Part of the presidents message. re-
garding the possibility of seeking
guarantees for future peace, is sup
ported In its fundamental ideas by the
entente, which. in its note. set forth
the same aspirations for stable set
tlement in Europe.
Naturally, the particular way In
which Mr. Wilson proposes to safe
guard peace in the future requires dis
cussion. Such a discussion. however,
is premature at this time for us, since,
as the president admits himself. an in
dispensable preliminary to a future
understanding is that the present war
must first be ended For us-actors.

are in conflict with those essential
conditions indicated by President Will
