! a. That price IL impartial Justice in
every item Of the settlement, no matter
whose Interest 10 crossed; aud not only
impartial Justice but also the satisfac.
, tion Of the several peoples whose for.
tunes are dealt with. That the indis
pensable inStrumentality Is q league of
nations, formed under governments that
4 viii be eflicacious. without such an
| instrumentality, by which the peace Of
1the world can BE Guaranteed, peace will
rest In part upon the word Of outlaws
and only upon that word. For Germany
VIII haVejtn redeem her character, not
! by what happens at the peace table,
| but BY what follows :,
! And as i see itthe constitution Of
| that leagBe Of nations and the clear
| definition of it's objects must be part,
I Is in q sense the most essential part,
Of the peace settlement itself. 1t can,
( not be formed now. II formed now,
IL would be merely a new alliance con
fined 10. the nations. n ssociated against
! a common enemy n Is not likely that
+ 10 could be formed after the settlement.
II IL necessary to guarantee the peace;
; and the peaeP cannot be guaranteed a.
! an afterthought. The reason, to speak
IN plain terms, parties to the peace
/ whose promises have proved untrust
worthy, and means must he found in
connection with the peace settlement
, itself to remove that source Of insecur.
ity. It would be folly to leave the
guarantee TO the subsequent voluntary
action OF the governments we have seen
I DESTROY Russian and deceive ROumania.
"But those general terms do not dis
close the whole matter. Some details
are needed to make them sound less
ike thesis md more like practical
program. These, then, are some of
the particulars, and I state them with
the greatest confidence because can
state them authoritatively as respecting
this government 3 Interpretation of its
own duty with regard to peace:
Some Of the Particulars
"First: The impartial justice mceted
out must involve no discrimination he
tween those to whom we wish to be
lust and tbosN to whom We 10 not wish
:" be lust. 1t must be Justice that
plays no favOrites and knows no stan
dard, but the equnl rights of the several
peoples eoneerued;
'Second: no special or separate 10
terest of any single nation or any group
Of Dations ern be made the basis of any
part OF the settlement which is not
consistent with the common interest of
oil:
"rhiI6: there can I've no leagues or
pllianees or special covenants and un-
derstaDdings within the general and
common family of IA" league of ma
tiOns;
Fourth: =, and more specifically,
there can be no special, selfish econ
onlic combinations within the league
and II" employment Of any form of
economic boycott or exclusion except a
the power of economic penalty by cx-
clusion from the markets of the worhl
may be vested in the LEAGUE Of nations
itself as a means Of discipline and con,
troll
"Fifth: all international agreements
and treaties of every kind must he
made known In their entirety to the
rest of the world.
Especial alliances and economic ri
valries and hostilities have been the
prolific source in the modern world of
the plans and passions that produc"
war It would be an insincere as well
as an insecure peace that did not cx
cIude them in definite and binding
terms.
