Lations formed, not before or after,

This was President Wilson's answer,
gwen Friday night before an audience
OF fourth Liberty loan workers here,
to the recent peace talk from the cen
tral powers.
The Presidents Address.
The president spoke In part as fol-
lows:
MY Fellow Citizens: I am not
here to promote the loan. That will
oe done-ably and enthusiastically
done-by the hundreds Of thousands
Of loyal and tlreless men and women
who have undertaken to present II to
you and to our fellow citizens through.
out the country, and l have not the
least doubt Of their complete success,
for ! know their spirit and the spirit
Of the country.
mo man Or woman who has really
taken In what this war means can hes
'tcte to give to the very limit Of what
they have.
And 1t 10 my mission here TO try
TO make clear once more what the
war really means. You will need no
ether stimulation.
We accepted the issues of the war
ss facts. not as any group of men
either here or elsewhere had defined
them. and We can accept no outcome
which does not squsrely meet and set
tie them.
The Wars Issues.
Those issues are these:
shall the military power Of any ma
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 interest 7
"Shall people be ruled and domInat.
cd. even In their own internal af.
fairs. by arbitrary and irresponsible
force. or by their own will and choice
shall there be a common stand.
ard Of right and privilege for all peo.
pies and nations or shall the strong
DO az they will and the weak suffer
without redressl
shall the assertion Of right be hap
hazard and by casual alliance or shall
'here be a common concert to oblige
the observance Of common rights3
"No man. no group Of men, chose
these to be the issues Of the strug.
R'e. They are the issues of II. and
'hey must be settled by no arrange.
men or compromise or adjustment Of
interests, hut definitely and once for
I'll and with a full and unequivocal
acceptance OF the principle that the
Interest Of the weakest Is as sacred
60 the interest Of the strongest.
"This is what we mean when VIC
speak OF permanent peace. II We
speak sincerely. intelligently, and
with a real knowledge and comprehen
sicn OF the matter we deal with.
I'VE are all agreed that there can be
no peace obtained by any kind OF bar
gain or compromise with the govern
ments of the central empires. because
we have dealt with them already AND
have seen them deal with other govern
ments that were party to this struggle
at Brest-Lltoysk and Bucharest.
They have convinced us that the,
are without honor and do not lntent
Justice. They observe no covenants
accept no principle but force and thei,
own interests.
I'VE cannot come to terms witt
them. They have made II Impossible
"The German people must by thi,
time be fully aware that we cannot nc
cept the word Of those who forced mi,
war upon us. We do not think Nh,
same thoughts or speak the same Ian
guage Of agreement.
1T Is Of capital Importance that W,
should be explicitly agreed that NJ
peace shall be obtained by any kind O,
compromise or abatement Of the prln
ciples We have ayowed as the princI
pies for which We are fighting. Ther,
should exist no doubt about that.
