peace. but under the present conditions
there is not the slightest possibility of any
action being taken in accordance with the
Presidents views.
Still" says the Gazette. these words
of peace show to the fighters who are
up to their knees in blood that some
other idea except the Prussian one ex-
lists and is not forgotten by the world,
The other newspapers pursue the
! same thread of reasoning. with only
minor variation. The free access to
the sea" used by President Wilson in
his address is generally interpreted as
an acknowledgment of Russia's rights
to the Dardanelies
The Novoe VreElya alone SCOTS at
the Presidents words, choosing to in
terprct them as proposal to create
an international police system over
Europe, and haracterizing such a no.
ton as absurd.
Most Remarkable in Century"
DUBLIN. January 25.-John Dillon.
nationalist member of parliament for
East Mayo. in a statement to the Asso-
ciated Press yesterday said:
The speech of President Wilson is
unquestionably the most remarkable
and momentous uttered by the ruler
of a great power for more than n hun
dred years. There cannot he the
slightest doubt in some definitions of
the principles laid down that he is
speaking for liberals and the friends
of humanity in every nation. No peace
can last. or ought to last. which does
not recognize and accept the principle
that governments derive all their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned.
Coming at such crisis from the
Pres ident of the United States. these
words viii strike deep into the hearts
of all lovers of liberty throughout the
world The President quotes the case
of Poland. Surely the case of Ireland
is much stronger and more to the point.
Reaction in Russia is but fierce pres
sure on the emperor to break his pledge
to Poland; reaction in Great Britain
has dominated the government, so far
as ireland is concerned
Points to Lesson for England.
so long as Ireland is held under
martial law and self-Sovernment is
denied the Irish nation it viii be diff
cult for Great Britain to obtain full
credit as the champion of small ra
tionalities and of the right to full So
curity and liberty of economic develop
ment possessed by all peoples, small
and great.
THE only criticism l feel called on
to make o. the Presidents great utter
ance is that the world is very far from
being ripe for the great ideals it sets
forth. The policy of the conference at
Paris is absolutely inconsistent with
any general league for the Iuainten-
ance of the worlds peace. Reaction
is still strong in Europe and is in
evitab1y growing stronger the war
goes on and people become more mill

MADRID. via Paris. January %,
a.r.-The Epoca recognizes in Presi-
Dent Wilson's speech the reflection Of
generous and noble IDEAS but asks
what confidence can he have in his own
words it, at the same moment as he
delivers a message of peace. he en-
courages bills for an increase in his
country's military and naval forces.
The message" says the Epoca, "is
at once an expression of its authors
idealistic sentiments and an announce
ment of greater intervention by the
United States in European politics.
