PRESIDENTS PEACE TERMS
AS SET BEFORE CONGRESS.
IN ADDRESS OF JANUARY 8

VIII. All French territory should be
freed and the invaded portions re-
stored, and the wrong done to France
by Prussia in 1871 in the matter OF
Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled
the peace of the world for nearly
fifty years, should be righted, In order
that peace may once more be made
secure in the interest of all. :
SIX. A readjustment Of the frontiers
of Italy should be effected along
clearly recognizable lines Of national-
OK. The peoples Of Austria-H Hungary,
whose place among the nations we
wish to see safeguasded and assured,
should be accorded the freest oppor-
tunity Of autonomous development.
XXI. Rumania, Serbia and Monte

territories restored; Serbia accorded
free and secure access to the sea; and
the relations of the several Balkan
states to one another determined by
friendly counsel along historically
established lines of allegiance and
nationality; and international guaran-
tees Of the political and economic in
dependence and territorial integrity of
the several Balkan states should be
entered into.
xii. The Turkish portions of the
present Ottoman empire should be as
sured secure sovereignty, but the
other nationalfties which are Row I'M
der Turkish rule should be assured
an undoubted security of life and an
absolutely unmolested opportunity OF
autonomous development, and the
DardanelleS should be permanently
opened as free passage to the ships
and commerce of all nations under
international guarantees.
Independent Polish State.
'"xIII An Independent Polish state
should be erected which should in
clude the territories inhabited by in
disputably Polish populations. which
should be assured a free and secure
access to the sea, and whose political

teed by international covenant.
XIV. A general association Of ma
lions must be formed under specific
covenants for the purpose of afford
ing mutual guarantees of political in
dependence and territorial integrity
to great and small states alike.
I'm regard to these essential recti-
fications of wrong and assertions of
partners of all the governments and
peoples associated together against
the imperialists. We cannot be sep
arated in interest or divided in pur-
pose. We stand together until the
end.
For such arrangements and cove
nants we are willing to fight and to
continue. to fight until they are
achieved; but only because we wish
the right to prevail and desire just
and stable peace such as can be Sc
cured only by removing the chief
provocations to war, which this pro-
gram does remove"

Movement Was Not Needed.

Yet the President has never estop-
ped himself from considering peace
suggestions or defining Americas war
aims at any time that he deems the
occasion opportune. There never was
any need for the propaganda started
by well known organization. which
not only advertised in the news
papers, but asked its members to tele-
graph the President to stand against
premature peace. Whatever mis-
givings may have been entertained
hoped. be swept aside. But at the
same time it may well be asked when
some further and more explanatory
statement of Americas position may
be expected. 1t may be asked what
can Germany do to get more than
perfunctofy consideration by our gov
eminent of her peace feelers.
The Presidents earlier expressions
on the subject of peace make it plain
that he wants guarantees. Mere YER
bal acceptance even Of the conditions
he laid down would not be sufficient
because, as Mr.. Wilson once asked
after the Brest-Litovsk treaty: who
is the German government" Not
until it is evident that the express
sions of German statesmen are in ac-
cord with those of the German people
as a whole and that the German peo-
pie are in position to guarantee the
pledges they make will it be possible
to enter into a discussion of peace.
So far as can be observed at pres
emit, no one in our government believes
the German people will express them
selves through responsible statesmen
in terms that can be regarded as q
basis for peace until the illusion of

SURPRISE I0SQME
Certain Persons Were Ex-
pecting Him to Temporize
With the Enemy.
D0UBTERS ARE SILENCED
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright. 1918, by n. 7. Evening Post, Incl
President Wilson apparently is
never to stop furnishing surprises to
those who have not fathomed his
policies. For 1t is no secret to say
that in the reception given here to
the Presidents refusal to talk peace
with Austria there were mingled
feelings of qualification and surprise.
Those who have all along been say
ing the President would temporize
with the enemy and enter into nego-
tiations at favorable opportunity
were as much taken back by the
firmness of his answer as by his abb
solute declination to go into details
and give reasons.
Only week ago Secretary Tumulty
was expressing at the Presidents re-
quest indignation that the question
of any early peace should be confused
at all with democratic leaders" and
partisan politics, and while the merits
of the controversy itself are no longer
matter of public concern, for Mr..
Hays repudiated the published re-
marks originally attributed to him,
1t was evident then that the President
deeply resents any suggestion that
he will bargain or compromise with
poses or any other purpose under the

in the note can result in no good,
but, fear, in great harm.

Brevity, Belligerency Itself.

Germany and Austria will learn an
have been privately worrying whether
the President meant to see the war
through. The brevity of the Presf-
dents reply is belligerency itself. 1t
and Austria will hereafter discover
how soon America will make peace
only by referring to the conditions laid
down by MIR. Wilson at time when
1t could not be said that our point of
view was affected by an uncontrolled
fees. Mr.. Wilson made plain America
terms in language at once as moderate
and conciliatory as it was uneQuivocal
So far as the President Is concerned,
words will not satisfy the conditions
which he laid down. Action alone can
bring confidence.
What Americas reply means, in eff
feet, is that, while the United States
is always willing to consider peace
terms, it Is not always willing to ac-
cept that which is offered. 1t is pre-
cisely at this point that those who
have been fearful lest Mr.. Wilson by
his tremendous influence would bring
about an earlier ending of the war
than would be good for the world
have misunderstood him. When not
so long ago he followed a fiat rejec-
ton by the allied press of Lord Lans-
doWne's suggestion by a definition of
war aims there were many in official
Washington who thought the Presi-
dent was angling for peace. Ever
since that time a certain apprehen-
sion has been noticeable in quarters
course in domestic policies was slowly
translating itself into an unwarrant-
ed distrust of his management of in
ternational affairs.
