"The policy of Switzerland" presi-

misunderstanding but think l am
not mistaken in saying that economic

lined In definite terms the procedure
he would take in initiating peace

delivered here last May before the
League to Enforce Peace. At that
time the president said:
IF it should ever be our privilege
to suggest or initiate the movement
for peace among the nations now at
war, am sure that the people OF the
United States would wish their gov
eminent to move along these lines:
Regards Lasting Peace
First, such settlement with re-
gard to their own immediate interests
as the belligerents may agree upon.
We have nothing material Of any kind
to ask for ourselves. and are quite
aware that we are in no sense or de-
gree parties to the present quarrel.
Our interest Is only In peace and its
future guarantee.
Second, an universal association
Of the nations to maintain the mediate
security of the highways Of the seas
for the common and unhindered use
Of all the nations of the world. and to
prevent any war begun either con-
trsry to treaty covenants or without
causes to the opinion OF the world
a virtual guarantee of territorial In.
tegrity and political independence
Choose Own Government
In the same speech the President
said the American people believed
fundamentally that every people have
a right to choose the sovereignty un.
der which they shall live. and that
the small states Of the world have
right to enjoy the same respect for
their sovereignty and for their terri
torial integrity that great and power
full nations expect and insist upon.
Secretary Lansing early today held
his first personal conference with
President Wilson since the peace pro-
posals Of the central powers were
made public. II was said the form"'
