DOES NOT RECOMMEND WAR
AGAINST BULGARIA AND
TURKEY AT PRESENT.
PEACE IS OUT OF IjilESTIOII
Nothing Shall Turn United States

Washington.?Immediate declaration
of war against Austria-Hungary was
recommended to congress by President
Wilson.
The president did not, however, recommend
a declaration of war against
Turkey and Bulgaria at this time.
Immediate war against Austria, the
president told congress, was necessary
to meet the anomalous situation th*
United States faces in its war with
Germany even though, he declared,
j Austria was not her own mistress and
'merely a vassal of Germany.
The same logic, he said, would be to
war against Turkey and Bulgaria. But
they do not yet, he added, stand in the
path of th? United States in its war
against Prussian autocracy.
; In ringing and definite terms, the
J 1 J J-T ? - A.T_ S 11

Iturn the United States aside until the
-war is won and Germany is beaten. All
Italk of peace he pronounced out of the
"question.
Peace, Jhe president declared, could
jcome only when the German people
(make it through rulers the world can
trust; when they make reparation for
(the destruction their present rulfcrs
lhave wrought and when Germany recedes
from all the territory acquired
jby armed conquest.
" The president spoke as follows:
-Gentlemen of the Congress:
Eight months have elapsed since I
last had the honor of addressing you.
,They have been months crowded with
?vents of immense and grave singifl/
Icance for us. I shall not undertake to
detail, or even to summarize those
AtrAnfc TIIQ nro ntinol T\O rfinnlore nf
wuvq. x ug yiav/uvai vt
the part we have played in them will
ibe laid before you in the reports of the
Executive departments. I shall discuss
only our present outlook upon these
vast affairs, our present duties, and
Ithe immediate means of accomplishing
the objects we shall hold always in
lew. %
, , ? .. _ If i, , , , .
i snau not go DacK 10 aeoaie tne
causes of the war. Intolerable wrongs
done and plannediargainst us by the
ministers masters have long since become
too grossly obvious and odious
to every true American to need to be
rehearsed.
But I shall ask you to consider again
?nd with a very grave scrutiny our
objectives and the measures by which
we mean to attain them; for the purpose
of discussion here in this place
is action, and our action must move
straight towards definite ends. Our
object is, of course, to win the war;
and we shall not slacken or suffer our
selves to be diverted until it is won.
But it is worth while asking and answering
the question, when shall we
consider the war won?
From one point of view it is not
necessary to broach this fundamental
matter. I do not doubt that the American
people know what the war is
About and what sort of an outcome
ithev will rezard as & realization of
their purpose in it. As a nation we are
*inited in spirit and intention. I pay
little heed to those who tell me otherwise.
I hear the voices of dissent?
who does not? I hear the criticism
% *. . ?
cuxd the clamour of the noisily thoughtless
and troublesome. I also see men
here and there fling themselves in impotent
disloyalty against the calm, indomitable
power of the nation. I hear
men debate peace who understand
neither its nature nor the way in which
we may attain it with uplifted eyes
J VhaVavi enii>Ha
uiu uiiuiuacu oymw.
But I know that none of these speaks
for the nation. They do not touch the
heart of anything. They may safely
be left to strutt their uneasy hour and
be forgotten.
But from another point of view I
believe that it is necessary to say
v plainly what we here at the seat of
action consider the war to be for and
what part we mean to play in the settlement
of its searching issues. We are
the spokesmen of the American people
and they have a right to know whether
their DurDOse is ours. They desire
peace by the overcoming of evil, by the
defeat once for a!4 of the sinister
forces that interrupt peace and render
It impossible, and they wish to kno-*v
how closely our thought runs with
theirs and with the action we propose.
They are impatient with those who deBire
peace by any sort of compromise?
deepl yand indignantly Impatient?but
they will be equally impatient with ua
it we do not make it plain to them
what our objectives are and what we
are planning tor m seeKing to mase
conquest of peace bv arms.
I believe that I speak for them when
I say two things: First, that this intolerable
thing of which the masters
of Germany have shown us the ugly
Iface. this menace of combined intrigue
and force which we now see so clearly
as the German power, a thing without
consc'e^ce or honor or capacity for
covenanted peace, must be crushed
and. if it be not utterly brought to
an enu, at least aiiut out from tfie
friendly intercourse oi the nations;
and, second, that when this thing and
its powers are indeed defeated and the
time comes that we can discuss peace
?when 'the German people have
spokesmen whose wora we can believe
and when those spokesmen are ready
in the name of tehir people to accept
the common judgment of the nations
^ ~ 1 ? S /".A T* f" 1A \\Ck tllO
HJ5 tO Wlldl SLUUl ucnv.ci.ui iu uv i.uw
basis of law and of covenant for th^
life of .the worlu?we shall be willing
and glad to pay the full price for
peace, and pay it ungrudgingly: We
know what that price will be. It will
be full, impartial justice?justice done
at every point and to every nation
that the final settlement must affect,
our enemies as well as our friends.
You catch, with me, the voices of
humanity that are in the air. They
grow daily more audible, more articulate,
more persuasive and they come
from the hearts of men everywhere.
They insist that the war shall not end
in vindictive action of any kind; that
no nation of people shall be robbed or
punished because the irresponsible
rulers of a single country have themselves
done deep and abominable
wrong. It is this thought that has been
expressed in the formula, "No annexations,
no contributions, no punitive indemnities."
Just because this crude
formula expresses the instinctive judgment
as to right of plain men every
where, it has been made diligent use
of by the masters o* German intrigue
to lead the people of Russia astray?
and the people of every other country
their agents could reach, in order that
a premature peace might be brought
about be So re autocracy has been
taught its final and convicing lesson,
and the neoDie of the world ^ut in
control of their own destinies.
But the fact that a wrong use haa
been made of a just idea is no reason
why a right use should not be made
of it. It ought to be brought under the
patronage of its real friends. Let it
be said again that autocracy must
first De snown tne utter muui; ui ko
claims to power of leadership in the
modern world. It is impossible to apply
any standard of justice so long as
such forces are unchecked and undefeated
as the present masters of Germany
demand. Not until that has been
done can right be set up as arbiter
and peacemaker among the nation.
But when tliat has been done?as, uoa
willing, it assuredly will be?we shall
at last be free to do an unprecedented
thing, and this is the time to avow
our purpose to do it. We shall be free
to base peace on generosity and justice,
to the exclusion of all selfish
claims to advantage even on the part
of the victon.
Li&l LQ&TtS IJH I1U til Iftuuuci oioaumfe.
Our present and immediate task is to
win the war, and nothing shall " -to
us aside from it until it is accc. ^ ^hed.
Every power and resource we possess,
whether of men, of money, or of
materials, is being developed and will
continue to be devoted to that purpose
until it is achieved. Those who
desire to bring peace about before
that purpose is achiered, I counsel to
carry their advice elsewhere. We will
not entertain it. We shall regard the
war as won only when the German
people say to us, through properly accredited
representatives, that they are
ready to agree to a settlement based
upon justice and the' reparation of

