given by the Allies in their note
of November fifth that the peace
would be a peace of right on the
basis of President Wilson's
fourteen points
Instead of that the Allies
have now given us peace terms
which are in contradiction to
the promise given. 1t is unbear-
ablel for the German people and
is impracticable, even if we
put forth all our powers. Nio-
lence without measure would be
done to the German people.
From such an imposed peace
fresh hatred would be bound to
arise between the nations and
in the course of history there
would be new wars.
The ismemberment and
mangling of the German people,
the delivering of German labor
to foreign capitalism for the
indignity of wage slavery and
the permanent lettering of the
young German republic by the
entente's Imperialism is the aim
OF this peace of violence. The
German peoples government
will answer the peace proposal
or violence with proposal of a
peace of right on the basis of
a lasting peace of the, nations.
The fact that all circles of
the German people have been
moved so deeply testifies that
the German government Is Civ
ing expression to the united will
of the German nation. The Ger
man government will put forth
every effort to secure for the
German people the same ma
tional unity and independence
and the same freedom of labor
in economical and cultural re-
spects which the Allies want to
give to all the peoples of Eu-
rope, save only our people.
our nation must save itself
by its own action. In view of
this danger of destruction the
German nation and the govern
ment which 1t chose must stand
by each other, knowing no
parties. Let Germany unite in a
single will to preserve German
nationality and liberties. Every
thought and the entire will of
the nation ought now to be
turned to labor for the pre-
servation and reconstruction of
our fatherland. The government
appeals to all Germans in this
hard hour to preserve with it
mutual trust in the path of duty
and in the belief in the triumph
of reason and of right"
The proclamation, which was 1
ued by the imperial president al
he imperial government. bears II
