PULLAR & NIVEN GOMPLETE TEXT OF HERTLING'S SPEECH ARE | therefore, Chancellor | Generalities R Imperial ~ German Deals Most in Amsterdam, Feb. —Following is a full report of Chancellor von Hert- ling's speech in the Reichstag: | ‘The Reichstag has a right to re- | ceive an explanatory statement in re- | ard to the foreign situation and the attitude of the government concern- ing it. I will meet the obligation arising therefrom, even though I en- | tertain certain doubts as to the util-| ity and su of dialogues carried on | by ministers and statesmen of belli- | gerent countries. | Mr. Runciman in the House of Commons recently expressed the yopinion that we would get much| nearer peace, if instead of tlis, re- sponsible representatives of the bel- ligerent powers would come together in an intimate meeting for discus- sion. 1 can only agree with him that that would be the way to Temove numerous intentional and uninten- tional misunderstandings and com- pel our enemies to take our words as they are meant, and on their part also to show their colors. I cannot at any rate discover that the words which I spoke here on two occasions were received in hostile countries ob- jectively and without prejudic Moreover discussion in an intin gathering alone could lead to und standing on many individual ques- tions which can really be settled only by compromise. “It has been Tepeatedly said that | we do not contemplte retaining Bel- | gium, but that we must be safe- guarded from the danger of a country, with which we desire after the war to live in peace and friendship, becoming the object or the jumping, off ground of enemy machinations. | If, thercfore, a proposal came from the opposing side, for example from | the government in Havre, we should | not adopt an antagonistic attitude, | even though the discussion at firse might only be unbinding. “Meanwhile it does not if Mr. Runciman’s sugge chance of assum ngible and I must adhere to the e methods of dialogue across th nel and ocean. Wolson’s Four Principles, “Adopting this method, I admit that President Wilson's mes- sage of February 11 represents, per- haps, a small step towards a mut approachment. 1, therefore, p: over the prelim and excessively long declarations in order to addre myself immediately the four principles, which, in President Wil- son's opinion, must be applied in a mutual exchange of Views “The first clause says that each part of the final settlement must be based upon the essential justice of that particular case and upon such adjustment as most likely to bring peace that will be permanent. “Who would contradict this? The phrase coined by the great father of the church, Augustin, fifteen hundred vears ago—Justitia fundamentum regnortum’—is still valid today. Cer- tain it is that only peace based in all its parts on the principles of justice has a prospect of endurance. “The second clause expresses the desire that peoples and provinces shall not be bartered about from sov- ereignty to soverignty at if they te as appear s ion ¥ ting chans really | of the { a decision to be taken. | states { good pleasure v | game, even the great game, now for- | ever discredited, of the balance of power. “This clause, too, ditionally assented to. wonders that the president United States considered it sary to emphasize it anew. clause contains a polemic conditions long vanished, views against cabinet politics and cabinet wars, against mixing state territory and princely and private property, | which belong to a past that is far behind us, “I do not want to be discourteous, DUt remembers earlier ut- terances of Tresident Wilson, one might think that he is laboring under the illusion that there exists in Ger- many an antagonism between an autoeratic government and a mass of people without rights «And vet President W n knows = at any rate, the German edi- tion of his book on the state proves —_German political literature, and he knows therefore that with us princes nd governments are the highest members of the nation as a whole, organized in the form of a state, the highest members, with whom the final decision lies. But, seeing that they also, as the supreme organs, belong to the whole, the decision is of such a nature that only the welfare whole is the guiding line for It may be useful expressly to point this out to President Wilson’s countrymen, Fngland Accused. “Then finally, at the close of the second clause, the game of the bal- ance of power is declared to be for- ever discredited. We, too, can only gladly applaud. As is well known, it was England who invented the prin. ciple of the maintenance of the bal- ance of power, in grder, especially to apply it when ome of the states on the European continent threat- ened to become too powerful for her. It was only another expression for England’s domination. “The third clause, according to which every territorial settlement in- volved in this war must be made in the interest and for the benefit of the populations concerned, and not as part of any mere adjustment or compromise of claims among rival states, is only the application of the foregoing in a definite direction, or a deduction from it, and is, therefore, included in the assent given to that clause. “Now, in the fourth demands that all well tional aspirations shall the utmost satisfaction that can be accorded them without introducing new or perpetuating old elements of discord and antagonisms that would be likely in time to break the peace of Furope and consequently of the world. Here, also, I can give as- sent in principle, and I ith President Wilson, that a general peace on such a basis discussable. “Only one reservation is to be made. These principles must not be proposed by the president of the ‘be uncon- one can Indeed, of neces- against clause, he defined na- be accorded is the | This | declare, | have, therefore, name of hu- of as- other charac of creating interest of other bands.

