"We are that much nearer a def.

shall end the present war. We are
that much nearer the discussion of
the international concert which must
hereafter hold the world at peace"
Awaits Public Verdict
While the president is looking to
Europe with the most profound inter
est in the effect his pronouncement
may have upon the governments and
peoples of the warning nations, he
awaits with equal eagerness the YER
dict to be given by the American pub
lie after mature deliberation upon the
course he has championed before the
world. It is known that he realizes
the tremendous opposition at home to
be overcome before the United States
can take a place in world alliance
to preserve peace, even though that
alliance be based upon such peace
as he outlined as the condition.
peace founded on the equality of
rights of nations, right feling among
nations and the elimination of organ
lied rivalries. Open opposition to his
ideals already has been expressed
among Republicans of the senate, and
the inherent aversion of a large part
of the people generally to any sug-
gestion of departure from the tradi-
tional policy of America is fully rec
ognized.
Expects Bitter Criticism
The. president is said to believe,
however, that a full understanding of
his reasons for holding that it would
be impossible for the United States
to remain neutral through another
great war and a realization of the
part their country can play in ad-
vancing civilization. these difficulties
will be swept away.

Fredericks pleaded for the postpon-
