GERMANY WILL
SIGN PEACE PACT
Final Impression After Thor
ough Survey Of All Shades
of Opinion.
NOTHING ELSE TO DO
Food Needed-Will Try Talk
ing at Peace Table-Danger
in Financial Issue.
(By Cyril Brown.)

Berlin, April 27, via, Copenhagen,
April 2S.--tCopyright, N. Y. World.)---
Germany will sign up. This Is my
final impression after thorough
going survey Of all shades of German
public opinion and after discounting
the utterances of interested German
statesmen and publicists, who may or
may not have been trying .toljnfiuence
the conference IN advance or the
meeting; for they have exhausted
every possibility of further negotia-
tions and have talked up to the time
limit.
The German delegation at Ver-
sailles will sign preliminary peace
treaty conditionally and subject TO its
ratification by the national assembly,
and providing some unforeseeable
factor does not cause sudden ma
tionwide explosion of patriotic pro-
test against q dictated peace. There
is not the slightest sign today that
German public opinion will or can be
aroused to a passionate pitch of pro-
test sufficient to make Germany lose
its head and reject the salvation OF
peace.
The German delegates will sign
and the national assembly will ac-
cordingly ratify because there is
nothing else for Germany to do. The
masses of the German people betray
an underfed apathy about peace pre-
'liminaries, but the prevalent mass
prophecy is that peace will be signed
and bring food.
Financial Circles Optimistic.
a nd xrD
informed financial circles take the
same optimistic view.
The week END saw remarkable
bull market on the Berlin Bourse,
due, according to financial experts,
to 'the confident view taken of the
course of the peace conference and
to President Wilson's attitude, as
well as to many signs of the begin
ming of an industrial revival" The
real danger point will be the finan-
cial question. If the indemnity de-
manded is so stupendous that Ger
many is convinced she will be re-
duced to economic slavery for gen.
Grafton or more, the impression is
that the treaty will not be signed
unless a plebiscite vote AYE"
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau,
head and principal orator of
the German peace delegation, will de-
liver lie opening speech at Versailles
on the very first opportunity offered
for tal..ng.
The conference can count on al
long but masterful, even brilliant,
exposition of the German new pro-
fession of faith in honest pacifsm,
arbitration, disarmament. the free
dom of the seas, league of nations
and President Wilson, eliminating in
a declaration of willingness to loyalty
sign and live up to peace based on
a league Of nations and carrying out
President Wilson's principles, and
frankly rejecting any other kind of
peace.
Count Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau and
the whole delegation will, initially at
least, affect belief in, and talk on the
assumption that the American and
allied delegates are sincerely eager to
insure eternal world peace by Loyalty |
seeking to live up to President Will
sons ideas.
