Wilson's Attitude on Peace
Terms characterized by

clares the Observer, d weekly news
paper. ssP&a
"President Wilso:.' s stand for that
method is one of the strongest things
in his career says the paper. His
attitude is full of moral shrewdness.
If he is to give some of the allies
what they most want-America' sig
nature to a guaranteed peace--the
allies must give him what he most
wants-the league and the main ar
tcles in its covenant.
"There is no question that he is
right. No league-no peace FOR long.
Without some new principle of as

people.
