Appease Russia With Ofier Copenhagen, Via London, April 17. —A plebiscite. for the population of the new kingdom of Poland, naturally | without the inclusion of the German Polish areas, to determine whether the kingdom shall detach itself from Russia and establish a buffer state be- tween Russia and Germany, may possibly be the basis of the latest Austro-German peace offer to Russia, as far as German aspirations in the east are concerned, Austria-Hungary seems from the wording of recent outgivings clearly to have abandoned all plans for an- nexation which developed during the war. The German allusions to the subject are less specifically phrased. The significant wording of an article in the socialist newspaper Vorwaerts, now sonsidered to speak with au- thority, however, gives a clue to the solution which the German govern- ment apparently! has in mind as be- tween the soclalist demand for peace without annexations or indemnities and the insistence of ather phrties for a peace which would compensate Ger- aaaay partly for her sacrifices in blood ’ Ul and treasure and “assure a rafe future for the German Empire,” as the catch phrase of both the pan-German an- i nexationists and the government has it. » Hollweg Between Two Fires. The avoidance in the statement in xhe semi-official Narth German Ga- zette of an expressed disclaimer of i annexation purposes or of any definite mention of a compromise whereby the jidea of a “satisfied neighbor” in the east might be reconciled with . the often expressed views of the necessity of securing the future safety of the empire, may be casily understood in view of Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg's diffieult position as between the soclalists and wavering Austrians on the one hand and his own promises to insist on a.dcqunte compensatian on the other. Vorwaerts, however, is hampered by no such embarrassments ,and its leading article speaks openly of the results of negotiations between the socialists and the government which have been going forward. “We have reason to belleve,” the newspaper says in referring to the socialist stand for a peace without an- nexations or conquests or humiliation for any nation and for giving every race the right to decide its own des- tinies, “that the government recog- nizes the justice of this standpoint and honestly desires to terminate the war by negotiatians in which the powers would participate on the basis of full equality With every thought of en- forced cessions of territory excluded.” The words “enforced cessions of ter- ritory” are heavily italicized and evi- dently give the key to the article, which raises the idea of a volurfarv institution of Polish independence in accordance with the principles of the Russian radical socialists, with such a solution attained, could argue that a necessary buffer state, to prevent Russian aggression in the future had been set up thereby, and that Ger- many, through it, had obtained at least some compenntlon for the cost of the war. Cannot Ignore Peace Suggestion. Subsequent paragraphs in the Vor- waerts declare that ance the idea of a peace conference is accepted, the Ger- man government dares as little as any other government to justify an aban- donment of the nagotiations on the ground that it could not get through this or that demand for annexation. Peace, therefore, is inevitable l‘L ‘peace conference is convoked, the newspaper says. The Norddeutcher Allegmeine. Zel- tung contains further confirmations of a recent Assoclated Press despatch on the negotiations between the socialists and the government, namely that the socialists have secured a promise from the government to undertake no offensive on the Russian front for the time being, but to leave the Rus- sians in quiet, either to develop an understanding between the Russo- German socialists, or in default of this, to permit the growth of the lack of harmony between the radicals and the provisional government in Russia. Aside from the Vorwaerts, the Ber- 1in and Hamburg papers generally ab- stained on Sunday from comment on the peace overtures, though the Tageszeitung in a timely article based on earlier overtures by the Austrian socialists to the Russian socialists, de- clares it to be the height of unwis- dom ta run after the Russian with stormy offers of peace. The newspaper expresses anger at the Austrian soclalists for venturing to suggest to the German government the advisability of taking energetic steps toward peace.
