WIRTH CHARGES BRIAND’S FACTS NOT BORNE OUT German Chancellor Presents Hun Viewpoint of Upper Silesian Affair. DENIES POLISH CLAIMS

BERLIN, May 26.—“1 share Premier Briand's wish that justice may prevail in the settlement of the Upper Silesian trouble,” said Chancellor Wirth, in an Interview replying to the speech of Premier Briand, in the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday. The Interview was printed today in the newspaper Deutsche Aligemelne Zeiturg. - Chancellor Wirth thus becomes the third cablret head in Europe to adopt the policy of "open diplomacy” by Premier Lloyd George of England, when he began to hurl public warnings at European powers concerning Upper Silesia. BATS BRIAND MISTAKES TACTS. “I gladly recognize Premier Briand's moderate tone, but it is necessary to correct some of the French premier's ■tntements of fact,’ continued Chancellor Wirth. "M. Briand declared that Germany ceased to own Silesia six hundred years ago. It is the truth that Poland conquered Silesia in war six hundred years ago. But later a Polish archduke peacefully renounced all rights to Silesia. Historically, Poland has no claim to Silesia. Secondly, there was the plebiscite in which Poland was defeated. Thirdly and morally. Poland can make no claim upon Silesia because she attempted violence when she could not secure the territory peacefully. Fourthly and Industrially, Poland has no claim because the Germans developed the Industries of Silesia. The Poles lack technical experts and could not maintain the Industries without German help.” TO DISSOLVE SECURITY POLICE. The interview was given out before Chancellor Wirth left Berlin for Bavaria to consult the Bavarian ministry upon disarmament. It is reported from Munich that the chancellor's trip has had ihe desired result and that the Bavarlau cabinet has decided unanimously to dissolve the Einwohnerwehr (security police) at once. The Berlin government had pledged the disbandment of this force together with all the other quasi-military polite forces when she signed the allied ultimatum of May 6. The immediate dissolution of the German free corps In Silesia is demanded by Hugo Stinnes’ newspaper, Daz. “We must avoid repeating the Baltic adventure with undisciplined, unpaid aud badly led troops,” said the newspaper. “They are endangering the land they are attempting to protect.”
