Washington Diplomat
Explains His Mis- ION

VIENNA, Feb. 13 (By The Associated
Press).-The designated ambassador of
the Ukraine to the United States, Or.
Eugene Holitzinsky, of Kiev, has been
halted here on his voyage to America,
having been unable to secure pass
ports. The French and other officials
are not willing to let DR.. Holitzinsky
pass until he receives permission to do
so from the United States government
lie has applied for this permission. but
as his country has not been recognized
by the United States, it is thought
possible he will not secure the REQUIRED
papers.
"My mission" said DR. Holitzinskv

people what the Ukraine republic is. to

"Thc Germans, who are bad psychol-
ogists, are asking for Wilson peace ,
The Allies and the United States, if
they keep their heads ana work to-
gether, will give them a peace based
upon the Wilson principles, and the
Germans won't like it,
THE reason the Germans ask for q
Wilson peace is because they hope
thus to prevent the governments Of
the associated peoples making a peace
on the basis of the Presidents prin-
ciples.

thirteen out of the fourteen Wilson
principles as the foundation of peace
merely because they were formulated
by an American President.
Says Ideals Are Similar
I'VE accepted them because they
were in the main our own principles,
and We welcomed them more heartily
because of the fact that our principles
were formulated by the American
President, who-with his virtues and

cellent judge of public feeling in his

Colonial Plan Is
Opposed by Germany

'Smilarly the colonial settlement,
as suggested recently in the Paris CON
ference, is absolutely unacceptable to
Germany because ut cannot be recon
ciled with Mr.. Wilson's programme.
which assigns to Germany an equal
share in deciding the fate of these
colonies
"On these grounds Germany objects
to the plan to place the German colo
MES under the control of the league
of nations"
In this connection DR.. Erzberger re-
TERED to another issue raised duriner
the armlstice negotiations, namely, the
proposal to place Germany to some ex-
tent under the financial control of tho
Entente through the medium Of Allied
food supplies for Germany.
Here his argument may be described
as an ingenious combination of two of
Germany's trump cards. In the first
place, he said that such financial con-
troll would violate the Wilson principle
OF self determination, and conseOuent-
ly was unacceptable. In the second
place, the Entente thereby would adopt
a proceeding never before resorted to
by any government excepting that of
the Bolshcviki in Russia.
This latter argument, Erzberrer
edded with satisfaction, had had its
effect and Marshal Foch dropped the
matter.

fective barrier against the Bolsheviki
Finally, l asked Erzberger what his
idea was concerning the developments
should Germany decline, as she
threatens to do, to sign a peace on the
ground of its terms not being in con-
formity with President Wilson's prin-
ciples. He answered.:
eve should have neither peace nor
war. Of course, it would be open to
the Entente to resume hostilities, but
l doubt whether their troops would be
enthusiastic about it."

rich world. With obvious satisfaction
he pointed out to me the success he
thinks he has already attained in this
direction.
During the first armistice negotia-
tions, he said, the Entente refused to
believe in the reality Of the Bolshevik
menace altogether. During the second
negotiations in December they admit
ted that it represented real danger,
at least in and to Germany. Finally,
in the last negotiations they could no
longer deny that Bolshevism had be-
come real menace to the Entente it.

PARIS, Feb. 13.-Grcece has been au-
thorized by the peace conference to
send additional troops into Thrace the
Smyrna district and adjacent territory

1t is understood that these troops
and those which Italy is about to send
to the Asia Minor districts of Adalia

This move is considered by observers
here as the first step toward making

"The committee considered draft

Bolshevism Chief
E.rzberger Weapon

To my question, "What has Germany
to offer the Entente for immediate ar
mistice and peace terms and early rails
ing of the blockade ?" DR.. Erzberger
replied:
Owe offer the great equivalent that
the world shall not be overlooked with
Bolshevism. On the other hand, if the
nothing"
This then Is Erzberger's trump card.
His second is the Wilson fourteen
points. These are regarded as Ger
many's charter. Their authority he in
serted into almost every discussion
during the armistice negotiations.
Plainly, Erzberger is satisfied that his
own Interpretation of President Will
sons programme affords him an easy
means of effectively pressing Ger
many's case at all points. He put his
case thus:
"The main principles of the coming
peace already have been definitely set
tied and agreed upon by the acceptance
as the basis of the armistce Wilson'S
fourteen points by both Germany and
the Entente. Beyond these fourteen
points Germany, under no circum-
stances, will go. Thus, for .instance,
there can be no question of the En-
tente claiming indemnity for the dam
age caused to state property in Bel
GUM and France, or for the ships sunk.

settlement of the question of war in

of 1t, and it would be ridiculous to
