Bethmann-Holiweg Tells Why German Effort For Separate Pact Was Failure.
TIrr von Ithmann-IIollwec. former German chancellor, haa nddrrsse.1 to Prof. Hans Deltruck, editor of the Preusslsche Jahrbücher, the following letter, dated Sept. 20, 1919, which Is published In tho current number of Prof. Delbruck's review. I1Y IIJTRH VON TU TTI Ty I A XX -HOLLWIXi. Former German Chanorllor. Ill' RUN". Nov. 22. You ak me for Information concerning the German offer of peace to P.upsia In the year 1315, of which Dr. Wilhelm Fpickrrnasel speaks In the Hamburerr Nachrichten for Sept. 17. I will Kladly give you tho information as war as It Is possible to do fo without behuT able to consult official documents and without violating discretion vls-avl? certain non-German personages In prominent positions. The statements made, by Dr. Spicktrnajrel aro erroneous in almost all ssentlal points. In the first place, the contributor to tho Hamburger N'arhrlchten is wrong when he -tat es that It was only at the lnstlgaion of tho supreme command of the army iha, attempts were made to ascertain reeling In St. Petersburg in July. 1315, concerning the possibility of making peace. As a matter of fact, we had sound-f-d St. Petersburg long before July of the said year through several ln-I'-rmedlanes. In regard particularly to the mission of M. Anderson, tho Danish councillor of state, mentioned In the article, the efforts made by '.his man of great merit, with our (vno-vledgo and encouragement, were started In the beginning of the year 1315. His visdt to St. Petersburg in July wa not bis Hrst, but the truth s that this visit was as ineffectual is were his previous Journeys to the fiuFslan capital. It Is, however, not :rue that at that time ;i favorable :asis for negotiations existed. On :he contrarj', it transpired that our nilitary successes were not assessed - highly in St. Petersburg as to iustify entrance into negotiations "r a separate peart-. (auir's limine. The czar held firmly to the fact hat he was bound by his word to vonclude peace only conjointly with :!s allies. Military circles would
tt contemplate peace with Germany .
; n t i i we were destroyed. Public pinion looked wholly to the wnstrn ro'.vers. and rejected with hor-
r the idea of rapprochement. M. 1 -azonoff, the director of Kussian ,
oreign policy, wno noteu soielj' m ucordanee with the suggestions of '.ondon and Pari-, dared not speak i word which sounded like peace. The whole Impression gained by ."ouncillor Amlerson was that the hychological moment for negotiuinns had, at any rate then, not ar!V'(1. No real "offer of peace" therefore .. as possible. We had. however, expressly let it c Known in St. Petersburg that we .. ti- ready to conclude with Russia i n absolutely fair peace which would be a security for the future. ti I which, while safeguarding eighborly Interests, would take fuly into account the rights and natural vital conditions of Russia. We

It is pointed out correctly in the ar- '' lie'e in the Hamburger Nachrichten! XA.il our peace freier was known at -nce In England. The Russian ITi ss, too. very t;ui.kly adopted a decided attitude against rapproche- i merit. Strong speeches were dellv- i red in the duma, and on Aug. 11 ! the whole affair was concluded by! tb.e ileclsion of the Russian minis- i t ri.il council held under the presidency of the czar; as was stated in . t)i Russian teml-o;Ticl?l press, "the! ilocislon formerly arrived at. that It '
a problem In the organization and operation of councils of wage earners and employers In many lines of industry. The national assembly or tho reichstag will be called upon to determine whether such councils shall be made compulsory by law. This is regarded hero as one of the most difllcult question confronting the legislators of tho republic. The committee on lndutsrlal councils of the national assembly has approved a draft of a proposed law by which a council of employes v.-ould be compulsory in every business establishment employing more than 20 persons. Kxprcss Doubt of Success. German newspapers express grave d-.ubt as to whether the council system will prove a success and assert that tho newspaper industry is threatened with strikes because of personal political differences among their employes. The plan of permitting councils of employes to have a voice in the control of industries was sponsored and originated by the majority socialist party. Recently their own plan has reacted against them for the Independent socialists have obtained control of tho employes' councils In some metal working plants and have ruled that majority socialists must be dismissed. When tYmC employers endeavored to assert the principle that they should hire men for what they could do, not because of the'.r politics, the independents replied that it would be better for members of one political faith only to be employed in a factory so that no time would be lost in political arguments. Against AYomoii Workers. The councils in two of these metal working ehops have unanimously voted that members of only one party shall be employed in those establishments. The trend om many of the councils is frankly directed against the employment of women In positions which men can fill. Tho council of one of the leading hotels in Berlin is composed of a waiter, painter and a fireman. It recently demanded the dlssmissal of a married woman who with hr husband worked in the hotel, on the ground that both should not draw salaries. After the woman protested, the demand was withdrawn but the council has compelled the manager of the hotel to dismiss two competent women employes and replaced them with men.
