ae an sonssensetnssenamnate ial — THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1918. WILSON PRAISES THE EFFORTS OF RUSSIA TO RESTORE PEACE men should be held within open, not closed doors, and all the ail the world has been audience, as was desire: “To whom have we been Listening, then? To those who speak the spirit and Intention of the resolutions of the German Reichstax of the 9th of Inly Jast. the spirit ad Intention of the Liberal leaders and parties of Germany or to those who resist and defy that spirit and intention and Insist upon conquest and subjugation! Or are we s- tening, in fact, to both, anreconciied and in open and hopeless contra. diction? PEACE OF WORLD DEPENDS ON ANSWER. “These are very serious and pregnant questions. to them depends the peace of the world “But whatever the results of the parleys at Brest-Litovsk, whatever the confusions of counsel and of purpose in the utterances of the spokes- men of the Central Empires, they have again attempted to acquaint the world with their objects ¢ war and have again challenged thei adversaries to say what their objects are and what sort of settlement tl would deem just and satisfactory. “There is no good reason why that challenge should not be re- Sponded to, and responded to with the utmost candor, We did not wait for it, Not once, but again and again we have laid our whole thought and purpose before the world, not in general terms only, but each time with sufficient definition to make it clear what sort of definite | terms of settlement must necessarily spring out of them. | “Within the last week Mr. Lloyd George has spoken with admir- candor in admirable spirit for the people and Government of Great Britain, Thero is no confusion of counsel among the adversaries of the Central Powers, no uncertainty of principle, no vagueness of de- tail. The only secrecy of counsel, the only lack of fearless frankness, the only fallure to make definite statement of the objects of the war, les with Germany and her allies. WAR SHOULD CONTINUE ONLY FOR VITAL AIMS. “The issues of life and death hang upon these definitions. No states- man who has the least conception of his responsibility ought for a mo- ment to permit ‘aimself to vontinue this tragical and appalling outpouring of blood ang treasure unless he is sure beyond a peradventure that the objects of the vital sacrifice are part and parcel of the very life of sociciy and that the people for whom he speaks think them right and imperative as he does, “There is, moreover, a voice calling for these definitions of principle amd of purpose which is, it seems to me, more thrilling and more com- | pelling than any of the many moving voices with which the troubled air of the world is filled. It is the voice of the Russian people. They are prostrate and all But helpless, it would seem, before the grim power of | Germany, which has hitherto known no relenting and no pity. ‘Their power apparently is shattered. And yet their soul is not subservient. | They will not yield either in principle or in action. | “Their conception of what is right, of what is humane and honor. | able for'them to accept, has been stated with a frankness, a largeness ot view, a generosity of spirit and a universal haman sympathy which t challenge the admiration of every friend of mankind, and they Upon the answer selves may be safe. “They call to us to say what it is that we fesire; in what, if in anything, our purpose and our spirit differ from theirs, and 1 believe that the people of the United States would wish me to respond with utter simplicity and frankness. Whether their present leaders believe it or not, it is our heartfelt desire and hope that some way may be opened whereby we may be, privileged sto assist the people of Russia to attain their utmost hope of liberty and ordered peace, } NEGOTIATIONS MUST BE IN THE OPEN. | “It will be our wish and purpose that the processes of peace, whe indenendence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike. they are begun, shall be absolutely open, and that they shall involve and | permit henceforth no secret understandings of any kind. The day of conquest and aggrandizement is gone by. So is also the day of secret covenants entered into in the interest of particular Governments and likely at some unlooked-for moment to upset the peace of the world. It is this happy fact, now clear to the view of every public man whose thoughts do not still linger in an age that is dead and gone, which makes its possible for every nation whose purposes are consistent with justice and the peace of the world to avow now or at any other time the objects it has in view. “We entered this war because violations of right had occurred which touched us to the quick and made the life of our own people impossible unless they were corrected and the world secured once for all against their recurrence, “What we demand in this war, therefore, Is nothing peculiar to ourselves. It fs that the world be made fit and safe to Ive in, and particularly that it be made safe for every peace-loving nation which, like our own, wishes to live its own Life, determine its own institutions, be assured of Justice and falr dealing by the other peoples of the world, as against force and selfish aggression, All the peoples of the world are in effect partners in this Interest, and for our own part we nee very clearly that unless Justice be done to others it will not be done to us. | WILSON STATES FULL PROGRAMME. | “The programme of the world's peace, therefore, is our programme, | and that programme, the only possible programme, as we see it, is this “4—Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind but diploma acy | shall proceed always frankly and in the public view. “2—Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside terri- torial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of interna- tional covenants. “3-—The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance. “4.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 8—Evi- dence of the care the German Gov- ernment is taking to direct public opinion and deceive not only tts enemica but its own people, is con- tained in a series of secret instruc- tions issued to the German prese by the censorship which have fallen into the handa of the State | division.

A general association of nations must be formed under specific ints for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political cove STAND TOGETHER TO THE END. “In regard to these essential rectifications of wrong and assertions of right, we feel ourselves to be intimate partners of all the Governments and peoples associated together against the Imperialists. We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose—we s| end, “For such arrangements and covenants we are willing to fight and to continue to fight until they are achieved, but only because the right to prevail and desire a just and stable peace, such as van be secured only by removing the chief provocations of war, which this! programme does remove, “We have no Jealousy of German greatness, and there is nothing in this programme that impairs it, We grudge her no achievement or distinction of learning or of pacific enterprise such as haye made her record very bright and very enylable. We do not wish to injure her or to block in any way her legitimate intluence or power. We do not wish to fight her, elther with arms or with hostile arrangements of trade, if she is willing to associate herself with us and the other peace- loving nations of the world in covenants of Justice and law and fair dealing. We wish her only to accept a place of equality among the peoples of the world the new world In which we now live—instead of a place of mastery. “Neither do we presume to suggest to her any alteration or modi- fication of her institutions. But it is necessary, we must frank’ and necessary as a preliminary to any intelligent dealings vith her that we should know whom her spokesmen speak for when | they speak to us, whether for the Reichstag majority or for the military party and the men whose creed is imperial domination. “We have spoken now surely in terms too concrete to admit of any further doubt or question, An evident principle runs through the whole programme I have outlined, It Is the principle of Justice to all peoples and nationalities and their right to Hve on equal terms of Mb- erty and safety with one another, whether they be strong or weak. Unless this principle be made its foundations, no part of the structure of International justice can stand, The peoples of the United States could act upon no other principle and to the vindication of this prin- ciple they are ready to devote their Hyves, thelr honor aud everything that they possess. he moral climax of this the culminating and final war f and together until the} we wish} anes (CROWN PRINCE JOINS | GENERALS IN OPPOSITION TO THE KAISER’S PLANS ° : | | ive Kuehimann Supported by the} ai harps nheunidarky Denvary Ook L.
