PRESIDENTS FOUR
PEACE RULES THAT
GERMANY ACCEPTS

The German chancellor refers to
the statement of President Wilson be-
fore congress on Monday, Feb. II. In
which he summed up the principles
that must be applied to an enduring
peace, as follows:
/. That each part OF the final
settlement must be based upon the
essential justice Of that particu-
lar cause and upon such adjust
ments as are most likely to bring
a peace that will be permanent.

are not to be bartered about from
sovereignty to sovereignty ~ II

In a game, even the great game.

balance of power; but that.
3. Every territorial settlement
involved in this war must be made
in the interest and for the benefit
of the populations concerned, and
not as a part Of any adjustment or
compromise Of claims among rival
states; and
4. That all well-defined national
aspirations shall be accorded the
utmost satisfaction that can be ac-
corded them without introducing
new or perpetuating old elements
of discord and antagonism that
would be likely in time to break
the peace of Europe and conse-
Quently of the world.

q can fundamentally agree

"Only one reserve need be made In
this connection: These principles must
not only be proposed by the president
of the United States, but also must
actually be recognized by all states
and peoples.
But this goal has not yet been
reached. There Is still no court OF
arbitration established by all the ma
lions for the preservation of peace In
the name Of justice.
when President Wilson incident
