I COULD have his room.

President Wilson's Speech at
the Guildhal in London

1t was that France must always
remember that the small and the
weak could never live free in the
world unless power and their
strength in the service Of right.
''That is the afterthought,. the
thought that something must be
done now, not only to make the
Just, setlements-that Of course
but to see that the settlements
remained and were observed and
that honor and justice prevailed
in the world.
"And as | have couversed with
the soldiers | have been more and
more aware that they fought for
something that not all Of them had
defined, but which all Of them
recognized the moment you stated
it to them. They fought to do away
with an old order and to estab-
lish new one, and the centre and
characteristic Of the old order was
that unstable thing which we used
to call the the balance Of power =
thig in which the balance was
determined by the sword which
was thrown in on the one side OF
the other; balance which was de-
tcrmined by the unstable equili'
bfium of competitive interest; a
balance which was maintained by
! jealous watchfulness and an anita
gonism of interests which, thought
it was generally latent, was always
deep-seated.
''The men who have fought in
this war have been the men from
the free nations who are determine
ed that that sort of thing should
end now and forever. 1t is very
interesting to me to observe how
from every sort Of mind, from
every concert Of counsel there
comes the suggestion that there
must now be, not balance Of
power, not one powerful group oi
nations set UP against another
but a single overwhelming, power

There was surely there the deep
gratefulness that the fighting had

that sort Of gratitude that the ma
tions engaged had produced such
men as the soldiers of Great Britain
and of the United States and OF
France and Of Italy-men whose
prowess and achievements they
had witnessed with rising admira-
tion as they moved from culmlna-
