 WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. H. The president, addressing congress in joint session at l2:30 o'clock today replied to the recent speeches by Ger man Chancellor von Hertling and the Austrian foreign minister, Count CZernin.
 Chancellor von Hertling's state ment, the president said, was very vague and confusing and leads to practically no conclusion. It was very different in tone from Count Czerin's, which, the president said, had very friend,y tone.
 The president reiterated that the United States had no desire to inter- icre in Eur0neap affairs and would disdain to take advantage of any in ternal weakness or disorder to inn pose her own will upon other people D
 All the way through the president drew a parallel between the pro. rouncements of Chancellor Hertling and Foiegin Minister Czernin and his hearers drew the conclusion that the president decidedly considered Czer- nin's Ltterances as being more favor able than Hertling's.
 "Czcrnin seems to see the funda> mental clements 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 farther had it not been for the em- barrassment of Austria's alliances and of her dependence on Germany"
 Again, the president reiterated tha, the United States was in the war and would put forth its whole strength lin the war of emancipation"
 The test of whether it is possible for the belligerents to go on compar- ing views, the president said, was simple and obvious and the principles tc be applied, he said, were as fol- lows:
 "l-Each part of the final settle ment must be based upon essential justice to bring permanent peace.
 "2-Peoplcs and provinces are not to be bartered about like chattels to establish 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 aspira- tions must be accorded all possible 
 "A general peace on such founda- tions can be discussed, said the presi- dent. Until such a peace can be secured we have no choice but to goI on"
