WHAT IT MEANS—
NAZI PEACE
FEELERS
By HERMAN R. ALLEN
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Nazi
propagandists have been throw
ing out suggestions that the war
be halted now “to save useless
bloodshed.” In return for doing
the Allies the "favor” of ceasing
hostilities the Germans suggest
that certain concessions be made
to them.
The reaction in Allied official
circles to all suggestions of a ne
gotiated peace has always been
the same—nothing short of un
conditional surrender will be sat
isfactory.
What does unconditional sur
render mean? It means exactly
what it says: That Germany must
lay down her arms and accept
whatever the Allies choose to
give her. There may be no ifs,
ands, or buts—no “we’ll surren
der if you’ll let us keep part of
Czechoslovakia” or comparable
deals.
It is interesting to recall the
circumstances of Germany’s col
lapse in 1918 and the maneuvers
she went through trying to pre
pare a soft spot to light on. It is
not unlikely we will see some
more of the same this time.
Wilson's 14 Points
It is true that technically the
first World War did not end with
Germany’s uncondiional surren
der. The amistice was negotiated
with the understanding that peace
should be settled on the basis of
Wilson’s 14 points, but these were
our conditions—not Germany’s.
Andre Tardieu, the French
journalist and statesman, wrote:
“The armistice marked the capit
ulation of the enemy, a capitula
tion which was an unconditional
S surrender.”
The enemy began angling for
peace as early as December 12,
1916. Wilson himself suggested a ;
peace program two days later—
before this country was in the |
war. There were other proposals,
from both sides, throughout 1917.
Then, on January 8, 1918, Wil
son made his famous 14 points
speech. In it he outlined what he
regarded as the Allied war aims.
The points included some gen
eral ones, such as freedom of the
seas and abolition of secret dip
lomacy; and some specific ones,
like German evacuation of occu
pied territories and the forma
tion of a League of Nations.
The next several months Ger
many and Austria-Hungary quib
bled with Wilson (through neu
tral negotiators) over interpreta
tion of some of the points.
Firm On Surrender
Wilson stood firm, although he
himself was having some trouble
selling the 14 points to the other
Allies.
Finally Wilson notified the
Germans on October 23 that if
the United States “must deal with
the military masters of Germany
it must demand, not peace nego
tiations, but surrender.”
On October 27 the German for
eign minister was able to advise
Wilson that negotiations would
be by a people’s government, “in
whose hands rest . . . the power
of making deciding conclusions.”
On November 5, U. S. Secre
tary of State Lansing notified the
Germans that the Allies would
make peace on the basis of the 14
points.
German emissaries met an Al
lied delegation headed by Mar
shal Foch, in the famous railroad
car in the Compeigne forest No
vember 8. Foch gave them no
room to doubt that they were in
no position to ask anyhing of the
Allies.
“What is that you desire, gen
tlemen?” Foch asked.
Erzberger, spokesman for the
German delegation, replied they
had come to receive Allied pro
I posals for an armistice.
The "Urgent" Need
Foch told them the Allies
weren’t proposing any armistice,
that thew had just as soon finish
the war on the battlefield. The
Germans were non-plussed.
They mumbled something
about their urgent need of end
ing the war.
“Ah,” said Foch. “I understand
—you have come to seek an ar
mistice!”
Thei Germans admitted tthat it
was indeed they who wanted to
quit. Three days later the armis
tice was signed. Germany could
get it modified only slightly.
The number of guns, trucks and
other items of equipment which
she was to turn over to the Al
lies were reduced in some cases.
Germany didn’t have as many of
these items as the Allies
thought.

the minimum of 90 days’ military
service is not required.
Veterans wishing to apply for
benefits under this provision of
the “G. I. Bill” may obtain ap
plication forms and assistance in
