Violated Pledges.

Second. the allies declared they
could not make peace because OF the
violations Of plighted faith 10 the na-
tons, which Germany had voluntarily
taken and which, regardless OF truth,
she had steadily and most outrage
ously violated.
And third the humanlties. they al
legged, had all been violated by Ger
many, altho internationally accepted
and sanctioned by them with others.
This common attitude of the United
States and Of the allies was met by
Germany with a practical admission
Of the truth OF all they stated. Ger
many avows, and has avowed, that it
will do whatever II judges to be neces-
sary TO attain It's ends, irrespective OF
any promises or engagements made at
any time. IL has also alleged that
pledges, promises and humanities are
not binding upon - and also that
nothing shall be allowed to stand in
the wqy OF its national aspirations
and evolution as II interprets the
same. That is to say, Germany prac-
tically admits the charges OF the
United States and the allies. that It
has repudiated all morals and all hu-
manity as universally held and un-
derstood.
You can but perceive that we have
before US here two heories OF morals
and of life The German theory is q
theory of morals made by the Ger
man nation, operative within its own
borders. and operative on other ma
tions only In 80 far as 1t can enforce
its will on them. Now, II one nation
has right to make its own code OF
morals, another and every other ma
ton has the same right. Ii every
nation makes its own code of morals,
moral relations cannot be internation-
al. There can be no system OF uni
versal interchange on "a moral basis OF
numerous nations holding different
and presumably divergent theories OF
morals. All world relations, there
fore. must cease unless they are
merely relations OF hostility.
On the other hand, America and
the allies present n theory OF morals
universal in its character. and of uni
versal benevolence, founded not on
legislation or statute OF the state and
subject TO no state revisal or amend
ment. but given by the Ruler of the
universe for the promotion of appro-
pirate human relations between all
