Terms UnbearabIe, Says Ebert,
Urging People to Unite ITO

Mean WAGE SLAVERY
German President Tells Populace Ihey
Must Stand Together, Knowing
No Party, To Preserve
Their Nationality.

Berlin, May 12.-Germany's reply to
The terms Of peace presented at Yer
sailles next Wednesday will be a pro-
posal For a peace Of right On the
basis of a lasting peace Of the nations
according to a proclamation to the
German people issued here by Presi-
dent Ebert.
Text of Proclamation.
The text Of the proclamation fol-
lows:
The first reply of the Allies to the
sincere desire for peace on the part
of our starving people was the laying
down of uncommonly hard armistice
conditions. The German people, hav-
ing laid down its arms, honestly OBJ
served all the obligations of the armis-
tice, hard as they were. Notwithstand-
ing this our opponents for six months
have continued the war by maintain
ing the blockade. The German people
bore all these burdens, trusting in the
promise given by the Allies in their
note of November s, 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 %unbearable for the German people
and is impracticable, even if we put
forth all our power. Violence with
out measure would be done to the Ger
man 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 world would be obliged to
bury every hope of a league of ma
tions liberating and healing the ma
tons and insuring peace.
Want "Peace of Right"
"The d~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 i'm
perialism is the aim of this peace of
violence. The German peoples gov
eminent will answer the peace propos-
ais of violence with a proposal of a
peace of right on the basis of a last.
ing peace of the nations.
The fact that all circles of the
German people have been moved so
deeply testifies that the German gov.
eminent is giving expression to the
united will of the German nation. The
German government will put forth
every effort to secure for the German
people the same national unity and
independence and the same freedom
of labor in economical and cultural
respects which the Allies want to give
to all the peoples of Europe, "a only
our people.
Our nation must save itself by its
own action. In view of this danger OF
destruction the German nation and the
government which it chose must stand
by each other, knowing no parties
Let Germany unite in a single will tC
preserve German nationality and lib
critics. Every thought and the entire
will of the nation ought now to be
turned to labor for the preservation
and reconstruction of our fatherland
The government appeals to all Ger
mans 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"
