THOSE PEACE TERMS. DISCUSSION URGED IN GERMANY "LET THE REICHSTAG HAVE THE FLOOR." United Pbess Association. '• (Received 8.45 a.m.) Copenhagen, November 24. A Berlin message stated as a fact that the Radical Socialists are making a determined effort to force the discussion of peace terms when the Heichstag reassembles. This is indicated in the Vorwaerts, which summarised the speeches in the British Parliament. The paper says: "Without any direct contradiction by the British Government, British politicians have set up as the positive peace conditions that Germany shall yield up Belgium, the north of France, also Lorraine, and that there shall he no indemnity from England. Though wholly unofficial, these speeches are worthy of our serious attention; and should lead to discussion in the place where, in Germany, free speech still has a home. If the British speeches are not to remain as voices crying in the wilderness, Parliament must use its prerogative to speak, and open discussion is the best means to destroy certain illusions which the enemies of Germany harbor as a possibility of the prospects of this war of attrition. When once clarity is brought into these questions, a great forward step will be taken. Let the Reichstag have I the floor."
