WILSON, THE MAN FoR PEACE

(From the London Daily News
and Leader.)
Americans see in the elections
which fall midway in a presidents
term of Office the clearest sign OF
the country's vote at the next
presidential election. If that
calculation be just, Mr. Wilson
ought to be assured Of a sec
end term. The government Of
their own country is of course a
matter for Americans alone to de-
termine; but Englishmen are at
liberty to say what impression
American rulers make upon them.
There is no statesman through
out the world whose reputation
has risen as steadily as Mr.. Will
sons, or stands higher. He has
accomplished great things in
domestic legislation, but even
more valuable, from the stand
point of the world at large, is
what he has accomplished in in
tcrnational affairs. He has
created the conviction that his
conduct Of foreign affairs is de-
tcrmined by Justice; that he has
an iron will to pursue the course
he thinks right, in the teeth of
Glamour and of passion; that he
hates jingoism and loves peace
that his understanding is as clean
as his principles are high. The
United States is a great country
rich in individuality, but it is
most improbable that they pos
sess another man equally richly
endowed with these qualities
81 They happen TO be the qualities
most needed by his country just
now, for they guarantee that TIA,
United States will be carried
simply and honorably along thu
ways of peace through this wrrlC
conflict. They happen to be th'
qualities most needed by TIT
world at large, for they guarantee
Olthe warning powers mediation
and wise counsel when the houl
strikes for the discussion o.
peace.