Our military action, however, has produced a successg far exceeding the original aim. ‘News was received yesterday that Petrograd had accepted our condi- | tions and had sent its representatives | to Brest-Litovsk for further negotia- | tions. Accordingly, our delegates traveled thither last evening. It possible that there will still be dis- pute about the details, but the main thing has been achieved. The will to peace has been expre. an- nounced from the Russian s the conditions have been rted and the conclusion of peace must en- sue within a very short time. “To safeguard the fruits of peace with Ukraine, our army mand drew the sword. Peace Russia will be the happy result. Peace With Rumania. “Peace negotiations with Rumania began at Bucharest yesterday. It ap- reared necessary that Secretary von Kuehlmann should be present there during the first days when the foune dations were laid. Now, however, ha will presumably soon go to Brest- Litovsk. 1t is to be remembered re- garding negotiations with Rumania that we are not taking part in them alone and are under obligation to Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Tur- key, and to see to it that a com- promise is arranged there regard- ing any divergent desires that will possibly give rise to difficulties but these difficulties wil be overcome. With regard to Rumania, too, the guiding principle will be that we must, and desire to, convert into friends the states with which on the basis of the success of our army we now conclude peace. “I will say a word regarding Po- land, in behalf of whom the entente and President Wilson have recently appeared specially to interest them- selves. as a well-kown country lib- crated from opressive dependence on st Russia by the united forces of Germany and Austria-Hungary, for the purpose of establishing an inde- pendent state, which, in unrestricted developmet of its national culture, shall at the same time become a pil- lar of peace in Europe. “The constitutional the narrower sense th constitution the new ceive—could not. as is easily under- stood., be immediately decided, and is still in the stage of exhaustive dis- cussions between the three countries concerned. A fresh difficulty has been added to the many difficulties which have in this connection to he cvercome, difficulties cspecially in the economic domain in of the collapse of old Russia. our com- with problem—in question what ate shall re- is This United States alone, but they must | also be recognized definitely by all | and nations, President Wil- | who reproaches the German chancellor with a certain amount of backwardness, seems to me in his flight of ideas to have hurried far in advance of existing realities. “Certainly a League of Nations erected upon justice and mutual un- ifish appreciation, a condition of humanity in which war, together with all that remains of the earliest barbarism should have completely disappeared and in which there should be no bloody sacrifices, no sIf-mutilation of peoples, no truction of laboriously acquired cul- tural values—that would be an aim devoutly to be desired. “But that aim has not yet been reached. There does not yet exist a court of arbitration set up by all nations for the safeguarding of peace in the name of justice. When Presi- dent Wilson incidentally says that the German chancellor is speaking to the court of the entire world, I must, as things stand today, in the name of the Gierman empir® and her allies, decline this court as prejudiced, joy- fully as T would greet it if an impar- tial court of arbitration existed and gladly as I would co-operate to rea- lize such ideals. “Unfortunately, however, there is no trace of a similar state of mind on the part of the leading powers in the entente. England’s war aim, as re- ently expressed in Lloyd George's speeches, are still thoroughly imper- jalistic and want to impose on tho world a peace according to England’s ‘When England talks about people’s right of sélf-determin- ation she does not think of applying the principle to Ireland, Egypt India son, No Conquest of Russia. Declaring that the new German operations against Russia were taken at the request of the population to restore order, and that they did not aim at conquests, the chancellor con- tinued: yur war s from the beginning were the defense of the fatherland, the maintenance of our territorial in- tegrity and the nomic development. Our warfare, cven where it must be aggressive in action, is defensive in aim.

But the governments of the enemy states contrive ever anew to stir the war fury among their peoples. A contin- uation of the war to the utmost was, so far as has transpired, the most re- cent watchword issued by the confer- ence of Versailles, and in the English premier’s speeches it again finds loud ccho. There are however, other voices to be heard in England; it to be hoped that these voices multiply. The world now stands before the final d on. Either our enemies will decide to conclude peace—they Know on what conditions we are ready to begin a discussion—or they will con- tinue the insanity of their criminal war of conquest. “Or ‘people will hold fut further, but the blood of the fallen, the agonies of the mutilated and the &is- tress and sufferings of the peoples will fall on the heads of those who in- sistently refuse to listen to the voice of reason and humanity.” and that the will HAYS SEES ROOSEVELT. But Republican Leader Denies Talked Politics. New York, Feb. 27.—Will H. Hays, new chairman of the republican na- tional committee, had a half-hour conference with Col. Theodore Roose- velt yesterday at the hospital where the former president is convalescing from two operations which he under- went several weeks ago. Nothing wa forthcoming relative to the matters they discussed. In discussing his conference here with six former republican national chairmen, Mr. Hays said the visit had resulted in much that would be of benefit to him in the future guidance of the party’s policy. He said there was nothing of an official nature to announce at this time other than that the republican organization would be conducted along *safe and sane’ lines. In Washington he is to be the of the republican congressional sentatives at a dinner in his Ho guest repr: honor. Just hington, tulated before his departure for | Mr. Hays said he had | Col.
