Declares Permanent Peace Cannot Be Based Upon Victory, That Peoples of All Nations, Small and: Great, Must Be Allowed to Live Their’ Own Lives Unhindered and Unafraid. WASHINGTON, Jan, 22.—For nearly half an hour this afternoon President Wilson addressed the United States Senate on what part the United States shall take in arranging a lasting peace. Members of the Senate, members of the Cabinet and packed galleries listened with rapt attention. When he concluded there was a tremendous burst of applause in which many of the Republican Senators joined the Dem: crats. When the President had finished and the Senate returned to its reg- ular business, Senator La Follette epitomized the sentiment of all present by saying: “We have Just passed through a very important hour in the life of the world,” The principal points in the President's speech were as follows: “I am proposing, as it were,” he said, “that the nations should with one accord adopt the doctrine of President Monroe as the doctrine of the world: That no nation should seek to extend its polity over any other nation or people, but that every people should be left free to determine its own polity, its own way of development, unhindered, unthreatened, unafraid, little along with the great and powerful. “I am proposing that all nations henceforth avoid entangling alliances which would drive them into com- petitions of power, catch them in a net of intrigue and selfish rivalry, and disturb their own affairs with in- fluences intruded from without. “There is no entangling alliance in a concert of power. When all unite to act in the same sense and with the same purpose, all act in the common interest and are free to live their own lives under a common protection.” PEACE MUST NOT BE BASED ON VICTORY, No peace which was a peace of victory in the present war would be a permanent peace. It must be taken for granted that peace “‘must be followed by some definite concert of power which will make it virtually impossible that any such catastrophe should ever overwhelm us again. “It is inconceivable that the people of the United | States should play no part in that great enterprise. They |cannot, in honor, withhold the service to which they are about to be challenged. “That service is nothing less than this: To add their authority and their power to the authority and force af other nations to guarantee peace and justice throughout the world. “No covenant of co-operative peace that does not in- SS een
