Germany Will Stand for War If Peace is Unjust
Prince Maximilian, German chancellor, told the Reichstag that defensive war would be carried on if a peace with justice is not obtained. He urged restraint in debate with Wilsons terms, warned against submitting to a peace of violence, and said the Reichstag would be made responsible for war or peace only when a league of nations becomes operative. He called for clarity on Wilsons plan and stressed national self determination and justice as guiding principles.
