Siesia for the benefit of Poland and
C2echo-Slovakia, although Il has been
in close political connection with
Germany for more than $50 years. is
instinct with German life, and forms
the very foundation of Industrial life
Throughout East Germany.
''Preponderantly German circles
(Kreisa) must be ccded to Belgium
without sufficient guarantees that the
plebiscite which is only to take place
afterwards, will be Independent. The
purely German district of the Saar
must be detached from our empire
and the way must be paved for it's
subsequent annexation to France. al
though we owe her debts in coal only,
not in men.
Protest Rhine Occupation.
For fifteen years Rhinist territory
must be occupied, and after those
fifteen years the allies have the power
to refuse the restoration of the cOun-
try; in the interval the allies can take
every measure to sever the economic
and moral links with the mother coun-
try and nally to misrepresent the
wishes of the Indigenous population.
ALTHOUGH the cXaction of the cost
Of the war has been expressly re-
nounced, as yet Germany, thus cut
in pieces and weakened. must declare
herself ready in principle to bear all
the war expenses or her enemies,
which would exceed many times over,
the total amount OF German state and
private assets
Meanwhile her enemies demand in
excess of the agreed conditions repara-
tion for damage suffered by their civil
population and in ,his connection Ger

standard of life. but solely by their
capacity to meet the demands of their
enemies by their labor. The German
people would thus be condemned to
perpetual slave labor.
In spite of the eXorbitant demands,
the reconstruction of our economic
life is at the same time rendered inn
possible. We must surrender our mer-
chant fleet. We are to renounce all
fOr eign securities We are to hand
over 20 our enemies cur property NJ

after the conclusion of peace the enc

aims in the spheres of political, eco
nomics and ideas.
Internal Affairs Governed.
Even in internal affairs we are to
give UP the right to self determination !
The international reparation commits !
sion receives dictatorial powers over
the whole life of our people in eco !
nomic and cultural matters. Its au- |
thority extends far beyond that which |
the empire, the German federal couu- |
ell and the reichsag combined ever |
possessed within the territory of the |
empire. This commission has un- !
'mited control over the economic life |
Of the state, of communities and of
tdiViGnals. Further the entire edu !
catinnal and sanitary system depends !
on it. 1t can keep the whole German |
people in mental thraldom. In order |
10 increase the payments due by the !

measures for the social protection of |

IN other spheres also GermanNs |
sovereignty is abolished. Her chicc J
waterways are subjected to interna
.ional administration; she must con-
'tluct in her territory such canals
md such railways as her enemies
wish; she must agree to treaties the
cf which are unknown to
Ter; to be concluded by her enc
mics with the new states on the east,
wen when they concern her own func-
ions. The German people is excluded
rom the league of nations, to which
$ entrusted all work of common in
crest to the world,
Thus must a whole people sign the
decree of its own prescription, nay
It's own death sentence.
Germany knows that she must
make sacrifices in order to attain
peace. Germany knows that she has,
by agreement, undertaken to make
these sacrifices, and will so in this
matter to the utmost limits of her ca
pacity.
What Huns Offer.
"One-Germany offers to proceed
with her cwn disarmament in advance
)f all other peoples, in order to show
that she will help to usher in the new
FRA of the peace of justice. She gives
lp universal compulsory service and
her army, to 100000 men, ex-
'ept as regards temporary measures.
She even renounces the warships
which her enemies are still willing toi
cave in her hands
She stipulates, however that she
hah be admitted forthwith into the
eague of nations. She stipulates that
genuine league of nations shall come
nto being, embracing all peoples of
good WILL even her enemies of today. !,
rhe league must be inspired by a ,
ceiling of responsibility toward man ,
