How Germany Stands. Whether Germany eventually shall be admitted to this economic associa- tion, declared the British. minister, vill be determined by the test estab- hed by President Wilson, when the president said on Dec. 4 that if the German people should still, after the war was over, “continue to be obliged to live under ambitious and intriguing masters interested to disturb the peace of the world” it might be impossible to admit them to the partnership of the nations or to free economic inter- course. Lord Robert described this state- ment by the president as a definition of the qualifications for membership in the association of nations, ang added: “To this declaration we give our warmest assent.” Germany an Obstacle. Germany is the one obstacle to this econeric association of nations, said Lord Robert—t Germany described y President Wilson—a Germany liv- ing under amb and intriguing masters. rmany’s economic policy toward all the groups of people from the Arctic ocean to the Black sea,” he continued, “is absolutely contral to our principles. Economic indepen- dence and free choice are the last things which Germany will ever allow to the peoples within her reach. “So long as this is the policy of Germany, how can we admit her to membership in the free association of nations {0 which we already belong?" asked Lord Robert. “Befora we can offer her any participation in our re- sources we must release her victims from the econom: very that she is imposing upon them. - Economic Principles. With rezard to the economic princi- ples of this association of nation Lord Robert said President Wilson had on Jan. § “stated them in memorable words when he advocated the removal so0 far as possible of all economic bar- riers and the establishment of an equality of trade among the nations consenting to peace.and .associating themselves for its maintenance.” After giving armest assent” to these declarations of the president; Leord Robert added: Protective Tariffs. “But do these declarations necessa- rily mean that we—the association of nations- have protective tariffs in inte ional competition in trade after the war? No. Everyone is agreed to that. In the words of the program of the inter-allied labor con- ference, ‘thc right of each nation to the defense of own economic interests and to the conservation of a sufficiency of foodstuffs and materials cannot be denicd.
