Newspaper Page Text9 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JUNE .17, 1917. ENTENTE CARVED 111 TEUTON PEACE PLAN German Censor Passes Pro . gramme of Delegation to V. Stockholm Meeting." ARMED STEAMERS OPPOSED Stopping of Enemy Communications, food and Clothing Material Are Other Things Objected To by Socialist-Democrats. XXXDO!V. June 16. The peace terms proposed by the German majority So cialists in the interchange of views now in progress in Stockholm reached London today, deriving special interest from the fact that a telegram setting forth these terms was passed by the German censor. The peace terme of the German So cialists given in reply to the Dutch Scandinavian committee's question, re specting their attitude toward peace, as forwarded in a Reuter dispatch from Stockholm, set forth first of all that the German Social Democracy desires peace based on mutual under standing and condemns violation of other nation's vital interests. Start ing with this fundamental principle, Germany's Social Democrats agree with the proposal of the Russian Council of Soldiers' and Workmen's Delegates for a peace without annexations or in demnities, based on the right of all nations to determine their own fate. Pay- for Damngre Opposed. Rejection of annexation, the reply says, implies a demand for the resti tution of conquered colonies and the restitution of countries which have lost their independence by the war. The delegation repudiates the pro posed compensation for damages suf fered by war, as have been caused by the military operations of both friends and enemies. States unable from their own resources to restore economic con ditions should have international help, which should be mutually agreed upon. Belgium, Serbia and other states that have lost their independence should regain it compltely. The German del egation demands recognition of the claims to independence made by Kin land and Russian Poland. Respecting Ireland, Egypt, Tripoli, Morocco, India, Tibet, Corea and other formerly independent countries, the delegation desires the Socialists in the nations ruling them to endeavor to free them from foreign control. LansnaKe Freedom Favored, In the case of nationalities with dis tinctive languages, which are united to large states, such as the Poles. Danes and French in Germany, the delegation demands for them full privileges re garding their racial culture and the use of their languages within the state. . The opinion of the Austro-Hungarlan delegation regarding Alsace-Lorraine is supported by the Germans. They state that this territory newer has been independent and cannot be considered a separate nationality, and furthermore that it cannot be included among the countries control of which has changed during the war. The historical right of France to the provinces is denied, but the delegation demands for them full equality as a self-governing unit of the German empire. In outlining their proposals, the Ger man delegates point out that the prin ciple of -peace without annexation does not exclude friendly adjustments of frontiers of one character or another. Arm Ins; of Steamers Decried. The delegation suggests various measures for assuring a. permanent peace, including the following: Kstablishment of an obligatory In ternational arbitration Court and a su perior international Judicial organiza tion. Restriction of armaments, provided for in the peace agreement. It is pro posed each country should have a na tional army for protection against at tack, but that the perioll of training should be fixed internationally, as well as the means and measures of war which may be employed. The capture of merchantmen at sea and the arming of merchantmen to be forbidden. Important channels and inter oceanic canals to be placed under in ternational control. Contraband to be determined inter nationally, excluding food and clothing (stuffs from the contraband list. Postal communications between com batants and neutrals not to be inter rupted. War not to be followed b commer cial war. Abolition of protective duties. The open-door policy for colonies. Arrangement of international lr.bor questions in accordance with the In ternational Trades Union programme. Secret diplomacy to be replaced by parliamentary control. BONDS IGNORED BY MAYOR Chicago Executive Admits lie Is Xol Purchaser. CHICAGO. June 16. Mayor Thomp son apparently did not purchase a lib erty bond. The Mayor's backwardness in inviting Marshal Joffre to Chicago on the grounds that "Chicago is the sixth city of the world in German pop ulation" lent peculiar interest to his position on the loan. It required four days to get a permit for canvassers to el bonds In the City Hall. - Iaily thereafter reporters daily lieckled him as to whether he had bought a bond. Daily the reply was silence or "no." Yesterday, 25 minutes before the books closed, the Mayor was asked the usual question. He again replied no. Progress of the War'.

A week ago Saturday the men of these companies, as well as virtually all in training at the camp, were lined out in front of the barracks in alpha betical order as their names were called on the pay roster. But no money was forthcoming. They received the assurance that they would be paid out of "appropriations "yet to be made." Today they went a little further and signed the payroll itself, but did not see the money for which they were signing.
