Washington, Feb. 12.- President
Wilson addressing Congress In joint
session Monday replied to the recent
speeches by German Chancellor Won
Hertling and the Austrian foreign
minister. Count Cxernin.
Chancellor Won Hertling's statement,
the President said. was very vague
and confusing and leads to practically
NO conclusion. 1t was very different
in tone from Count Cxernin. which. the
tone.
The President reiterated that the
United States had no desire to inter
fere in European affairs and would
disdain to take advantage Of any in
ternal weakness or disorder to impose
her own will upon other people,"
All the way through the President
drew parallel between the pro-
nouncements Of Chancellor Hertling
and Foreign Minister Cxernin and his
hearers drew the conclusion that the
President decidedly considered Ger
Minis utterances as being more favor
able that Hertlfng's.
"Czernin seems to see the funda-
mental elements of peace with clear
eyes and does not seek to obscure
them," said the President.
Count Czernin," said the President,
probably would have gone much far
ther had 1t not been for the embarrass-
ment of Austria's alliances and Of her
dependence on Germany"
Again, the President reiterated that
the United States was in the war and
would put forth its whole strength "in
the war Of emancipation
The test of whether 1t is possible
for the belligerents to go on compar-
ing views. said the President, was sim
pie and obvious and the principles to
be applied, he said, were as follows:
Each part of the final settlement
must be based upon essential justice
to bring a permanent peace.
Peoples and provisions are not
to be bartered about like chattels to
establish a balance Of power.
3-Territorial settlements must be
for the benefit of people concerned
and not merely adjustment Of rival
states claims.
4-Well-defined national aspirations
must be accorded all possible satisfac-
tion.
"a general peace upon such founda-
tions can be discussed" said the Pres
ident. Until such a peace can be SO
cured we have no choice but to go
on"
These general principles. the Pres
ident said. have been accepted by
everyone except the military auto
Gratis in Germany.
