Here Is Full Text of
Presidents Address

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. II.
The presidents speech follows:
Gentlemen of the Congress: On
the Sth of January I had the
honor of addressing you on the
objects of the war as our people
conceive them.
The prime minister of Great
Britain had spoken in similar
terms on the 5th of January.
To these addresses the German
chancellor replied on the Gath,
and Count Czernin, for Austria,
on the same day.
1t is gratifying to have our de-
sire so promptly realized that all
exchanges of view on this great
matter should be made in the
hearing of all the world.
Count Czernin's reply, which is
directed chiefly to my own ad-
dress on the Sth of January, is ut
tered in a very friendly tone.
He finds in my statement suf-
ficiently encouraging approach to
the views of his own government
to justify him in believing that 1t
furnishes basis for a more detail
ed discussion Of purposes by the
two governments.
He is represented to have init
mated that the views he was ex-
pressing had been communicated
to me beforehand, and that l was
aware of them at the time he was
uttering them; but in this / am
sure he was misunderstood. l had
received no intimation of what he
intended to say.
There was, of course, no reason
why he should communicate pri-
vately with me. / am quite con.
tent to be one of his public audi.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-02-11

Wnere. But II Is certainly in q
very different tone from that o.
Count Czernin and apparently OF
an opposite purpose.
1t confirms, ! am sorry to say
rather than removes, the unfor
tunate impression made by what
he had learned of the conferences
at Brest Litovsk.
His discussion and acceptance
OF our general principles lead him
to no practical conclusion. He re-
fuses to apply them to the sub.
stantiative items which must con-
stitute the body of any final set
Element.
He is jealous of internal action
and of international counsel. He
accepts, he says, the principle of
public diplomacy, but he appears
to insist that it be confined, at
any rate in this case, to generali-
ties, and that the several particu-
lar questions of territory and SOW
ereignty, the several questions
upon whose settlement must de-
pend the acceptance of peace by
the 23 states now engaged in the
war, must be discussed and set
tied, not in general council, but
severally by the nations most i'm
mediately concerned by interest

He agrees that the seas should

But the German colonies, he
