force, and in every case the trans
fer will only take place as the result
OF decision of the habitants
themselves, taken under Conditions
which will insure complete freedom
to vote
Finally, the Allied and associated
powers are satisfied that the native
inhabitants of the German colonies
are strongly opposed to being again
brought under Germany's sway; and
the record Of German rule, the tradi-
tions of the German government, and
the use to which these colonies were
put as bases from which to prey upon
the commerce Of the world, make it
impossible for the Allied and asso-
ciated powers to return them to Ger
many, or to intrust to her response
bility for the training and education
of their inhabitants
For these reasons the Allied and
associated powers are satisfied that
their territorial proposals are both
in accord with the agreed basis of
peace and are necessary to the fu-
ture peace of Europe. They are,
therefore, not prepared to modify
them except in the respects laid
down.
1t is their desire that the passions
engendered by the war should die
as soon as possible, and that all ma
tions should share in the prosperity
which comes from the honest supply
of mutual needs. They wish that
Germany shall enjoy this prosperity
like the rest, though much of the
fruit Of it must necessarily go for
many years to come in making repa-
ration to her neighbors for the dam
age she has done In order to make
their intention clear number of
notifications have been made in the
financial and economic clauses of the
treaty. But the principles upon
which the treaty is drawn must
stand.

cal Clauses
Belgium,

The territories of Eupen and NAL
medy, separated from Belgian terri
tories in 1914 without consideration of
the people, have continued in close re-
lations with Belgium, despite CEN
tury of Prussianiza ton, and at the
same time have been made basis for
German militarism by construction of
the great camp at Elsenborn and vari-
Gus strtegic railroads directed against
Belgium. The reunion of these terri
tories with Belgium seems justified if
petitions to this effect are sufficiently
supported by the population in a pleb
iscite held under the auspices of the
league Of nations. The German claim
for neutralized Moresnet is wholly JUS
tilted while the communal woods in
Prussian Moresnet are awarded to Bel

ciuL Clauses

The German delegation appears to
have seriously misinterpreted the
proposals Of the Allied and associ-
ated powers. There Is no intention
on the part Of the Allied and asso-
ciated powers to strangle Germany or
to prevent her from taking her prop
er place in international trade and
commerce, provided that she abides
by the treaty Of peace and provided
also that che abandons those az.
Hressive and exclusive traditions
which have been apparent in her
business no less than her political
methods. The Allied and associated
powers intend that Germany shall
have fair treatment in the purchase
OF raw materials and the sale of
goods, subject to those temporary
provisions already mentioned in the
New-York tribune., 1919-06-17


the treaty now amended. If they
declare within the period that they
are prepared to sign the treaty as it
stands arrangements will be made
for the immediate signature of the
peace at Versailles. In default of
such a declaration, this communica-
tion constitutes the notification pro-
vided for in Article XII of the con-
vention of February 16, 1919, pro-
longing the armistice signed on No
vember II, 1918, and again prolonged
oy the agreement of December 13,
1918, and January 16, 1919. The said
armistice will then terminate and
the Allied and associated powers will
take such steps as they think need
ful to force their terms.

to suit new facts and new conditions
as they arise. 1t is, frankly. not
based upon a general condonation Of
the events of 1914-18. It would not
be peace of justice if it were. But
1T represents sincere and deliber-
ate attempt to establish that reign
OF law, based upon the consent of
the governed, and sustained by the
organized opinion of mankind"
which was the agreed basis of the
peace.
AS such the treaty in It's present
form must be accepted or rejected.
The Allied and associated powers
therefore require a declaration from
the German delegation within five
days that they are prepared to sign
New-York tribune., 1919-06-17
V-League of Nations

The Allied and associated powers
have given careful consideration to
the request of the German delegation
that Germany should be admitted to
the league of nations as one of the
conditions of peace. They are un-
able to accede to this request. The
German revolution was postponed to
the last moment of the war, and
there Is as yet no guarantees that it
represents permanent change In
the present temper of international
feeling, it is impossible to expect the
free nations of the world to sit down
Immediately in equal association with
those by whom they have been so
previously wronged. To attempt this
too soon would delay and not hasten
that process of appeasement which
all desire.
But the Allied and associated
powers believe that if the German
people prove by their acts that they
intend to fulfil the conditions of
the peace, and that they have aban-
doned forever those aggressive and
estranging policies which caused the
war, and have now become people
with whom it is possible to live in
neighborly good fellowship, the
memories of these past years will
speedily fade and it will be possible
at an early date to complete the
league Of nations by the admission
of Germany thereto.
1t is their earnest hope that this
may be the case. They believe that
the prospects of the world depend
upon the close and friendly CO.
operation Of all nations in adjusting
international questions and promot-
ing the welfare and progress Of man
kind. But the early entry of Ger
many into the league must depend
principally upon the action of the
German people them selves
New-York tribune., 1919-06-17
VReparmion

