By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, February 29.—Forelgn Minister Stresemann pointed to the commercial treaty with the United States as one of Germany's achieve- ments when he spoke yesterday in de- fense of the government’s policy dur- ing a debote In the reichstag on the special emergency ordinances which the left parties have attacked. He thought it likely the treaty soon would be ratified In Washington, de- spite the opposition which centered on certain clauses which some Americans thought might hinder the development of their merchant ma- rine. As a whole the treaty was sat- isfactory to Germany, he sald, and had been welcomed as a hopeful sign that relations between the two coun- tries would be resumed upon a sound and lasting basis. He took it for granted the treaty would be ratified by the reichstag in proper time. American Relief to Germany. Herr Stresemann referred to the aid offered Germany by foreisn re- lief organizations, especially those of North, Central and South America, saying that all these natlons had done in the time of their need was fully aprpeclated by the German peo- P! e. Opening his speech, the forelgn minister referred to the vacant diplo- matic_posts abroad and announced that the legation at Havana would be maintained and said it would be nec- essary to appoint a consul general to the Irish Free State, owing to the fa- Yorable development of trade with Ireland. Expressing hopefulness of the re- sults of the labors of the experts com- mittees, he sald they would recognize how erroncous has been the assump- tion that Germany had almed at fraudulent bankrupt Polnts to Germany's Policy. Alluding to reports that the experts mend an_international crmany, he remarked that Germany must have full control over the economic and taxable resources of the state while the unity of the German rallways must be restored. Taking up the question of foreign purticipation in German industrial en- terprises, Herr Stresemann could see no objection to foreign participation on boards of directors of such enter- priges, provided they were not in a majority and that the business char- acter of such representation was maintained He hoped a speedy settlement would be reached between French and Ger- man industrialists in the occupied re- glons. Ready to Settle Heparations Issue. Expressing German readiness to settle the reparation problem, he sald “We cannot, however, conclude a peace with France, because we are the debtors of the allied powers, but we would welcome any activity of the allied powers concerning repara- tions which would take into account France's special financial needs.” In conclusion, the foreign minister ®aid there was no invitation to enter the league of nations In any re- sponsible quarter, but should the question become acute Germany must satisfy herself whether guarantees would be given to treat her as full member of the league, free from spe- cial or humiliating conditions, and whether—which was a matter of great importance for Germany—the league would be comprised of ail nations, especlally all European na- tions.

NEW YORK, February 20.—Inti- mate and warmly human side lights on the personality of George Wash- ington as a young man, & soldler, a | statesman and head of a family are revealed in letters written by the father of his country, now in the possession of the Plerpont Morgan Library, which has been turned over to the public by J. P. Morgan as a Ppermanent memorial to his father. In a letter written September 23, 1756, to Mrs. George Willlam Falrfax, he sald, in part: “I have sent a plece of Irish linen, a plece of Cambrick and a shirt to measure by. The shirt fits tolerably well, vet I would have this made with somewhat narrow wristbands; ruffles larger by one-half an inch and the collars by three-quarters of an inch, which fs in other respects of proper bigness. If Miss Nancy will do me the favor to get thread and buttons sultable it will' oblige .me much. I have really forgotten to procure them myself.” Feels Money Shortage. In marked contrast is a letter writ- ten in 1789 from Mount Vernon to Capt. Conway: “Never till within these two years have 1 experienced the want of money. Short crops and other causes not entirely within my control make me feel it now very terribly. Under this statement I am inclined to what 1 never expected to be reduced to the necessity of doing—that is, to borrow money on interest. Five hun- dred pounds would enable me to dis- charge what 1 owe in Alexandria, Va. * * ¢ Having thus fully and candidly expressed myself, permit me to ask whether it {s within your power to supply me with the above or a smaller sum. In more cheerful vein is the letter dated February 10, 1796, to Miss Eliz- parke Curtls, his stepdaughter * * assure you that if Mr, Law is the man of your choice, of which there can be no doubt, as he had merits to engage you affections, and you have declared that he has not only done o, but that after care- ful examination of your heart you cannot be happy without him—that your alllance with him meets my appreciation. Yes, Betsy, this appro- bation is accompanied with my fer- vent wishes that you may be as happy in this important event as your most sanguine imagination has ever presented to view.

Among the letters are a lock of Washington's hair, a piece of lace and one of silk from Martha Wash- ington’s wedding dress. Describing the surrender of York- town to Gen. Greene, in 1782, he sald: “This proposition ® * * led to definite capitulation, which was signed on the 19th, in which his lord- ship surrenders himself and troops prisoners of war to the American Army; marched out with colors cased and drums beating a British march to & post in front of their lines; here their arms were grounded, the pubiic stores, arms lowered, military chests, etc., delivered to the American Army: the’ ships, with their guns, tackie, apparel, etc., with the seamen, sur- rendered to the Naval Army under Count de Grasse; Lord Cornwallis, with a number of his officers, to have liberty to go on parole to Europe, New York or any other American mari- time post in possession of the Brit- ish forces at their option; his troops to be kept in Virginia, Maryland or Pennsylvania. These are the prin- cipal articles.” Appeals for Lafayette. Ten years later, Washington, at Mount Vernon, wrote to James Madi- son of his intention to retire from public life and requested him to write a valedictory address for him to the public and outling what he would like to have incorporated in it.
