REJECTION Of
PEACE NOTE
To Deal With Present Power
Would Involve Renewal of
World Domination

appeal OF His Holiness, IT would be
folly to take the path OF peace he
points out IL ii does not in fact lead
to the goal he proposes.
To deal with such power as the
present rulers OF Germany upon Pope
Benedict's plan, declares the presi-
dent, would involve a recuperation oi
the strength and renewal OF the world
domination OF that power, now balked
but not defeated. after sweeping Il
continent with the blood OF innocent
women and children and the helpless
poor, as well as of soldiers
Permanent peace must be based
upon the faith of all the peoples and
upon justice and fairness and the com
mon rights OF mankind, he adds, "and
cannot take the word of the present
rulers OF Germany as guarantee Of
anything that is TO endure. unless eX-
plicitly supported by such conclusive
evidence of the will and purpose OF
the German people themselves as the
other peoples of the world would be
justified in accepting"
Text Of Note

August 81. 1917.
To His Toliness,
Benedictus V.
Pope.
In Acknowledgement OF the com
muuication of Your Holiness TO the
belligerent peoples, dated August l.,
1917, the president of the United
States requests me to transmit the
following reply:

Substance Of Plan
His Holiness in substance proposes
that we return TO the status quo ante
