DEBATE IN REICHSTAG

POLICY OF MIGHT FOREDOOMED,

Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. AMSTERDAM, August 23. In the Reichstag, Herr Kuhlmann, addressing the Main Committee, said : " Our treatment of neutrals is important, and the prevention of further culture relations is a material task which can be solved only by the principle that might is not the only factor, but also right. Any pOiicy based on might is doomed to failure beforehand. We should also study the enemy's psychology. This is important, as we should not destroy by hard, grim words eventual feelings of reconciliation." He also declared that the present was probably the last year of war. The Progressives were delighted with the speech. The Social Democrats declared that as long as the enemy refused to conclude peace they must continue their military pressure. They believed that Germany was unable to force a peace by submarines. A BOMBASTIC SPEECH. ALLIES' ATTITUDE NOT UNDERSTOOD. LONDON, August 23. (Received Aug. 24, at 11.20 p.m.) A German wireless message says that in the course of a speech in the Reichstag the Chancellor claimed that 811,000 tons of shipping had been sunk in July _He added: " When we take into consideration our results on the one hand and the enemy's failures on the other it ap-' jiears incomprehensible that our enemies do not show a disposition to prepare the way for the consideration of peace terms."
