this time to discuss u foreign rela.

message OF America is n OF cordia.
friendship to all nations. We have
no questions which mutual good will
and the processes of reason cannot
solve. We have no subtleties. no du-
plicity Of meaning. no soft words TO
concea a purpose OF self.aggrandize-
ment at others expense. The only
method of diplomacy we know is that
OF candid discussion OF the merits Of
problems. This. we think. is the way
10 prosper a cause believed to be just
and we shall advance no other.
4, THE world is settling down. but Z
is not yet settled. The counsel Of
power and expediency still dominate
as the serious problems left by the
great war press for solution. This
country seeks not an acre of terri
tory by reason OF its participation IN
the struggle that led to- victory. Nor
do we wish any exclusive advantages
in the possessions which as a result
of the war have passed under new
control. We simply ask that we shall
not be excluded from equal privileges
wherever U interests are affected.
That seems to US to be a reasonable
~posiuon."
