Herr Ebert Fehrenbach in a proclamation protests against the "un precedented and unfulfillable demands which the opponents of world war sought to impose on ourselves, children and grand children. Our honourand self-respect forbid the signing of the contract which the work of generations will not suffice to execute." He declares that the occupation of further German territory is a breach of the Treaty of Versailles. "We are defenceless and unable to oppose force with force, but can cry out so that all still recognising the voice of righteousness may hear that right is being downtrodden by might." He exhorts the German people to meet foreign violence with a dignified, calm and lofty front and not be provoked into thoughtless acts, but endure and trust the Government which will not rest till foreign might yields to right.

The papers are commenting favourably on President Harding's message. What is especially noticed is that the message sets to naught Germany's hope of intervention in her favour.
