AMERICA WANTS NO ANNEX
ATOMS Or ANY INDEMNiTIEs
Continued from Page One.)

1t was the status quo ante out of which
this iniquitous war issued forth, the
power of the imperial German govern
ment within the empire and its wide
spread domination and influence out
side of that empire. That status must
be altered in such fashion as to pre-
cent any such hideous thing from ever
happening again.
I'VE are fighting for the liberty, the
self-government and the indicated de-
velopment of all peoples and every fea-
tur of the settlement that that con-
cludes this war must be conceived and
executed for that purpose. Wrongs
must first be righted and then adequate
safeguards must be created to prevent
their being committed again. We
ought not to consider remedies merely
because they have a pleasing and SON
orous sound. Practical questions can
be settled only by practical means.
Phrases will not accomplish the re-
suit. Effective re-adiustments will
and whatever readjustments ar eneces-
sary must be made.
Principle Made Plain.
But they must follow principle
and that principle is plain. No people
must be forced under sovereignty I'M
der which it does not wish to live. No
territory must change hands, except
for the purpose of securing those who
inhabit it fair chance of life and lib
erty. No indemnities must be insist
ed on. except those that constitute pay
ment for manifest wrongs done. No
readjustments of power must be made
except such as will tend to secure the
future peace of the world and the fu
ture welfare and happiness of its peo-
pies
"And then the free peoples of the
world must draw together in some
common covenant, some genuine and
practical cooperation that will in et-
feet combine their force to secure
peace with justice in the dealings of
nations with one another. The broth
erhood of mankind must no longer be
a fair but empty phrase; it must be
given a structure of force and reality.
The nations must realize their common
life and effect workable partnership
to secure that life against the aggress-
ions of autocratic and self-pleasing
power.
For these things we can afford to
pour our blood and treasure. For these
are the things that we have always pro-
fessed to desire, and unless we pour
out blood and treasure now and succeed
we may never be able to unite or show
conquering force again in the great
cause of human liberty. The day has
come to conquer or submit. If the
forces of autocracy can divide US, they
will overcome us; if we stand to-
gether, victory is certain and the lii
erty which victory will secure. We
can afford then to be generous, but we
cannot afford then or now to be weak
or omit any single guarantee of JUS
tice and security"
