"You catch. with inc. the voices of
humanity that are In the air. They
Brow dally more audible, more articu
late, tuorc porsuasive, and they come
from the hearts of men every \v licit*.
1 liey insist that the war shall not cml
in vindictive action of any kind; that
no Mutton or is'oplc shall be robbed or
punished because lrre*i?onslblo rule re
of a single country have themselves
done deep and abominable wrong. It
is this thrwght that lias iweu expressed
in the formula. 'No annexation, no con*
InHiUtioitg, no punitive indemnities.'
Jut* liecause this crude formula cx
pre*wes -the instinctive judgment as to
right of plain men everywhere it has
been made diligent use of by the mas
ters of German Intrigue to lead jk*o
ple of Russia astray ? and the people of
every other country thctr agents could
reach, in order that a premature jieaee
might be brought about before autocra
cy bus been taught its final ami con
vincing lesson, and the people of the
worjd j ait in control of their own des
tinies.
"But the fact -that a wrfing use has
l>eeii made of a just idea is no reason
.?why a right use should not Ik? made of
It. It ought to be brought under tliej
putropnge of its real friends. I^t It
in* said again that autocracy must first
lie shown the utter futility of Its claims I
to power or leadership tn the mo{ltM|i i
world. It Is huvpossihle to apply- any;
standard of Justice so loiig as such
forces are . unchecked and undefeated
as the present masters of Germany,

done can right Ik* set up as arbiter and
peacemaker among the nations. Hut
when that has been done ? as, Gotl will
ing, It assuredly will Ik- ? we shall at
hist lm free to (hi an unprecedented
'thing, 1 this is the time to ft vow our
puftiose to do It. We shall be free to
base i>eace on geuerosity and justice, to
the exclusion of all seltish claims to ad
mntage even on the i>art of the victors.
"Let there be no uiisuiiderstandtag.
ihir present ami immediate task Ism to
win the war, ami nothing slmll turii iks
aside from it until It Is accomplished.
Every power and resource we i>ossess,
whether of men. of money, or of ma
terials. is being devoted and will con
tinue to lie devoted to that. puri>ose un
til It Is achieved. Those who desire
to bring jieaee alamt liefore that pur
pose is achieved I counsel to carry
their advih-e elsewhere. We wilL. not
.entertahi It. We shall regard the war
ns won only when the German iieople
say to us. through properly accredited
representatives^ that they are ready to
agree to a settlement based U|hmi Jus
tice and the reparation of the wrongs
of Belgium must be repaired. They
have established a |K>wer over other
lands and peoples than their own ?
over the great empire of Austria-Hun
gary, over hitherto free Balkan states,
over Turkey, ami within Asia ? which
must Ik* relinquished.
"<Tenuany'H success by skill, by in
dustry. by knowledge, by enterprise we
did not grudge or oppose, but admired,
rather. She has built up for herself a
real empire of trade and influence, se
cured by the i?eaee of the world. We
were content to abide the rivalries of
manufacture, science and commerce
-that were involved for us in her suc
cess and stand or fall as we had or did
not have the grains and the initiative
to surpass her. But at the moment
when she liad conspicuously ^on her
triumphs of pence rt\e threw them
away, to establish in their stead what
the world will -no longer jiermlt to l>e
established, military and political dom
ination by arms, by which to oust
where she could not excel the rivals
she most feared nnd hated. The peace
.we make must remedy tliat wrong. It
luuMt deliver the on<*> fair lands and
, happy peoples of Belguim and north
ern France from the Prussian conquest
and tli? Prussian menace, but it must
I alsd\deliver tm* people of Autfria-Hun
? gary, the people of the Balkans sn/f the
'pSoij^s of Turkey, alike in Europe nnd
! in Asia, from the impudent and* alien
domination of the Prussian military
and commercial autocracy.'^
"We mVe It however, to ourselves
to say tliat we do not wish in any way
! to impair or to rearrange the Austro
I Hungarian empire. It rs no affair of
ours what they do with their own life,
either industrially or iwlitically. We
do not purpoee or desire to dictate. to
them in any way. We only desire to
see "that their affairs are left in their
own hands. In all matters, great or

their own lives safe, tfteir own for

justice and from the dictation of for

regard to Germany herself are of a
like kind. We intend no wrong against

lutely unjustifiable, alwwlutely contra

i to live by and to hold most sacred
{throughout our life as a nation.
"The. |>eople of Germuny are being
i told by the men whom they now j>er

! masters that they are fighting for the
| very life and existence of their empire
a war of desperate self-defense against,
delllternte aggression, Nothing could
l>c more grossly or wantonly false, and
ive must seek by the utmost openness
and candor as to our real alms to
convince them of its falseness. We
are, in fact, fighting for their emanci
pation from fear, along with our own
? from the fear as well as from the fact
of unju*t attack by neighbors -or rivals
or schemers after world empore. No
one is threatening the existence or the ;
fndejiendenee of tho |?eaceful enter

"The worst that cain happen to the
detriment of the German people is
this, that if they shoutrt stIU, after the
war is over, continue to be obliged to
