peace, therefore, is our program,
and that program, the only pos
sibIe program, as we see it, is
this:
"1-Open covenant of peace,
openly arrived at, after which
there shall be no private inter-
national understandings of any
kind, but diplomacy shall pro-
ceed always frankly and in the
public view.
"2-Absolute freedom of nav
igation upon the seas, outside
territorial waters, alike in peace
and in war, except as the seas
may be closed in whole or in
part by international action for
the enforcement of international
covenants.
"3-The removal, so far as
possible, of all economic barriers
and the establishment of an
equality of trade conditions
among all nations consenting to
the peace and associating them
selves for it's maintenance.
"4-Adequate guarantees CIV
en- and taken that national arm
aments will be reduced to the
lowest point consistent with do.
mestic safety.
"5-A free. open-minded, and
absolutely impartial adjustment
of all colonial claims, based upon
a strict observance of the prin-
ciple that in determining all such
questions of sovereignty the in
terests of the populations con-
cerned must have equal weight
with the equitable claims of the
government whose title is to be
determined.
"6-The evacuation of all Rus
sian territory and such a settle
ment of all questions affecting
Russia as will secure the best
and freest cooperation of the
other nations of the world in OBJ
tanning for her an unhampered
and unembarrassed opportunity
for the independent determine
ton Of her own political devel-
opment and national policy and
assure her of a sincere welcome
into the society of free nations
under institutions of her own
choosings and, more than a wei,
come, assistance also of every
kind that she may need and may
herself desire. The treatment
accorded Russia by her sister ma

be the acid test of their gooC

her needs as distinguished from
their own interests, and Of theil
