PARIS. MnWh 25. Germany is
determined to stick close to the Wil
son proernm in makine peace with the
allies. Count Von Bcmstorf f. former
German ambassador to the i.mtcd
States, dec nred in an interview given
the " Berlin correspondent of the
Temp. . ...
"The annistict of Xovemher H,"
snid Count Von Bernstorff, "was

had accepted the protrrnm of pence
proposed bv. President Wilson. Ger
many is determined to keep to this
asrrecment. which history will rceprd.
in n way. as the conclusion of a pre
liminary peace. She herself is ready
to submit to' the conditions arising
from it and she expects all the in
tcrested powers to do the same. If
these essential conditions of the Wil
son program should be violated or
neglected, and apparently it condi
t'ons are imposed which go beyond
the program, the German delegates,
unfortunately find themselves in a
position of say, non-possumus."- -'
. "Germany's attitude on indemni
ties." continued the fqrmer ambassa
dor, "is fixed bv her acceptance of
the note of November 5. 1918, where
bv reparation is accorded for all dam
age done to the civil populations of
France and Belgium bv German ag
gression. This note admits of the
payment of no other indemnities." ;
'.'''' Stimulate Bolshevism' '
Asked what the consequences would
be of the failure, to sign a., peace.
Count Von Bernstorff replied:
"1 am no prophet, but Bolshevism
would gain immensely. The liberal
world which has seen salvation for
humanity in President Wilson's prin
ciples, would be terribly disappoint
ed if peace were not made. Even the
higher classes would be driven to de
spair. Remember that since the mid
dle ages no idea has aroused the
world's enthusiasm like a league of
nations based on peace and iustice.
and who will dare to cause the idea
to miscarry at the first test f I hope
that a league of all the nations of the
world will make common cause
against the spectre of Bolshevism and
triumph over it."

elements in America can prevent tho
spread of Bolshevism in this country
by recognizing the right of labpr to

they can halt the revolutionary prop

will exist. Labor unions will prevent

ed, for tho working pcoplo roulizn
