Of secretaries in order to coordination
Partly but not entirely for domestic purposes the demo

there are ample possibilities of separating the allies Herr

"Anybody who even superfcay read the English, Amer
can French Italian newspapers during recent weeks has
noticed with asonshment the amount of dscod that exists
between the entente governments First there IS struggle
between Italians and the southern Savs about wha are
supposed to vital interests then there friction between
France and England that turns the fact that Premier
Clemenceau and all the French mperass rely upon the old
treaty with Russia of the 1917 by which France was
strengthened in Asac Turkey and Europe and given the
ISaar Basin.
con top all these differences the difference in opinion
between England and the Unted States President wilson
wants league nations in the interests Of the American peo
pie because the league expected to Danish the danger OF
future wars for America the English rulers want league
of nations only ethical cloak for Engands absolute DOM
nation 1t is obvious the gigantic American plans that
America sees through this English ruse
After several quotations from Josephus Daniels American
secretary of the navy Bernhard proceeds:
We note these things order to the ea OF

of German policy to play off the states OF he eneh
against another by petty nrgues Our object only TO
prove Germany need have fear of being in Paris SIMPLY
to object to an international policy for there uniform sub
ec for this policy Germany needs only pursue her own
calm clear policy upon the principle of the right OF pepe
to sefdetermnaon and the supplementary principle OF as

"But above ALL Germany need only at the moment When
unworthy proposals made to her declare she will not
sign peace treaty which preparation for wars AT

must show themselves clearly for fear of their own weak
nesses will dominate the allies at the congress- and all t

ward SO supremey necessary for Germany to send to the
peace congress men who have the will to make such policy
of dignity with resolue strength,
Bernhard particularly anxious that Germany shall not send
anybody like Prince chnowsky who msnderstands England
better than anybody and who the inclusion OF Ger
