 At every turn of the war We gain a fresh consciousness of what we mean to accomplish by it. When our hope and expectations are most excited we think more definitely than before of the issues that hang upon it and of the purposes which must be realized by means of it. For it has positive and well defined purposes which We did not determine and which We cannot alter. No statesman or assembly ere ated them; no statesman or assembly can alter them. They have arisen out of the very nature and circumstances of the war The most that statesmen or assemblies can do is to carry them out or be false to them. They were perhaps not clear at the outset; but they are clear now. The war has last ed more than four years and the whole world has been drawn into it. The common will of mankind has been substituted for the particular purposes of individual states. Individual states men may have started the conflict, but neither they nor their opponents can stop it as they please. It has be- come a peoples war and peoples of all sorts and races, of every degree of power and. variety of fortune are in volved in its sweeping processes of change and settlement. We came into it when it's character had become fully defined and 1t was plain that no na- tion could stand apart or be indiffer- ent to it's outcome. Its challenge drove to the heart of everything we cared for and lived for. Our brothers from many lands, as well as our own murdered dead under the sea, were calling to us, and we responded, fierce ly and of course.
 The air was clear about us. We saw things in their full, convincing prOpor- tions as they were; and we have seen them with steady eyes and unchanging comprehension ever since. We ac- cepted the issues of the war as facts, not as any group of men either here or elsewhere had defined them, and we can accept no outcome which does not squarely meet and settle them. Those issues are these:
 Shall the military power of any na- ton or group of nations be suffered to determine the fortunes of peoples over whom they have no right to rule except the right of force?
 Shall strong nations be free to wrong weak nations and make them subject to their purpose and interests:
 Shall peoples be ruled and dOminat- ed, even in their own internal affairs by arbitrary and irresponsible force or by their own will and choice?
 Shall there be a common standard of right and privilege for all peoples and nations or shall the strong do as they will and the weak suffer with put redress?
 Shall the assertion of right be hap nazarded and by casual alliance or shall there be a common concert to lblige the observance of common rights?
 No man, no group of men, chose -hese to be the issues of the struggle. They are the issues of it; and they must be settled-by no arrangement ,r compromise or adjustment of inter- ssts but definitely and once for all iAAA MAAh a AulA anu AAAACAtAAh NAcLA cN- ,eptance of the principle that the in- crest of the weakest is as sacred as he interest of the strongest.
 This is what we mean when we peak of a permanent peace, if We peak sincerely, intelligently and with real knowledge ana comprehension 1 ,f the matter we deal with.
 Permanent Peace
 We are all agreed that there can be 10 peace obtained by any kind of bar ,ain or compromise with the govern nents of the central empires because ! ye have dealt with them already and | lave seen them deal with other gov that were parties to this | at Brest-Litovsk and Bucha- | est. They have convinced us that they ] Ire without honor and GO not intend ] ustice. They observe no covenants, ! Iccept no principle but force and 1 heir own interest. We cannot come ! O terms with them They have made ! { impossible. The German people !. must by this time be fully aware that !. ye cannot accept the word Oi those i vho forced this war upon us. We do | lot think the same thoughts or speak ! he same language of agreement.
 IL is of capital importance that we 1 hould be explicitly agreed that no ! ,eace shall be obtained by any kind If compromise or abatement of the principles we have avOwed as the prln- .iples for which we are fighting. There hould exist no doubt about them. 1 !. m, therefore, going tO take the lib- ! .Tty of speaking with the utmost rankness about the practical implica- 1 ions that are involved in it.
 If it be indeed and in truth the common object Of the governments as- ,ociated against Germany and of the nations whom they govern, as l believe { to be, to achieve by the coming set dement's a secure and lasting peace, t will be necessary that all wno sit Town at the peace table shall come 'eady and willing tJ pay the pro-, he only price, that will procure ,t, md ready and will, also, to create il some virile fashion the only instTu- mentality by which it can De made certain that the agreements Of the leaco will be hOnored and fululls1.
 That price is impartial justice il every item of the settlement, no ma-- CT whose interest is crossed; anJ not lnly impartial justice but also the aat-
