Equality of territory or of re-

nor any other sort of equality not
gained in the ordinary peaceful and
legitimate development of the peo-
pie themselves. But no one asks or
expects anything more than an
equality of rights. Mankind is look
ing now for freedom of life; not for
equipoises of power
Dealing with the question of arm
aments which he declared to be "the
most immediate and intensely prac-
tical question connected with the
future fortunes of nations and of
mankind" the President declared
there could be no assurance of safe
ty if great ornaments were to be
built up and maintained and that
difficult as. the question might be,
it must be faced with the greatest
candor, and decided in spirit of
real accommodation"
Previously the President had
touched upon a collateral point,
when he said:
Mere agreements may not make
peace secure.i 1t will be absolutely
necessary that force be created as
a guarantor of the permanency of
the settlement, so much greater than
the force OF any nation now engaged
or any alliance hitherto formed or
projected, that no nation, no probe
able combinations, could face or
withstand it. If the peace present.
ly to be made is to endure it must
be a peace made secure by the Or
ganiZeA major force of mankind.
This declaration called to the minds
of the Presidents hearers. the state
ment of Arthur Balfour, British for
eign minister, in his recent note,
which said an international sanction
for peace should be backed by a
force which would give pause to the
hardest aggressor."
Wilson's Speech.
(eI'he President in his address said:
Gentlemen of the Senate:
ION the 18th day of December last

governments of the nations at war
requesting them to state, more def
nitely than there has yet been stated
by either group of belligerents, the
terms upon which they would deem
it possible to make peace. l spoke
on behalf of humanity and of the
rights of all neutral nations like our

that they we're ready to meet their
antagonists in conference to discuss
terms of peace. The Entente Pow
ers have replied much more definite
ly and have stated, in general terms,
indeed, but with sufficient definite
ness to imply details, the arrange
ments, guarantees, and acts of repair
alton which they deem to be the in
dispensible conditions of a satisfac-
tory settlement. We are that much
nearer a definite discussion of peace
which shall end the present war.
We are that much nearer the dis
cussion of the international concert
which must thereafter hold the world
at peace. In every discussion of the
peace that must end this war it is
taken for grantedSthat that peace
