sailles oa May 7, maintains that the
eaemies of Germany have forsaken the
peace of justice, to which they had
pledged themselves la the armistice
negotiations, for a peace of might

The reply, aa official summary of
which was made public ' here today,
protests against the proposed terms in

presses for verbal negotiations and
states that Germany . expects justice
oa a basis of equality and reciprocity.

time they were presented.)

Analysis of Legal Peace.
J The reply begins with a detailed
analysis of the legal basis of peace,
alleges a flagrant series of contradic

the result Would be the complete ea
.lTTement of the German people and
the betrayal of all the world s eber

" wands immediate admission to the

of the armistice agreement and as aae
essary for the acceptance of the pro
posed military, naval and air terms.
Territorial Changes.
' She then analyses the territorial
change demanded, claiming that the
right of self determination 'has been
wilfully violated throughout.
