spsciaI Dispatch to The T,s1ure)

can MEMBER OF the senate forelgn Re
latjons Committee and since the death
Of Senator Gallinger virtually Republi-
can leader of the Senate, to-day set
forth the following terms on which the
limited States should agree to peace
with Germany:
"l. Belgium must be restored.
80. Alsace and Lorraine must be
returned to France-uncondit
returned-not merely because sem
,in,ent and eternal justice demand it,
but because the iron and coal of Lor-
rsine must be forever taken from Ger
many.
"3 Italia Irredenta-all those areas
where the Italian race is predominant,
including Trieste must 60 back to
Italy.
"4. Serbia and Rumania must be es-
tablished in their independence.
"5 Greece must be made safe.
"6. Mos. important of all, if we are
to make the world safe in the way
we mean il to be safe, the great Slav
populations now under the government
Of Austria - the Jugo-Slavs and the
Czecho Siovahs, who nave been used
10 aid the Germans, whom they
loathe-must be permitted to establish
independent states, as also must the
people Of Poland.
"S And we must have these indie
pendent states created so they will
stand across the pathway of Germany
70 the East Nothing is more vital
than this for just. righteous and
an enduring peace.
Views on Russia
80. The Russian provinces taken
from Russia by the villanous peace
Of Brest-Litovsk must be restored to
Russia. The President. as you all re-
member, has announceo with wisdom
and foresight the vast Importance of
sustaining Russia. If Germany con-
tnues to hold q large part of Russia.
the world for years TO come will be
under the shadow of another great war
which will surely be precipitated upon
US when Germany has developed her
Russian possessions to the point of
yielding her men. money and supplies.
"10. Constantinople must be finally
taken away from Turkey and placed
in the hands OF the Allied nations as
free port. so as to bar Germanys
way to the East and hold the Darda-
nelles open for the benefit of mankind
We must not be beguiled into conces-
lions to Turkey in the hope of sepa-
rating her from Germany. 1t would be
miserable outcome to have Turkey
retained in Europe, curse to her sub
iects and neighbors, plague spot and
breeder OF wars. Her massacres
must not under any pretence be con-
dsned nor her iniquities rewarded.
Let Turkey and Bulgaria share the
fate Of their master and be so treated
that they will be unable again to
trouble the world.
81. Palestine must never return to
Turkish rule, and the prosecuted
Christians OF Asia Minor-the Syrians
and the Armenians-must be made
safe"
Victory Worth Having
These are the principal conditions"
ne continued, which alone will give US
victory worth having and when we
AK about complete peace and just
and righteous peace let it be known to
al! the world that this is what We
mean. 1t is idle TO talk about our an
initiating the German people. Nobody,
oi course, has any such idea. It could
aot De done, even Il we wished to do it.
we are not engaged in this war to try
20 arrange government for Germany.
ne German people must do that them
selves, and they Will get precisely the
government that they desire and de-
seNe-Just as they now have the gov
eminent they prefer, whose purposes
anu ambitions and barbarism they
snare and sustain.
