WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-"It is
for the whole world which has borne
the burdens of war TO share in the
adjustments Of peace Pres't VIII
son today assured Americans hail
ing from Slesvig. who had urged
that he speak, and speak soon. in
order that those Of our people who
are less fortunate than we may be
granted the simple elementary
rights OF self-determination and self
government for the preservation of
which we and our children are now
working at home and lighting
abroad"
The former Slesvigers' petition,
which was endorsed by thousands Of
Americans of Danish descent, was
forwarded 10 the president by the
Rev. X. c. Bodholt Of Racine, Wis.
and the presidents reply was made
public today at the white house
No Reason for Delay.
we can see more than one reason
why, until now" the petition stated,
the name OF Slesvig has not been
included in any one Of those heart
stirring utterances of yours that are
being mada-to make the fundamen-
tai documents for the worlds re-
building into a safe refuge for true
democracy. But now. we believe that
all such reasons have lost theic
binding force"
The presidents reply, which iu
addition TO Rev. Bodholt. is address
ed TO Carl Plow Of Petoluma, Calf,
and Jens Jensen Of Chicago, follows
in part:
The statement you have given
me signed by former residents of
Slesvig and endorsed by a still
greater number OF Danes. now all
American citizens, voices anew an
unforgotten injustice. l can but as
sure you that your appeal TO Amer
ica's sympathy and passion for jus
tice will not go unheeded, for it
found itself wisely upon the rights
Of men TO rule themselves and 70
choose the manner in which that
self rule shall be exercised
Whole World 10 Share.
II do not doubt that your voice
and that Of your former country
men will be heard and needed
wherever the thought Of the nations
turns TO the righting of the old
wrongs kept fresh by the lengthen-
ed oppression of the intervening
years. 1t is for the whole world
which has borne the burdens of
the war 10 share in he adjust
ments of peace. Not America alone.
but all the peoples now quickened
to a newer sense of the values of
justice must join in the relief Of a
grievance whose continuance would
traverse the principles for which
more than a score Of nations are now
fighting
please accept on behalf Of tho
Slesvigers in this country my thanks
for the faith of which their petition
is an evidence and on behalf Of your
race in the old country. IL is my
earnest wish for the Fastening OF
the day when right and justice shall
prevail TO deliver them from op-
