PEABE- lllV|NG ANU I .___ GERMANY AMSTERDAM, Feb. 18.-Germany was pictured as a peace-loving, non- nggressive nation in the speech of Dr. Von Kuchlmanii, the German for- eign secretary, at the concluding session of the recent conference at Brest-Litovsk. Dr. Von Kuehlmann said' the Russians should have no fear that Germany held any designs on Russia. , “I need only refer M. Trotzky, (tho Bolsheviki foreign minister), to per- manent basis of the German policy which, up to the time when war with Russia was forced on the German peo- ple consisted in the preservation of good and friendly relations toward our eastern neighbors," Dr. Von Kuc- hlmann declared. _ ' Will Not interfere. tlnue-as soon as the war has reach- ed a satisfactory conclusion-to strive ly organized Russia by avoiding all interference in its internal affalrs.", If it does not add a laurel to economy _ it will not pluck one from it.

Dr. Von Kuehlmann contin- ued. “althoiigh we believe their wish- es already have been expressed in ac- cordance with the principle of self- determination, we are ready by n sy- stematic extension of existing repre- sentative bodies to provide for the possibility of a further expression of. the national will on the broadest .pos-4 sible basis. The detemiinatlon of 'the . time and form of this expression of po ular will must D be decided by exist-. ing representative bodies *in those territories." As to a se . Niue. Dr. Von Kuehlmann said, the Central Powers must reserve 'the right to be their own judges as to what states they should recognize. They had recognized the Ukraine, he_ added, and there was no use discuss-I Ing that question any further. ‘ Count Czernln, Austro-I-Iuugarlan f0¥`6|8ll .u1|lliStcr. expressed surprise' that Trotzky had introduced the sub-' ject of the Ukraine at the peace con- ference. “The relations between the Ukraine' and the Petrograd government," said Count Czornin, "do not concern the", Central Powers. and our conclusion of a peace. with the Ukraine cannot he regarded asan unfriendly act to-' Wafd the Peirosrad government.
