Washington, May l6.--President
Wilson tonight made public a frank
and intimate review OF HIS three years
IN the White house, and his impros-
sions OF foreign and domestic prob
lens, delivered confidentially last
night before Washington correspond
ents gathered at the National Press
club. He spoke of the difficulties OF
the presidency and particularly or
the motives wghich have guided his
handling of the European situation.
America" the president said, lis
for peace because she loves peace, and
believes the present war has carried
the nations engaged so far that they
cannot be held to ordinary standards
Of responsibility"
But, he added, the United states has
grown to he one of the great nations
of tho world and, therefore, must act
more or less from the point of view
Of the rest OF the world.
Moral Influence Plus.
"If cannot retain my moral infiu-
ence over a man except by OCCASION
ally knocking him down." he said. III
that Is the only basis on which ne
will respect me. then for the sake or
his soul l have got to occasionally
knock him down"
The president declared he had been
Lent awake nights considering the
Is,,ronean situation because there
MIGHT come n time when the United
! s,ates would have TO do what | did
not desire to do, and "the great bur-
den on my spirits has been that IL
has been up to me to choose when
that time came" He added that he
ana not conceive thnt he had been
elected presldent to do as he pleased
,."If ! were II would have been very
n,,n,, more interesting." he said.
