peoples, not the rights OF govern
tnents-the rights of peoples great or
small, weak or powerful-their equal
tights to freedom and security and
sell government and to participation
upon fair terms in the economic OBJ
portunitics OF the world-thc Ger
man people OF course, included, if they
will accept eqaulity and not seek dom
nation.
Must Be Based GA
Faith CT the People.
The test, therefore, of every plan
OF peace is this
IS it based upon the faith OF all the
peoples involved or merely upon the
word OF an ambitious and intriguing
government on the one hand, and of a
group OF free peoples on the other?
This is test which goes TO the root
OF the matter, and it is the test which
must be applied
The purpose of this United States
are known to the whole world-to
every people to whom the truth has
been permitted to come They do not
need to be stated again. We seek no
material advantage Of any kind. We
believe that the intolerable wrongs
done in this war by the furious and
brutal power Of the imperial German
government ought to be repaired. but
not al the expense OF the sovereignty
OF any people-rather a vindication
OF the sovereignty both OF those that
are now weak and Of those that are
strong Punitive damages, the dis
memberment of empires, the estab-
lshment of selfish and exclusive
economic leagues we deem inexpedi-
ent and in the end worse than future.
no proper basis for a peace of any
kind, least Of all for an enduring peace.
That must be based upon Justice and
fairness and the common rights OF
mankind
Cannot Take Word
OF The Kaiser.
We cannot take the word of the
present rulers OF Germany as a guar
antee of anything that is to endure,
Unless explicitly supported by such
conclusive evidence of the will and
purpose of the German people them
selves as the other peoples of the
world would be justified in accepting.
Without such guarantees, treaties Of
settlement, agreements for disarma-
ment, covenants to set up arbitration
IN the place of force, territorial adj
JuStments, reconstruction of small ma
tons, ii made with the German gov
eminent, no man, no nation could now
depend on. We must await some new
evidence of the purposes of the great
peoples Of the Central Powers. God
grant it may be given soon and in
way to restore the confidence of all
peoples everywhere in the faith Of ma
tons and the possibility of a cove
nanted peace.

Would Mean Renewal
Of Present Policy.

To deal with such a power by way
of peace upon the plan proposed by
His Holiness the Pope would, so far
as we can see. involve recuperation
OF its strength and renewal of its
policy: would make it necessary to
create a permanent hostile Combina-
ton of nations against the German
people. who are its Instruments; and
would result in abandoning the new
born Russia to the intrigue, the mani
fold subtle interference, and the GER
tain counter revolution which would
be attempted by all the malign inhu-
ences to which the German govern
ment has OF late accustomed the
world. Can peace be based upon a
restitution of its power or upon any
word OF honor it could pledge in a
treaty of settlement and accommoda-
ton?
| Responsible statesmen must now
everywhere see, if they never saw be-
fore, that no peace can rest securely
upon political or economic restrictions
meant to benefit some nations and
cripple or embaraSs others, upon vim
dicative action of any sort, or any kline
of revenge or deliberate injury The
American people have suffered intol
cradle wrongs at the hands of the i'm
perial German government, but they
desire no reprisal upon the German
people, who have themselves suffer
ed all things in the war. which the,
did not choose. They believe tina
