Tho White House,

my Dear Howard
"Thank you for your letter of the 18th.
81 do not know what reply to make to
the first question your letter propounds.
Certainly ! never had anything in mind
In regard to cooperation among neutrals
which would be particularly advantageous
to the United States. My thought was
only to unite the opinion of the world
SO far as could in protesting against the
fragrant violations of right and of inter-
national Justice which had been COM
mitted. At no stage of this distressing
war have [ ever entertained the slight
est idea OF making any combination for
the special benefit of the United States
My thought has been merely the estab-
ishment Of international justice and hui
name dealing, and the safeguarding of
universal interests.
with regards to tho question whether
war on the part of the United States has
served to strengthen the common bond
between the deTnocracies Of the Western
Il think that thoughtful men in all the
democraceS in that hemisphere arc be-
ginning to see the real purpose and char
ing In every proposal that she makes to
give the most sacred pledges on her own
part that she will in no case be the ag-
greSsoE against either the political in
dependence or the territorial integrity Of
any other state or nation. at the Same
time she is proposing and insisting or
similar pledges from all the nations OF
the world who have its peace at heart
and are willing to associate themselves
for the maintenance of that peace The
very strength Of her appeal in this direc-
ton comes from the fact that she is will
ing to bind herself and give pledges fer
the utmost solenlnity for her own good
faith and disinterestedness. If this is
understood there could be no question Of
fear or suspicion.
II am very much interested to learn
of your proposed return to Latin Amer
lea and / wish you bon voyage with the
greatest heartiness.
Cordially and sincerely yours,

In THE ADDRESSES of President
Wilson, Premier Lloyd George, Chan
ce1lor Won Hertling and Count CZernin
we have had an interchange of the
peace proposals of the warning nations
President Wilson end Lloyd George,
without previous consultation or
agreement, simultaneously advocated
certain principles and made certain
demands which are entirely harmoni
GUS and much the same in sentiment
During the past week Chancellor Won
Hertling and Count Czernin have at
tempted to answer these national ut
terances. The following is the posi-
ton which Germany, and hence Aus
tria, has taken with regard to the pro-
posals made by President Wilson.
While at first glance 1t will seem that
a settlement might be possible by in
ternational negotiations at this time
it will be realized how far the world
is in truth separated rom the chance
of q peaceful settlement Of the war at
hand
President Wilson set forth his prin
ciples IN fourteen clear cut statements.
These Won Hertling has answered in
order.
l. President Wilson asks for open dip
lomacy, open covenants of peace openly
arrived at. Germany states that she has
always been an exponent of this and
claims that her enemies have been the
advocates of secret compacts.
q Germany declares herself in favor
of FREEDOM OF THE SEAS; but de-
clines to consider any International ar
rdngement which might make for the
enforcement of international covenants.
She advocated the abandonment OF
strongly fortified naval bases on inpor
tant international trade and commerce
routes. t. e.: Gibraltar, Hong Hong,
Malta.
8. Germany favors the removal of eco
nornic barriers which interfere with trade
and condemns economic war.
4. It is possible, she declares. that linn
itation of ornaments might be agreed
upon, at the termination of the war.
g. On the point of colonial adjustments
Germany does not comfait herself.
6. She declines to allow any interfss
