u. S. Can Never Be Crushed.

These great objects can be put into
a single sentence. What we seek is
the reign of law. based upon the con-
sent of the governed and sustained by
the organized opinion of mankind.
"These great ends cannot be
achieved by debating and seeking TO
reconcile and accommodate what
statesmen may wish, with their prof.
ects for balances of power and of ma
tional opportunity. They can be
reached only by the determination of
what the thinking people of the world
desire with their longing hope for
justice and for social freedom and op-
portunity.
81 can fancy that the air of this
place carries the accents Of such prin-
ciples with a prouder kindness. Here
where started forces which the great
nation against which they were pri-
marily directed at first regarded as a
revolt against its authority but which
has long since seen 10 have been a
step in the liberation of its own peo-
nle as we'll as of the people of the
United States-and | stand here now
TO speak. speak proudly and with con-
fident hope-of the spread OF this re-
volt. this liberation To the great state
of the world itself. TIE blinded rul-
ers Of Prussia have aroused forces they
knew little of-forces which. once
aroused. can never be crushed to earth
again-for they have at their heart an
inspiration and purpose which are
deathless and of the very stun OF tri-
umph."

Settlement Must Be Final.

There can be but one issue. The
settlement must be final. There can
be no compromise. No halfway de-
cisiOn would be tolerable. No half
way decision is conceivable. These
are the ends for which the associated
peoples of the world are fighting and
which must be conceded them before
there can be peace: l. The destruction
of every arbitrary power anywhere
that can separately, secretly and of It's
single choice disturb the peace Of the
world; or, If 1T cannot be presently de-
stroyed, at the least its reduction to
virtual impotence.
50. The settlement of every question,
whether of territory, of sovereignty, of
economic arrangement, or of political
relationship, upon the basis of the free
acceptance of that settlement by the
people Immediately concerned, and not
upon the basis of the material interest
or advantage of any other nation or
people which may desire a different
settlement for the sake of its own ex-
terror influence or mastery.
80. The consent of all nations to be
governed in their conduct towards
each other by the same principles Of
honor and of respect for the common
law of civilized society that govern
the individual citizens of all modern
states In their relations with one an
other; to the end that all promises and
covenants may be sacredly observed, no
private plots or cOnspiracies Matched,
no selfish injuries wrought with impun-
ity and a mutual trust established
upon the handsome foundation of a
mutual respect for right.
II. The establishment of an organi-
cation of peace which shall make 1t
certain that the combined power of
free nations will check every invasion
of right and serve TO make peace and
justice the more secure by affOrding
definite tribunal of opinion TO which
all must submit and by which every
international readjustment that cannot
be amicably agreed upon by the peo-
pies directly concerned shall be sane
toned.
