Full of Significance.

The whole incident is full of sig-
nificance. 1t is also full OF per-
plexity With whom are the Russian
representatives dealing? For whom
are the representatives of the cen
trail empires speaking? Are they
speaking for the majorities of their
respective parliaments or for the
minority parties, that military and
imperialistic minority which has so
far dominated their whole policy
and controlled the affairs of Turkey
and of the Balkan states which
have felt obliged to become their
associates in this war? The Rus
sian representatives have insisted,
very justly, very wisely. and in the
true spirit of modern democracy.
that the conferences they have been
holding with the Teutonic and Turk
ish statesmen should be held within
open, not closed, doors, and all the
world has been audience, as was de-
sired To whom have We been lis
tening, then? To those who speak
the spirit and intention of the reso-
lutions of the German reichstag of
the 9th of July last. the spirit and
intention of the liberal leaders and
parties of Germany, or to those who
resist and defy that spirit and in
tention and insist upon conquest and
subjugation? Or are we listening. in
fact, to both. unreconciled and in
open and hopeless contradiction?
nant questions. Upon the answer to
them depends the peace of the
world.

Attempted to Acquaint.

But whatever the results of the
parleys at Brest-Litovsk, whatever
the confusion of counsel and of pur-
pose in the utterances of the spokes-
men of the central empires, they
have again attempted to acquaint
the world with their objects in the
war and have again challenged their
adversaries to say what their OBJ
jects are and what sort of settle
ment they would deem just and sat
isfactory. There is no good reason
why that challenge should not be
responded to, and responded to with
the utmost candor. We did not wait
for it. Not once, but again and
again, we have laid our whole
thought and purpose before the
world. not in general terms only,
but each time with sufficient defini-
tion to make it clear what sort of
definitive terms of settlement must
necessarily spring out of them.
Within the last week Mr.. Lloyd
George has spoken with admiral
candor and in admirable spirit for
the people and government of Great
Britain. There is no confusion of
counsel among the adversaries of
the central powers, no uncertainty
of principle. no vagueness of detail.
The only secrecy of counsel. the only
lack Of fearless frankness. the only
failure to make definite statement of
the objects of the war, lies with Ger
many and her allies. The issues of
life and death hang upon these def
nitions. No statesman who has the
least conception of his responsibility
ought for a moment to permit himself
to continue this tragical and appall-
ing outpouring Of blood and treasure
unless he is sure beyond a peradyen-
ture that the objects of the vital sac
rifce are part and parcel of the very
life of society and that the people for
!. whom he speaks think them right and
imperative as he does.

Our Program.

i. Open covenants of peace. openly
arrived at. after which there shall
be no private International UNDER
standings of any Kind. but diplomacy
shall proceed always frankly and in
the public view.
II. Absolute freedom of navigation
upon the seas, outside territorial
waters. alike in peace and in war,
except nv the seas may be closed
in whole or in part by international
action for the enforcement of inter-
national covenants.
FL. The removal, SO far as nos
sibic, of all economic barriers and
the establishment of an equality of
trade conditions amon:; all the ma
tiOns consentinS to the peace and
associating themselves for it's
maintenance.
". Adequate guarantees given
and taken that national armaments
will he reduced to the lowest poipt
consistent with domestic safety.
v. free. Open-mintied and abso-
luteiy impartial Adjustment of all
colonial claims. based upon "a strict
observance of the principle that in
determining all such questions of
sovereignty the interests of the
populations concerned must have
equal weight with the equitable
claims OF the government whose
title is to be determined.

all questions affecting Huxsin as

more than welcome, assistance
also of every kind that she may
need and may herself desire. The
treatment accorded Russia by her
sister nations in the months to come
will be the acid test of their good

own interests, and of their fntelli-
gent and unseIfsa sympathy.
