For this program, based upon tho righting <?f .wronfcs and the safety of reaccdovinu peoples desiring to live their own lives, the President commit ted tjie .United States r<> tight and eon ' tlnue to light until it is accomplished. Thus ho inniged tin* country to the Allies' policy of no separate peace. "We cannot bo separated in Interest or divided In purpose," he said. "We stand together to the and." The President s]>oko ns follows: Centloiuftn of the Congress: Once more, as repeatedly before, the BlK.k^meu of the Central Empires have indicated their desire to discuss the objects of the war and the pos sible basis of a general peace. Par- , leys have been in progress at Brest Utovsk, between Russian representa tlves and representatives, of the Cen tral Powers to whicti tho attention of ail the beiligorents nave been invited tgf the purpose! of ascertaining winter It be possible to .extend there parleys Into a general conference with regard to terras of peace and set tlement./ The Russian representatives presented not only a perfectly definite statement, of the principles upon which thpy would to willing to conclude peace, bnt ttlito ari equally 'definite program of the Concrete application of thbSe principles, 'the representatives of the Central Powers, on their part, pre sented an outline of settlement which, if much less definite,. seemed suscept ible of liberal interpretation until their specific program of practlca\ terms was. added. That program pro posed no concessions at all, either to tho sovereignty of Russia or to the preferences of the populations with whose fortunes It dealt, but meant, In a word, that the Central Empires were to keep every foot of territory their armed forces had occupied? every province, every city, every point of vantage ? as a permanent addition to their territories and their power.' It is* a reasonable conjecture that- the general principles of settlement which they at first suggested originated with the more liberal statesmen of Ger many and Austria ? the men who have begun to feel the force of their own ? people's thought and purpose, while the concrete terms of actual settle- ? ment came from the military leaders, who have no thought but to keep what they have got The negotiations have been broken off. The Russian repre sentatives were sincere and in earnst They cannot entertain such proposals of conquest and domination. The whole Incident Is full of signifi cance. It is also foil of perplexity, With whom are, the Russian represent atives dealing? For whom are the rep. resentatlve* of the Central Empires speaking? Are they speaking for the , majorities of their respective parlia ment* or for the minority parties, that military and imperialistic minority - wfliob has *o'ufar dominated their trfcole policy and controlled the affairs of Turkey and the "Balkan State, wnlch_ have UHt obliged to become their asso ciates in this war? The Russian ref* resentatives have Insisted , very justly, very wisely, and in. the true spirit of modern democracy, " that the confer ences tbey have been holding with the Ten tonic and Turkish statesmen should be held within open, not closed, dioora, and all thewortd has been audience, as was desired. To whom hdle we been listening, then?- To those who speak the spirit and Intention of the resolutions of the German Reichstag of the ?th of July last the spirit and Intention Ihe Liberal leaders and . parties of Germany, or to those who reirfst and defy that spirit and Intent Hon, and Insist open conqneat and fenb Jugation? Or, are we listening, la fact to both, nnreosndled, and ib open ud "nunf ire*' iwj wrtau'ttd
