cal, moral and intellectua. paralysis
of the German people; that Ger
mans We're hypnoti2ed" by state
ments made by President Wilson
and that he himself is lokoing for
ward to the future with gravest
apprehensions, President Ebert said
today that he still hoped that Ameri-
can democracy would not accept the
treaty framed at the peace confer
ence. He rejected with disdain the
suggestion that the present German
government would resign rather than
accept or reject the terms, saying
that the government would hold out
to the end"
when in the course of 200 years"
he asked, was ever peace offered
a defeated people which SO complete
ly contemplated its physical, moral
and intellectual paralysis as do the
terms enunciated at Versailles?
In his message to congress Dec
4, 1917, President Wilson said The
frightful injustice committed in the
course Of this war must not be made
good by wishing a similar Injustice !
on Germany and her allies. The
world would not tolerate the com
mission Of similar injustice as re-
prisal and realignment
I'm his message to congress re-
ferred to in the foregoing paragraph

state of war be declared to exist

said; HThe wrongs, the very deep
wrongs committed in this war must
be righted That of course But
hey cannot and must not be right

Of Mr.. Wilson's pro

ciously cling to the faith which

The president added that he and

Germans for the "immodest haste
With which they are digging up
