World Peace Offered
BY German Premier
Copyright, 1sec. by International News


(Copyright, 1872. by international News
Service.)
The new German government,
headed by DR.. Wilhelm Cuno, has
formally proposed to the principal
world powers new peace pact,
built out Of the ashes OF the world
and designed to maintain the peace
Of Europe for the next thirty years
by mutual agreement, 1t was learn
ed authoritatively here today.
Germany has proposed, in effect,
that Great Britain, France, Italy
and Germany herself, enter into a
four-power pact to observe and pre-
serve for the next thirty years
European boundaries as they exist
today.
While not a direct party to the
proposed pact, Germany has laid the
proposition before the United States
Government for approval, and, in
fact, Is believed to have asked the
American Government to act in an
Intermediary capacity in presenting
the proposition to the chancelleries
in London, Paris and Rome, accord
ing to information obtained here to.
day.
The full details of the German
proposition were not obtained here
today, nor could II be learned
whether the United States has actu'
ally consented to approach the chief
European powers on the proposition,
but officials displayed familiarity
with the entire matter.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-German
proposals, submitted to Secretary
of State Charles E. Hughes,
through the Ere nch Ambassador
at Washington, 20 guarantee the
German frontier for thirty years,
have been turned down by Pre-
mier Poincare, of France, it was
learned here this afternoon in
the most authoritative quarters.
Fears Faxed Referendum.
Details Of the program are not
officially known, but 1t is under
stood Germany proposed, through
Jules Jusserand. French ambassa-
dor to the United States, that Great
Britain, France. Germany and Italy
enter into a quadruple pact to guar.
antee the German boundaries for
thirty years.
Germany's offer was reported to
propose maintenance of the present
frontier subject to withdrawal from
the pact by any power after a ma.
tional referendum.
Premier Poincare was said to
have declined the proposals on the
ground that the French constitution
did not provide for any such ref
erendum. The French premier was
understood to have taken the stand
that Germany might attempt to
evade her obligations under the
agreement through a faxed ref
erendum.
