Editors Who Say
Wilson is Right

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1q.-Pres
Wilson's address TO congress last
week is interpreted by the Muen-
elmer Neuste Nachrichten and the
NuenchneT POST, two Of the largest
ne wspapers in south Germany as
showing a desire TO continue pUDiIC
peace discussions. Editorials from
issues of these papers on Feb. -,
received here by cable and made
public tonight By the committee on
public Information, urge the states
men OF the central powers 10 en-
deavor TO come 20 an understanding
with the United states.
The Neuste Nachrichten says:
The presidents speech shows .
clear desire to continue the public
discussion between washington and
the central powers.
sec Difference i'm Tone.
1t is important TO observe how
greatly Wilson differs in tone and
substance from the declarations Of
other entente statesmen. Today il Is
easily understood why America is
not politically represented at Yer
sailles. 1t is because Wilson's pres
ent policy is not the policy of Gle
menceau and Lloyd George.
1t should not deter Hertlins and
Czernin by defining more closely
their former declarations TO come TO
an agreement in principle with VIII
son. But the latter should also see
the justice of applying this beauti-
frI r,rfncfp1a the allies
Altogether Wilson shows himself
as the only opponent with whom
discussion is possible Therefore, it
is the duty of German statesmen TO
secure the greatest possible benefit
from this discussion.
America "Irresistible."
IF agreement with America can
succeed before its war machine as
sumes Irresistible momentum. the
whole entente will be unhinged.
Wilson'S reply TO Hertling and
Czernin shows the strong desire for
a general peace" says the Muen-
elmer Post. 1T must be admitted
that the president is entirely right
in many points of his solemnic
against Hertlins. The latter spoke
but formulated no positive pro-
sram.
The president places himself on
the basis of the reichstag resolution
in July, and thus a general peace
and reconciliation becomes possible.
This newspaper expects the chancel-
Tor to build now a binding bridge TO
America"