The German delegation has
greatly misinterpret the repara-
tion proposals of the treaty. These
proposals confne the amounts pay
able by Germany to what is clearly
Justifiable under the terms of the
armistice in respect of damage
caused to the civilian population of
the Allies by the aggression of Ger
many. They do not provide for that
interference in the internal life of
Germany by the reparation commits
sion which is alleged. They are de-
signed to make the payment Of that
reparation which Germany must
make as easy and convenient to both
parties as possible, and they will be
interpreted in that sense. The Al
lied and associated powers, there
fore, are not prepared to modify
them.
But they recognize with the Ger
man delegation the advantage of
arriving as soon as possible at the
fixed and definite sum which shall be
payable by Germany and accepted by
the Allies. 1t is not possible to fix
this sum to-day, for the extent of
damage and the cost of repair have
not yet been ascertained. They are,
therefore, willing to accord to Ger
many all necessary and reasonable
facilities to enable her to survey the
devastated and damaged regions and
to make proposals thereafter within
four months of the signing of the
treaty or settlement Of the claims
under each of the categories of dam
age for which she is liable. If with
in the following two months an
agreement can be reached \the exact
liability of Germany will have been
ascertained. If agreement has not
been reached by then, the arrange
ment as provided in the treaty will
be executed.

New-York tribune., 1919-06-17

GUM IN partial compensation for the
destruction of Belgian forests.
SchlesUig
The plebiscite in northern Schleswig
promised by Prussia by treaty after
Its seizure in 1864, but never granted,
is now assured on the request of Den
mark and the people concerned. Ter
rltory as far a S the Elder and the Schlei
is to be evacuated by the Germans and
administered by the residents on the
spot with no other preoccupation but
their own welfare, and at the end of
fifteen years will be free to choose the
sovereignty under which they prefer
to continue.
ALsace-LOrraine
A plebiscite for Alsace-Lorraine
cannot be admitted, because the
whole purpose Of the provisions in
regard to these provinces has been
so far as possible to repair the in
justice committed in 1871, as agreed
to by Germany, and to restore the
situation then prevailing, so far as
it is possible after fifty years of
suffering. The will of the inhabi-
tants has been amply attested by the
unanimous protests against annexa-
tion voiced by their representatives
at Bordeaux in 1871, and repeated
many other times since, even at the
cost of their own tranquility and inter-
ests. There is no intention of ap-
plying the general principle of the
treaty that states taking over ceded
territory should bear part of the
public debt of the ceding state and
pay for the public property, as it is
intended France should recover these
provinces without prejudice.
Luxembourg
The German observations on Lux
embourg require no answer, because
of two incontrovertible facts-Ger
many's violation of her neutrality
and Luxembourg's denunciation of
the eastern union.
Austria
Germanys declaration that she
"has never had and will never have
the intention of changing by vio-
lence the frontier between Germany
and Austria" is noted.
Russia
None of the German observations
on Russia require change in the
treaty.
The Saar
No alteration is permissible in the
Saar terms. The Allied and asso-
ciated powers have sought to impose
for the destruction of the mines Of
Northern France a form of repara-
tion which, by its exceptional nature,
will for limited period be definite
and visible symbol. At the same
time they intend, by assuring them
selves of the immediate possession
of actual security, to escape the
risks to which the German memoir
itself has drawn attention. The in
terests of the inhabitants have, how
ever, been most scrupulously safe
guarded; they will live for the first
time since their forcible annexation
to Prussia and Bavaria.
The Eastern Frontiers
Two cardinal principles have been
ioiio"eu ih ueleiHllHlnS tne eastern
frontiers of Germany. First is the
special obligation to reestablish the
Polish nation in the independence of
which it was unjustly deprived more
than century ago. This was one
of the greatest wrongs of which his
tory has record, the memory and re-
suit of which have for long poisoned
