GERMAN POLICY

ACCORDING TO COUNT BERNSTORFF "DIRECTED TO THE SIDE OF AMERICA" By Telouraph-l'ress ABsooiation-Coryrlght Berlin, July 13. Count Berustorff, writing in tho "Demokratischo Deutschland" ("Democratic Germany"), advocates the revision of tho Peace Treaty by the League of Nations. Germany's foreign policy, ho says, must be constantly directed towards tho building up of the League, in tho hope that tho new ivorld order will establish n world economy (hat, extending ucyond frontiers, will bind the peoples together. German policy would bo directed to the side of America, where tho idea of a peaceful League is a living reality. America alono would be able to provide tho necessary financial means to invigorate such a political economy. Germans must convince America, says tho writer, that tho old militaristic Germany is buried, and that the new Germany does not intend to play the role of an apostle of socialistic world revolution. Without America's help it would be almost impossible, to restore German economy.— Aun.-N.Z. Cable Assn.

[Count Bernstorif was German Ambassador in the United States from 11)08 till February, 1917, and during that period ingratiated himself remarkably with tho people, and prior to the war was very popular. When the war opened the eyes of the United States to the German methods, however, it was found that Bernstorff was the prime mover in an extraordinary scheme of espionage and plottings, and he was at last deported, leaving behind him a reputation of the most unpleasant kind.] FAILURE OF SOCIALIST REVOLUTION SCHEMES ABANDONED.
