SCHEIDEMANN DECLARES
BISMARCK WAS WRONG
Denounces Egotistica1 Might and
Speaks Against Leaving Heap
of Ruins in Europe

COPENHAGEN, Thursday. February
of the provisional cabinet of Ger
many, attacks Prince Bismarck's con-
ception of foreign affairs in an in
terview with the Zeitung Am Mitfag
of Berlin. He says that Bismarck's
policy was failure almost every
where. adding: I'VE had to pay for
its mistakes in north Schleswig and
in Alsace and Lorraine"
ssThe policy of new Germany" he
continues, must be based, not as
Bismarck planned. on opposition to,
but in harmony with Austria; not on
the slender pillar of egotistical might
of a single federal government. but
on the broad democratic basis of the
united will of ali the German tribes.
THE league of nations has warm
est supporters in Germany. We hope
other countries that IL is to the in
terest of the entire world that, in
stead OF heap of ruins in the center
of Europe, there should be a newly
constructed social democracy. Not in
Russia. but in Germany, will the So
be found. The heavier the conditions
imposed upon Germany. the quicker
will bolshevism spread. World chaos
is preferable to slow death by tor
ture.
''The entente may conclude a peace
corresponding to its interests, but for
US there are limits beyond which it
Is impossible to go. Tho moment
might, therefore. arise when we must
leave the conference table, not to
take up arms akain-that is impos-
sible-but to place the responsibility
for the terrible results of such a
peace on the shoulders Of those who
think they can answer to history
for ii"
The interview concludes with an
expression of deep regret that Ger
many's position is almost nowhere
appreciated abroad. 1t is admitted
that all Germans. even those who
formerly doubted American disinter-
estedness. NOW see that America Sc
riously intends to fight for the policy
of reconciliation of the peoples"
