CHIEF GERMAN DELEGATE INTERVIEWED.

PROTEST AGAINST DICTATION

(Received April 8, 7.40 p.m.)

■■;. New York, March 27. Mr Do sch Fleurot writes from Berlin stating that he interviewed Count Hantzau, who will head the German peace delegation to Paris. He said: "I cannot believe that the Entente expect the German delegates to go to Paris merely to receive a set of peace conditions. Germany should not be treated in that summary manner. I believe now is the time to apply modern ideals of international relations. •Justice instead of peace must be established as the basis of international affairs. The world . must follow a middle Course between imperialism and Bolshevism. It must be admitted that there is a natural tendency among the yiqtors, to desert democratic ideals and impose a peace of the conquerors."
