GES CHANCELLOR STATES GERMAN PEACE PROPOSALS | German Fe Says This Will Be Agreed to in the Counter Proposals. FAVORS DISARMAMENT. Insists That Order to Carry Out Pledge. (Coveright, 1010. by the United Prem.) RERLIN, May 27.—Chanccllor Scheidemann has informed the United Press that Germany's coun- Ler-proposals to the peace terms will demand immediate admission of Ger- many to tho League of Nations. “We designated the Allies’ terms as unacceptable in their present form,” said Scheidemann, “Now we must use our entire strength and ability n bebmif of our counter-proposals. They do not seek to remove our hard obligations. “They place foremost the needs of France which requires rebuild- ing, and alleviation of its war burdens, if it is not to become bankrupt. Therefore we offer un- reservedly >to rebuild the de- stroyed territory of Northern France and te give full reparation for the output of the coal mines which were destroyed. “We go even farther than it was .ssumed we would go, The financial experts of the world will be astound- ed by that. “As far as our counter~proposals concern Belgsum, they are in agree- ment with President Wilson's pro- sramme. We accept the prescribed re- auction in disarmament to an army of 100,000; and we are pre- pared for complete disarmament on land and sea if the other na- tions will a to do likewise. We are desirous of freeing France from military cares and burdens. We can do all these things only it the means of paying for them rough work aro provided. If one reads Clemenceau's note one almost oves hope that it is realized that only he who works can pay.” ~ Regarding Clemenceau's reply to previous German communications, in which the French Premier declared Germany would not go hungry even f edme of its food producing terri- lortes were taken away, as it would still be possible to import foodstuffs from them, the Chancellor pointed out hat Germany couldn't buy grain and potatoes with paper money of no value outside Germany, He also as- serted it would be most dificult to “restore German industries when vast quantities of coal must be brought in from outside, and when most of the productive territories of the east were torn away from the fatherland without the privilege of self-deter- mination, “We must withdraw from jead y clrole if the Entente repi ‘ation, and it is with this pur- that our counter-proposals are this desires “ 109 “t forward,” Scheidemann de- “~ .ared. “One dare not take the tools (Continued op RA en or GERMANY TO REBUILD FRANCE RESTORE RUINED BELGIUM, Of SCHEDEMANN Germans Must | Have Means of Working in | 6118 Am PaASseD STATION 10.40 AM NEW YoRm Tine PASSED STATION® 554m Passeo Sta rion hig, REPORT Passto STATION @| 8.04 Am Passen STATION PAE Stats Th th Amy PASSED sTaTION-D 7.3 Am, PASSED sTaTIOn® 10.05.44 ‘LLOYD GEORGE COMING GEORGE COMING TO U.
