Text Of Address.
The president spoke In part as fol-
lows:
my Fellow Citizens: I am not here
to promote the loan. That will be done
ably and enthusiastically done-by
the hundreds of thousands of loyal and
tireless men and women who have un-
dertaken to present It to you and to
our fellow citizens throughout the
country. and have not the least doubt
Of their complete success, for know
their spirit and the spirit Of the coun-
Try.
mo man or woman who has really
taken In what this war means can hes
itate to give to the very limit Of what
they have.
"And It 10 my mission here to try to
make clear once more what the war
really means. You will need no other
stimulation.
I'VE accepted the issues Of the war
a. facts. not ~ any group Of men
either here or elsewhere had defined
them. and We can accept NO outcome
which does not squarely meet and set
tie them.
The Ware Issues.
Those Issues are these:
"Shall the military power Of any ma.
lion or group Of nations be suffered to
determine the fortunes Of peoples over
whom they have no right to rule e.
eept the right of force1
SHALL strong nations BE- free to
wrong weak nations and make them
subject to their purpose and INTEREST,"
"Shall people be ruled and dominat-
ed. even in their own internal affairs,
BY arbitrary and irresponsible force,
or by their own will and choice?
"Shall there be q common standard
Of right and privilege for all peoples
and nations or shall the strong do a.
they will and the weak suffer without
redressf
"Shall the assertion Of right be hap
hazard and BY casual alliance or shall
there be common concert to obliss
the Observance Of common rightsl
mo man. no group Of men. chose
these to be the issues Of the struggle.
They are the issues Of II, and they
must be settled BY NO arrangement or
compromise or adjustment Of interests.
but definitely and once for all and with
. full and unequivocal acceptance Of
the principle that the interest Of the
weakest Ii a. sacred a. the Interest Of
the strongest.
Enemy Without Honor.
This Is what we mean when W
speak Of . permanent peace, II we
speak sincerely. intellIEently. and
with Q real knowledge and comprs-
hension Of the matter we deal with.
I'VE are all agreed that there
can be no peace obtained by any
hind Of bargain or compromise with
the governments Of the central EN-.
plres. because We have dealt with
them already and have seen them
deal with other governments that were
party to this struggle. at Brest.I.itovsk
and Bucharest.
'"They have convinced US that
they are without honor and do not
intend Justice. They Observe no
covenants. accept no principle bdt
force and their own interests.

we cannot come to terms with
them. They have made II impossible.
THE German people must by this
time be fully aware that We cannot
accept the word Of those who forced
this war upon "a. We do not think
