Victory the Way to End War, Says
, Executive to Organizers of Pa
triotic Movement

Washington. Oct. 9-"Amerfcans
who are discussing early peace with
Germany forget that it would mean
crushing the democratic ideals for
which the United States has always
stood" declared President Wilson to
the organizers of a patriotic educa-
tiOnal movement who called at the
White House. He said the only way
to end the war is by complete victory
of the nations representing those
ideals over Germany's doctrine of
force.
MANY people," said the president
"are inclined to let their thoughts on
the causes and principles underlying
the war wander into byways, and for
get that the main reason the United
States is at war is to defeat a gov
eminent which threatens even the ex-
istence of democracy"
The president Endorsed the plan of
the new organization, which includes
a number of religious, business. labor
and fraternal groups, for unifying the
spirit of America. Little real misun-
derstandings of the war exist in the
United States. he said. but there is
evident considerable cloudy thinking
which a patriotic educational move
ment can set Alright.
