[The vertical rule indicates treaty text.] Notes to Part II, Articles 27 to 30 Quoting from speeches of President Wilson of February 11 and July 4, 1918, the German delegation asserted 1 that "no territory may be separated from Germany which by centuries of peaceful union with the German State [Upper Silesia, the Saar] has indisputably proved that it belongs to the nation, or, if this is not the case, the population of which has not declared itself in favour of separation" (Foreign Relations, The Paris Peace Conference, 1919, vi, 822). It therefore demanded plebiscites in each of the areas to be transferred, to be held after the conclusion of peace under fair conditions administered by a neutral state after the removal of all troops. Enclaves were to be mutually exchanged, and no more German subjects were "to be placed under the rule of the acquiring State, than subjects of that State under German rule". Self-determination, it was contended, must be applied not "solely to the prejudice of Germany" but to "all States alike". 'Unless otherwise indicated, the date of the German declaration, protest, or proposal was May 29, 1919. |
