SAYS GERMANS
MUST SIGN TERMS
ALLIES OFFER
Macmillan Harden Say Dele
gates Are Worst That
Could Possibly be Chosen.
BY FRANK j. TAYLOR.

By United Press.
BERLIN, May 1.-(By courier TO
Paris. May 3)-Germany to save
herself from destruction. must sign
any peace terms the allies offer her.
Maximilian Harden. editor OF Die
Zukunft and the most outspoken
German of prominence. told the
United Press today.
Harden expressed fear, however.
that the propaganda already dis
seminated by the German govern
ment may influence the people to
refuse ratification OF the treaty, even
if the delegates finally counsel its
acceptance. Although a radical him
self, he declared he opposed COM
munism at this time. while admit
ting his belief that the country Will
be plunged into communism if the
treaty is not signed
Are Not PacifiiSts.
THE German peace delegates are
the worst that could possibly have
been chosen" said Harden Herr
Schuecking is the only pacifist
among them, and even he was a
member of the jury which recently
declared the murder OF Capt. Fryatt
justified" -
(Fryatt. commander of a British
merchant steamer was executed be
cause he is alleged to have attempt
ed to ram . U-boat)
THE delegates have made their
position more difficult by influencing
the people through the press to op-
pose the allied peace terms. 1t is
doubtful If a plebiscite could now re-
suit in acceptance of the treaty,
since the press is deceiving the peo-
pie worse than it did during the war
Would Twist Points.
THE same Germans who con-
demned the II points as Over-harsh
and impossible, when Pres't Wilson
first announced them. are now in
tentionally twisting them about to
make them easy. The Il points are
not easy. They are hard. Pres't Will
son did not intend them otherwise.
L told the German people when
they were first enunciated that they
were the best we could get. and
that we had better accept them. The
press nON Odi y dbbuL AlOtdlA u
the points because the peace terms
are hard.
Need sympathy.
IF the treaty is not accepted. then
the government will have thrown
Germany into renewed and lasting
suffering. Germany needs food sup
plies and credit, but more than that
she needs the worlds good will and
sympathy If the German delegates,
by their attitude, do not gain these
and do not convince the world that
Germany is changed and reformed;
if Pres't Wilson no longer can cham
piOn justice for Germany because
Germany does not deserve justice;
then the government will be over
thrown. I would consider that a ca
tastrophe. Not because l am opposed
10 the theory of communism am
a radical myself-but because
think that the present is no time
for a change Of the social order. For
instance when a patient is in the
middle Of a difficult operation il is
unwise to begin teaching him dane
ing lessons That is the tragic posi-
ton OF Germany.
Z am fearful OF the worst IL the
German delegates trifie and bluff
when our whole future depends up
on our changing the worlds hostil-
ity 10 good will, by openness and
honesty"
