Erzberger Urges German View on Wilson Points
Copenhagen dispatch reports Mathias Erzberger head of the German armistice commission arguing the peace treaty must not require Germany to accept further conditions beyond Wilson's fourteen points. He favors a European league of nations through a referendum, rejects postwar compensation beyond Belgium, and says Germany would honor Alsace Lorraine’s vote but resist French aims on the Rhineland and Danzig. He faults the policy that would entangle Germany with Bolshevism and asks for immediate German acceptance into the covenant, insisting no moral obligation exists beyond Belgium.
