HUN is HEARD AGAIN
Brockdorn- Rantzau Says His Is Most
Democratic Government in World.


G Weimar. FEB. 25.-G ermany must
depend upon the league of nations for
future peace, at home and abroad,
and urges that the league should have
a more democratic basis, Foreign Min
lister Brockdorff- Rantzau declared in
an interview here today. He said
Germany is already qualified for MEM
bership because she now has the most
democratic government in the world.
president Wilson's preamble to the
league of nations constitution was not
too optimistic, said the foreign minis
ter. His faith in the moral forces of
public opinion is justified. However,
the league should have a more demo-
cratic basis. Thus far it is little more
than a defensive alliance.s 1t may be
good enough for the allies but it is not
good enough for. Germany, which is
now obliged to depend upon the league
for future peace, at home and abroad.
Germany is qualified for membership
In the league because she is the most
democratic nation in the world.
We will make our delegates to the
peace conference as representative as
possible.
The league provision for publica-
tion of treaties is a long step forward"
