunft." Both Bismarck and Caprivi
had predicted such measure against
Germany if she went to war, the writer
points out, but he argues that it would
have been impossible for the blockade
to have been imposed if Germany had
not refused at The Hague in 1907 to
accept the British proposition tending
to the abolition of the right of cap
ture and that of prohibited zones on
the seas.
The men who at that time were di-
recting German foreign policy, Harden
continues, were convinced that in case
OF the outbreak of an Anglo German
war the British people, no longer de-
voted to agriculture, would suffer from
famine much before Germany, a coun-
try, highly developed agriculturally
Denmark.
In these circumstances therefore, IN

communication sent to the peace con-
ference by the Wonen's international
Conference for Permanent Peace at
Zurich. The United States is declared
to have twenty-five delegates at the con-
ference at which fifteen countries are
represented.
The text of the communication fol-

"This international Congress of
Women expresses deep regret that
the terms of peace proposed at Yer
sailles should so seriously violate
the principles upon which alone
just and lasting peace can be secured
and which the democrats of the
world had come to expect. BY
guaranteeing the fruits of secret
treaties to the conquerors, the terms
of peace have tacitly sanctioned
secret diplomacy, denied the prin-
cip1e.,of self determination, recognized
the rights of the victors to the spoils
and GREETED all over Europe discords
an animosities which can only lead
to future wars.

100000 people of this generations in
the heart of Europe are condemned
to poverty, disease and despair,
which must result in the spread of

With deep sense of RESPONSE
bility, this congress strongly urges
the Allied governments to bring the
peace treaty into harmony with
those. principles first enunciatcd by
President Wilson, upon the faithful
carrying out of which the honor Of
the Allied peoples depends.

To Plead for Treaty
Departing Enroys Expected to

Their Signature Is Advisable

Copyright, 1919 New York Tribune Inc)
PARIS, May 15.-Thc departure of a
section of the German delegation is
considered in peace conference circles
as a logical outcome Of a division of
opinion in regard to the peace treaty,
as has been reported. The departing
section is believed to represent those
favoring signature, who hope to swing
the National Assembly to their view
point, while Count Brockdorff- -Rantzau
and others who remain continue their
maneuvres toward persuading the AL
lies to reduce their demands.
The Allies undoubtedly are securing
information in regard to the German
inner councils upon which to base their
belief that the departing Germans
expect to convince the Ebert govern
ment that the best policy will be to
sign and then to leave the growth of
feeling in Socialist and labor circles
in France and Great Britain to bring
about a mild execution of the treaty.
Count Brockdorff Rantzau's advice is
said to be fat refusal to sign the
treaty, based on the belief that the
Allies would be seriously embarrassed
by such a policy

Toxic Council Plans
Reforms for Corea
Emperor Presides at Meeting
TO Draw Up New System of
Organic Government


TOXIC, May Is (By The Associated
Press).- The Privy Council met to-
day under the presidency of the En-
peror and decided upon partial re-
vision of the organic system of >the
Corean government.
Corean affairs have come into prom
inence recently because of the out
| break of the independence movement
in Corea. The movement began March
ID and led to serious riots and other
disorder. The Japanese Embassy in
Washington on April "a said that 332
persons had been killed and more than
700 wounded. Corean independence
leaders have claimed that several thou
sand were killed.
The movement reached its climax
April when provisional Corean
government was named. EARLY this
week petition was presented to the
Peace Conference asking for the recog-
milton of an independent Corea and
the removal of the country from Japa-
nese control.
Katsuo Usami, chief of the Home
Affairs Department or the Corean gov
ernment, in an interview April /, said
Japan was preparing to institute re-
forms when the Corean uprisings be-
gan. He declared that the japanese
government was seeking to abolish dis
elimination against the Coreans, but
that all the bars could not be let down
at once.

is at least necessary. We deem it
requisite that all states should join
IN the agreement, even though not
belonging to the league of nations.
Want Labor Conference
lin order to guarantee to the work
ing classes, for whom the proposed
improvements are intended, coopera-
ton in the framing of these provi-
slons, the German delegation is of the
OPINION that representatives of the
national trade union organizations of
all the contracting powers should be
summoned to conference at Ver-
sailles to discuss and take decision
on international labor law before the
peace negotiations are terminated.
THE proceedings of this confer
ence, in the opinion of the German
delegation, should be based on the
resolutions of the International
Trade Conference in Berne, February
to ., 1919, and the programme for
international labor legislation ad-
dressed to the Peace Conference in
Paris, which emanated from the de-
cIslons of the international Trade
Union Conference in Leeds in 1915.
At the request of the trade unions of
Germany we beg to inclose a copy of
these resolutions, which have been
adopted by the representatives of the
trade union organizations of Bo-
hemla, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany,
France, Greece, Holland, Italy, Can
ada, Norway, Austria, Sweden. Switz-
erland, Spain and Hungary.
Accept, sir, the assurance of nv
highest esteem.
"BROCKDORFF- -RANTzAU,"
The international agreement on la
Dor law prepared by the German GOV
ernment, referred to in the note of
count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, was
prepared in the German Ministry of
Labor some months ago, and first pub
hshed on May l. Most of this docu.

Posals Tor labor legislation, num-
per OF which were incorporated in the
lnternatlonal labor charter issued by
the Syndical conference at Berne in
February.
Future Is Disregarded
Slight provision, however, is made
Tor the future continuance of the In
ternational Labor Legislature. Article
VII, which contains the proposition for
an international organization, speaks
OF an international conference which
would meet at least once in five years.
In IL each power would have one
vote, and four-iifths majority would
be necessary before any resolutions

commission charged with the techni-
cal oversight of the DEGREES of this

Dor would have any direct representa-

ers, to the international labor office
arranged for in the terms of the Al
lies.
The definite terms proposed at pres

LONDON, May 15.-Philip Schcide-

through the Berlin correspondent of

paper, an appeal to the British people

many is placed in by the peace condi-

Herr Scheidemann makes various
points similar to those in his reported
speeches, and in additions says:

ence of wicked war can really intend
to reduce kindred civilized people to
slavery, for that is what these condi

Cernau,, Treaty Protests
Believed Propaganda

pARIS, May Is (By the Associated
Press).-The conviction is grow
ing in Allied circles that most of the
German protests against the peace
treaty SO far received were written
before the reading of the treaty and
are designed as propaganda. This
conviction is strengthened by the
fact that the text of the treaty is
not quoted and that the protests
have been published in Berlin be-
fore they were received in Paris.
The conference, however, is refer
ring all protests to commissions,
which will consider them on their
merits.

ROME, May 15.-The "Osservatorc
Romano" in an article apparently in
spired by the Vatican, says Baron Son
nino, the Italian Foreign Minister, is
chiefly responsible for the gravity of
the situation over the Adriatc ques-
ton, because he was the author of the
Pact of London, which assigned Fiume

ut is not true" the newspaper saws,
Chat Russia demanded that Fiumc be
reserved for Serbia, but even if that
were so Sonnino, who remained in
power throughout the war, should have
had the treaty changed when Russia
collapsed and when nothing would have
been denied to Italy"
The "Osservatore Romano" thinks
Baron Sonnino only was anxious to
maintain Article XIV of the London
Pact, which prevented the participa-
ton of the Pope in the peace confer
ence, which, it adds, was IAN odious
offence to the Holy See"
