PRESIDENTS STATEMENT
OPPOSING CLAIMS OF ITALY

the nations that know nothing of
the pact of London or of any other
special understanding that lies at
the beginning of this great strug-
gle, and who have made their su-
preme sacrifice also in the inter
est. not of national advantage or
defense. but of the settled peace Of
the world, are now united with
her older associates in urging her
to assume a leadership which can
not be mistaken in the new order
of Europe.
U. S. asaly's Friend.
America is ItaIy's friend. Her
people are drawn. millions strons.
from 1taly's own fair country
sides. She is linked in blood, as
we'll as in affection, with the Ital-
Ian people. Such ties can never
be broken. And America was
privileged. by the generous COM
mission of her associates in the
war. to initiate the peace we are
about to consummate-to initiate
1t upon terms which she had her
self formulated and in which l
was her spokesman.
THE compulsion is upon her to
square every decision she takes
d part in with those principles.
She can do nothing else She
trusts Italy, and in her trust be-
lieves that Italy will ask nothing
of her that cannot be made un
mistakably consistent with those
sacred obligations.
''The interests are not now in
question, but the rights Of peo-
= pies. of states, new and old. of
liberated peoples and peoples
whose rulers have never account
ed them worthy of a right: above
all. the right of the world to
peace and to such settlement of
interest as shall make peace Sc
cure
These. and these only, are the
principles for which America has
fought. These, and these only.
are the principles upon which she
can consent to make peace. Only
upon these principles, she hopes
and believes, will the people of
Italy ask her to make peace"

light upon what is involved in their

ing statement will contribute to
the final formation of opinion and
to a satisfactory solution:
When Italy entered the war she
entered upon the basis of def1-
mite private understanding with
Great Britain and France, now
known as the pact of London. Since
that time the whole face of cir
cumstances has been altered. Many
other powers. great and small,
have entered the struggle. with no
knowledge of that private under
standing.
Empire in Pieces.
The Austro-Hungarian empire.
then the enemy of Europe, and at
whose expense the pact Of London
was to be kept in the event of VIC
tory, has gone to pieces and no
longer exists. Not only that. but
the several parts of that empire,
1T is agreed now by Italy and an
her associates, are to be erected
into Independent states and asso-
ciated in a league of nations. not
with those who were recently our
enemies. but with Italy herself ana
