WILSON'S TERMS
 GIVEN AIRING BY
 t. O. P. SENATOR'S
Senators Think People Should En- dorse Peace Te-ms Enunc:ated
 By President Wilson.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-General discussions regarding the fourteen peace principles laid down by Presi. dent Wilson in his address of Janu. ary 8th and in subsequent addresses was started in the Senate today when Senator Joseph s. Freling- huysen (Republican) of New Jersey made a strong speech advocating the adoption of a resolution re- quiring the President to make a public declaration which will give his interpretation of these prin- ciples.
 These principles, the senator pointed out, are open for interpre- tation by the senators and, he thought, that President Wilson should not make radical proposals on behalf of the people of the United States until he was sure that the people endorsed them.
 Senator Thomas J. Walsh( Demo crat) of Montana, declared that a lack of criticism, until recently, of the fourteen terms enunciated by President Wilson on which peace terms are to be based. justified a general belief in their acceptability by the people. These terms have been accepted by all the nations at war.
 Senator Philander C. Knox (Re- publican) of Pennsylvania, and Sen ator Miles Poindexter Republican, of Washington, sharply dissented.
