 don Press.
CALLED DOCUMENT OF
 WORLD IMPORTANCE
Careful and Sympathetic-Drumfire on Enemy'S Moral POSifi0n-Are Terms Used-CVmpaSed to
 PreMier'S Statement.

London, Jan. 9-PresiGent Will sons speech, like all his utterances since America entered the war, takes the leading place in both the news and editorial columns of the Lon don press. One newspaper describes it as the magma charta of future peace"
 Coming so closely on the heels Of Premier Lloyd-George's address at the labor conference the words of iSh governments are compared close ly. While some differences are found in the manner of discussing the various questions. this evening 5 newspapers find no disagreement in essential policy. The Pall Mall Gag ette notes that the president deals more sympathetically with the Bol- sheviki than did the premier, but points out that America has not sui fered from the Russian collapse as the western allies have.
 Careful and Sympathetic.
 The Westminster Gazette well comes Mr. Wilson's careful, sympa- thetic language, and says it hopes that all misunderstanding which may nave arisen from other state ments will be removed by unequivo- cal language in which the president adopts the Russian demands as his own."
 The speech appears in the newspa- pers under big headlines such as American Terms to Germany" and Great Program Of International Re forms.' The Evening News in its introduction describes the speech as one of the worldwide importance, in which the president laid down Ame- rica's peace terms in clear, direct and simple language.
 The Star emphasizes the passage referring to the freedom of the seas, reduced armaments, abolition of sec ret diplomac. and taking a stand against economic warfare after the conclusion of peace. It describes the speech as a clear-cut difinition of the aims of the allies.
 The Parallel Offensive.
 Under the heading "the parallel of fensive-a second blow the Stand ard heralds the presidents address as another notable contribution to the drumfire on the enemy's moral position.'
 This newspaper says the surrender of the German ruling class may be nearer than some think; therefore the allies must continue to drive home to the German people that fact that their sufferings will continue in ever-increasing severity until the kaiser accepts the principle of right over might"
 that the strongest German miro scopes will be taxed to find evidence of discord between his words and those of Premier Lloyd-George. It adds:
 Ns Difference in Policy. "The two documents vary in de- gree of emphasis or the fullness witl which thes handle particular questions, but there is not the slightest difference to be discovered in their conceptions of essential poli cy.'
 i After summarizing the speech the Pail Mall Gazette continues:
 If the German press does not like Mr. LloydGeoree's program it will scarcely find President Wilson's more consenial. President Wilson includes in his ultimate as pirations some conditions which may seem impracticable to our present vision and which in any case can on iy mature at the fruit of long-search ing deliberations. But the allies have proved their possession of q common and unselfish. purpose in the permanent removal of those men aces whereby the life of free people has been poisoned and ieopardized
