PEACE WITH VICTORY

Pro-German papers, includ- ing the Los Angeles Examiner, still keep declaring for Peace without Victory" quoting from President Wilson in an endeav- or to make their anti-American articles appear less unpatriotic. It should be borne in mind, that when President Wilson gave ut terance to those words, Ameri- ca was a neutral nation. Nat urally the President has given voice to no such sentiment since the United States was forced to take up arms against Germany. Peace with Victory" would more truly express the senti- ment of utterances since we en- tered the war. As a neutral nation, it was Americas place to remain the friend to both of the parties to the war, and, in the interest of humanity, Presi- dent Wilson nobly sought to se- cure a peace that would put an end to the terrible struggle that was causing distress in neutral nations as we'll as within those participating in the conflict. When we took up the sword against Germany, it was for the protection of democracies in the world, including our own nation, and because we had been driven to the realization that Germany is the aggresso1 and in the wrong in this war To accept peace without vic, tory now would be to yield tc wrong, sacrificing the right-a thing which we cannot do with
 out imperilling the very life o1
 our nation. He who now plead: for peace without victory is un
 true to America, and is unwor
 thy of a voice in the affairs O:
 the nation. America is willing to accept peace---a peace tha forces Germany to repair thu wrongs she has committed peace with victory, but nothin, less.
