in the common purpose to set up such a peace as will satisfy the longing of
 the whole world for disinterested jus tice. embodied in settlements which
 are based upon something much bet ter and much more lasting than the
 selfish competitive interests of self
 isA states. There is no longer any
 doubt as to what the victOrs have in
 mind.
 They have a mind in the matter, not only but a heart also. Their
 avowed and concerted purpose is to satisfy and protect the weak as well as to accord their just rights to the strong.
 The humane temper and Intention
 of the victorious governments has already been manifested in a very practical way. Their representatives in the supreme council at Versailles have by unanimous resolution assured the peoples of the central empires that everything that is possible in the circumstances will be done to supply them with food and relieve the dis dressing want that is in so many places threatening their very lives: and steps are to be taken immediate ly to organize these efforts at relief in the same systematic manner tat they were organized in the case of Belgium. By the use of the idle ton mage Of the central empires il ought presently to be possible tO lift the fear of utter misery from their Op- pressed populations and set their minds and energies free for the great and hazardous tasks of political re- construction which now face them on every hand.

When peace Is made. upon whose premises and engagements besides our own is it 10 rest?
 Let us be- perfectly frank with our selves anG admit that these questions cannot be satisfactorily answered now or at once But the moral is not that there is little hope of an early answer that will suffice. lt Is only that we must be patient and helpful and mind fut above all Of the great hope and that lie at the heart of what is taking place. ExceSSes .ac- nothing Unhappy Russia has furnished abundant recent proof Of that Disorder immediately de- feats itself If excesses should occur. if disorder should for a time raise it's head a sober second thought will fol- low and day of constructive action arrive.
 The present and all that it holds belongs to the nations and the peoples who preserve their self-cOntrol and he orderly process of their govern nents: the future to those who prove themselves true friends of mankind.
