sons message to congress gave pow
erful impetus today to the American
plan for a complete open. frank and
joint re-statement Of allied war aims.
The Daily News editorial comment
practically endorsed that plan. Other
newspapers, Joining in the general
chorus of hearty approval of the
whole tone of the Wilson address.
Indicated their belief in the necessity
for re-pledging of the hosts of de-
mocracy.
AS stated exclusively in these dis
patches a short time ago. Colonel
House is known to have presented
to British officials President Wilson's
urgent suggestion for sorting OF
war aims. a compilation OF those to
which every ally could subscribe, a
discarding of those to which all could
not pledge their force and finally
issuance OF a joint pledge by the
allies of composite war aims. The
matter presumably was taken up II
| the Paris fnter-allied councils. but
was temporarily put aside for more
physical war measures. Judging from
the reception Of President Wilson's
address today, the plan will be
brought to the fore today.
The Daily News comment today
was practically an endorsement OF
the American re-pledging plan.
"If the president could have said
earlier what he said today" the edi
torial declared, land II in Britain

leaders of these nations had made
