Four Principles Laid
Dou~a by Wilson
AS Basis for Peace

In his address to Congress on Feb
ruary II last President Wilson said
the final settlement of the war must
accord with the following four prin
ciples:
l. Each part of the final settle
ment must be based upon the essen
tial justice of that particular case
and upon such adjustments as are
the most likely to bring a peace that
VIII be permanent
2. Peoples and provinces are not
to be bartered about from sover-
eighty TO sovereignty, as if they were
mere chattels and pawns in a game.
even the great game, now forever
discredited, of The balance Of power;
but thai.
3. Every territorial settlement in
VOWED in this war must be made in
the interest and for tho benefit of
the populations concerned. and not
AS part Of any mere adjustment or
compromise of claims among rival
states; and.
4. All we'll defined national aspira-
lions shall be accorded the utmost
satisfaction that can be accorded
them without introducing new or
perpetuating old elements of discord
and antagonism that would be likely
IN time TO break the peace of Europe
and consequently of the world

Whole Diplomacy of
Allies Proves F allure

The whole Allied diplomacy, since,
influenced by the BoIsheviki, this coun-
try and the other foes of Germany be-
gan an attempt to foster a liberal
opposition to German mihtarsm in
Germany itself, has fallen to ruin. 1t
lies PROSTATE. Trotzky cries out that
he felt sure that his Comrades" in
Germany would never let the German
mperialists ravage defenceless and un-
resisting Russia.
Allied diplomacy cuts to-day figure
like Trotzky's. And because President
Wilson carried that diplomacy one step
further in his latest speech than did
the more experienced diplomats Of
England and France, who, perhaps,
know their Germany better than does
the President, it is particularly neces-
sary for him to make himself heard
forthwith.
AS was pointed out in these dis
patches when Mr.. Wilson made his last
speech, he and the German Chancellor
were playing the same game. Eacn
was talking peace for the purpose of
holding together liberal opinion in his
own camp and of driving wedge
between liberal opinion and the gov
ernment in the enemies countries.
New-York tribune., 1918-02-26
Versailles Council
Saw the Danger

The danger of this game seems 10
have been sufficiently realized in Eng
land and France, and the Versailles
Council went on record as opposed to
going any further with It, Mr.. Wilson,
however. did go further with it, The
result is that Germany has played the
game best and has won. She concealed
her purposes under half liberal reso-
lutions of the Reichstag in favor Of
no anneXationist policies and of suf-
frage reform, and under fair speech es
by her partner, Austria's, Chancellor
She spread the illusion, in some quar-
ters, that q democratic peace might be
obtained.
President Wilson, gaining "a certain
authority in the field of international
politics by his extraordinary gift for
expressing international idealism, con-
tributed TO that Illusion The Russian
people believed and were betrayed.
The Allies and their co-belligerents
but it is impossible to estimate what
damage has been done here and in
Allied centres by the peace illusion.
Ideas tremendously influence our ca
pacty for preparation. witness the
effect of Mr.. Bakers view that "the
war was not on us, but 5000 miles
from our Shores upon our Ordnance
Bureau in its dealing with Lewis guns
and other equipment for fighting.

selves to believe in 1914 that there
could be nu war mad so far recovered
their faith in 1918 as to believe ttat
there could in this year of grace be no
more shameful grabbing of territories
We had got far beyond that The lib
erals, the Socialists, with their inter
national sympathies, would prevent it.
Germany has profted by the new ideal
ism, just as she did by the old idealism,
in the uapreparedness of the Allies for
her cynical rapacity.
No one now holds out any hope that
the German liberals will turn against
their government for its gross disre-
gard for the no anneXationist formula.
The virtual conquest of Russia, or at
least of Western Russia, offers to the
exhausted people of the Central En-
pires what they most wanted-food.
There is no use Of blinking the fact
the Ukraine is full Of food, as the Ad-
ministration knows. Transportation is
not nearly in such bad condition as
certain official uttcrances might lead
the people to believe. Tine food can be
got to the Danube and shipped up that
river into Austria and Germany.
Besides, the new vassal states Ger
many is creating present the hope that
all conquered territory presents--the
hope of land to settle and develop, the
hope of commercial opportunities And
besides, of even as great psychological
consequence, the "iron ring" so care
fully forged around Germany is now
probably forever broken.

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 25.-Speakinc be-
Tore the Reichstag to-day the Imperial
German Chancellor, Count Won Hert-
lirg made this declaration:
i can fundamentally agree with the
tour principles, which in President
Wilson'S view must be applied in
mutual exchange of views. and thus de-
clare with President Wilson that gen
eral peace can be discussed on such a
basis.
Only one reserve need be made in
TINS connection: These principles must
not only be proposed by the President
OF the United States. but must also ac
tually be recognized by all states and
peoples"
World Is Prejudicedv
But this goal has not vet been
reached There is still no court of ar
bitratlon established by all the nations
for the preservation of peace in the
name of justice. When President Will
son incidentally says that the German
chancellor is speaking to the tribunal
OF the entire world, must decline this
tribunal as prejudiced, joyfully as |
would greet it, if an impartial court of
arbitration existed, and gladly as I
would cooperate to realize such ideals.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.--Presdent
Wilson will probably be heard from in
a few days with regard to the peace
which Germany is forcing upon Russia.
He has made himself the leader of lib
eral opinion in the Allied world. The
liberals have been fed with the
false hope of an early peace. What
ever may have been Mr.. Wilson's in
tention, the spreading of this illusion
was the inevitable consequence of his
last speech and. indeed, of all the re-
cent Allied diplomacy, of which he was
the spokesman.
The liberal r1erale will have 10 be
restored, after its disappointment in
finding. along with Mr.. Trotzky, that
no public opinion has developed in
Germany which will prevent the mill
tary party there from proceeding with
IS much cynicism to-day as it did when
it invaded and wrecked Belgium.
Mr.. Wilson will probably not wait
for Count Czcrnin to reply to his last
speech. 1t is hardly necessary for
Czernin to reply. Germany has re-
piled. What Interpretation the Cen
trail Powers put upon Mr. Wilson's
four principles for settling the war is
now written plain over the eastern
half Of Europe. Self determination
There is an object lesson in self-de-
termination as Germany understands

Another Peace Drive
By Germans Expected

The desire for peace Will remain in
Germany, and probably the absorption
of Russia and practically also of hu-
mania will be followed by serious
effort by Germany for peace. She has
always followed conquests by drive
for peace. partly counting upon the dis
couragement of her foes and partly
aiming to prove to her own war-we-ry
citizens that peace is not to be OBJ
tanned except by the surrender of ter
ritories upon which they have greedily
set their hearts. But there is no room
for further peace offensives by the
Allies.
Wedge driving is discredited pol
ICY 1t is recognized here at last, or
al any rate for the time, that there is
no course left open but to fight the war
out to the end. The talk Of peace this
summer which has filled the ears of
Washington for weeks has stopped.
Nothing is heard now but war
One gain from the breakdown of
these individual diplomatic offensives
should be real union among the Al
lies. The situation among them diplo-
matically is similar TO the military dis
union among them before the Italian
catastrophe. President Wilson has
made an Independent peace offensive,
just as General Cadorna made an in
dependent military offensive. General
Cadorna's offensive was disastrous.
President Wilson's offensive has been,
to say the least Improbable. The only
clearly perceptible effect from it was
that it contributed to an uncomfortable
moment for the British government
