first steps on this doad must hit upon
all sorts of obstacles, they will, never
theless, bring us nearer to the goal.
I'VE shall endeavor, with the aid
of public opinion to remove the
Objectionable features from the
covenant. Taken as whole the
draft has, I must state with regret,
a character more oligarchic than
democratic.
The executive council has such
predominant position that there
can scarcely be any question of re-
sponsibility. This fact, however,
would hardly pevent Germany from
entering a league of nations, for
the victorious might of democratic
ideas will assert itself in the
league as it asserted itself in the
nations which now reserve for
themselves the decisive influence
and Herewith the direction OF the
league.
Two Wilson Points Missing.
II cannot admit that from the
standpoint of international law, Ger
many's sovereignty over her colonies
has ceased to exist. Until peace is
concluded, it is only a question Of
the right of occupation.
The manner in which thus far
possessions of ermany and Turkey
have been awarded to various powers
looks more like a distribution of the
spoils of war among happy conquer
ors than like the generous and tust
adjustment OF the colonial problems
as advocated by President Wilson.
'"The question of the freedom of
the seas has been entirely ignored.
and that the question of freedom of
commerce is really touched upon only
In points where exceptions from such
freedom are deemed necessary.
There are lacking In the covenant.
therefore, two important points of
the Wilsonian program.
III In the questions Of world COM
merce and colonies we are to be
treated as a pariah; II the treaty Of
peace which our adversaries will sub
NIT tos us contains terms conflicting
with President Wilson'S basic princi-
pies, then let the world know this
the German nation will not cease pro-
testing against such injustice infiict-
ed upon 1t.
I'VE shall, therefore. be able to rest
on the fact that in the beginning of
last November, when Germany ac-
cepted the armistice terms, a contract
between Germany and her advrsaries
regarding the basic principles Of peace
was effected through the good offices
OF the American government"
