hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get small bottle for you from his

Riaht to Be the Basis Of Terms.
The equality of nations upon which
peace must be founded, II 1t is to last,
must be an equality OF rights: the
guarantees exchanged must neither
recognize nor imply difference be-
tween big nations and small. between
those that are powerful and those
that are weak. Right must be used
upon the common strength, not upon
the Individual strength, OF the nations
upon whose concert peace will depend
Equality of territory or OF resources
there, Of course, cannot be; nor any
other sort OF equality not gained In
the ordinary peaceful and legitimate
development of the peoples them
selves, But no one asks or expects
anything more than an equality of
rights. Mankind is looking now for
freedom of life, not for eQuipoises OF
power.
And there is deeper thing involved
than even equality of right among or
ganized nations. No peace can last,
or ought to last, which does not recog-
nize and accept the principle that gov
eruments derive all their just powers
from the consent Of the governed, and
that no right anywhere exists to hand
peoples about from sovereignty to SOW
