WITHOUT VICTORY

There WOS pOint curing t''e '!S'

vonced the suggestion thot the best
outcome Of thot war would be "Peoce
without victory" Only q little more
thon two months before he came to
the American Congress asking dec
lorotion Of war on Germany, he came
to the Senote to propose Peoee.
Since it has been proposed by sew
erol sources, most recently by John
Cudohy former U. S. diplomat, that
the United Stotes ought to toke the
leod in nokino some kind Of peace pro-
posoI. let's review the Wilson proposal.
Wilson argued that no worthwhile
peoce could be arranged without the
United States and other American no.
tions taking port. First Of olI. he
went on, 1T must be peoce without
victory Victory would mean peace
forced upon the loser, Q victor's terms
imposed upon the vonquished. Only
peoce between equals can lost
After this prophetic warning, Will
son then envisioned his Peoce. An in
ternotionoI organization to creote and
Jointly administer peace. Disormo-
ment. Territorial adjustment bosed
on national needs and rights. Free
dom of the secs. Equal rights for oil
nations, small and weak. greet and
"a Neither side seriously considered
Wilson's proposals.
Would such proposals, made now,
have any influence in Europe? Is
either side in any mood to listen to
them? Could the peoples to whom they
might be addressed be reached ct oil?
Would German government which
hos won en- uninterrupted string OF
victories for two years be inclined to
listen to any terms which implied Civ
ing freedom back to peoples from
whom they have stolen it, and whom
they have declored unworthy to possess
it? Could terms be devised which
would make the British peoples feel
secure, or any peoples in the world feel
secure, as long as so terrible militory
force as thot developed by the Nozis
remains?
And most ,importont Of oil, does
either side want peoce badly enough
to make sacrifices to get it? Would
either side be willing to embroce q for
mulo Of "peoce without victory?
The Obstacles which baked Will
sons proposal in 1917 ore doubled and
redoubled today. Yet if some eoder
we're oble to put before the peoples Of
the world q project for workable peoce,
who knows whot response he might
grouse?

WASHINGTON, Aug ~
When the war Is, over and

Of the fuseIoee, the pickup

Government reform leaders In
Detroit have been getting their
heads together during the past
week on a plan for the formation
of a militant citizens committee
10 tackle the job Of cleaning up
the Common Council bribery
mess.
Members of such groups as the
Detroit Citizens League, the Blu
reau of Governmental Research,
the Board of Commerce, church,
veteran. fraternal and labor groups
are discussing the posS1nIi1ty OF
such q move.
So far the plan is still in the
conversation stage. and as the
September primary is more than
five months away, there probably
will not be any official moves for
several months.