They have done a wrong to Belgium
which must be repaired. They have established

Germany's success.by skill, by industry,
by knowledge, by enterprise we
did not grudge or oppose, but admired,
rather. She had built up for herself a
real empire or trade ana mnuence, secured
by tte peace of the world. We
were content to abide the rivalries of
manufacture, science and commerce
that were involved for us in her success
and stand or fall as we had or did
not have the brains and the initiative
to surpass her. But at the moment:
when she had conspicuously won her'
triumphs of peace, she threw them
away, to establish in their stead what
the world will no longer permit to be
established, military ^id political dom- j
ination by arms, by which to oust
where she could not excell the rivals
she most feared and hated. The peace
we make must remedy that wroDg. It
must deliver the once rair lands and

quest and the Prussian menace, but it
must also deliver the people of Austria-Hungary.
the peoples of the Balkans,
and the peoples of Turkey, alike
in Europe andin Asia, from the impudent
and alien domination of the Prussian
military and commrrcial autocracy.
We owe it, nowsver, 10 ourselves lo
say that we do not wish in any way to
Impair or to rearrange the AustroHungarian
empire. It is no sffair of
ours what they do with their own life,
either industrially or politically. We
do not propose 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
smalL We shq.ll hope to secure for tno
people of the Turkish empire the right
and opportunity to make their own
lives safe, their own fortunes secure
against oppression or injustice and
from the dictation of foreign courti or
i
parties.
And our attitude and purpose with
regard to Germany herself are of a
like We Intend no wrong
against the German empire, no Intertorence
with her internal affairs. We
should deem either the one or t&a 1
other ftbsolu'ely unjustifiable, abso- ( '
lutely contrary to the principles we < 3
have professed to live by and to hold ; ]
most sacred throughout our life as a
nation. ! *
The people of Germany are bein^ | 1
told by the men whom they now per-1
mit to deceive them and to act as '
their masters that they are fighting 1
for the very life and existence 01 their
empire, a war of desperate self- 3
defense against deliberate aggression 1
Nothing could be more grossly or !
wantonly false, and we must seek by J
the utmost openness and candour as 1
to our real aims to convince them of i
its falseness. We are, in fact, fight- 1
ing for their emancipation from fear, ]
along with our own?from the foar J
as well as from the fact of unjust at- <
tack by neighbors or rivals or schem- 1
ers after world empire. No one is ]
threatening the existence or the in- i
dependence or the peaceful enterprise <
of the German empire. j ?
The worst that can happen to tho 1
detriment of the German people is 1
this, that if they should still, after 1
the war is over, continue to be oblig- (
ed to Mve under ambitious and in- 1
triguing masters interested to dis- 1
turb the peace^of the world, men or '
classes of men whom the other peo- ?
Dies of the world could not trust, it t
might be impossible to admit theni 1
to the partnership of nations which t
must henceforth guarantee the t
world's peace. That partnership must i
be a partnership of peoples, not a i
mere partnership of governments. It 1
might be impossible, also, in such t
untoward circumstances, to admit c
Germany to the free economic inter- t
course which must inevitably spring
out of the other partnerships of a
real peace. But there would be no 1
aggression in that; and such a situa- *
tion, inevitable because of distrust, *
would in the very nature of things 1
sooner or later cure itself by pro- (
cesses which would assuredly set in. *
Te wrongs, the very deep wrongs, 1
commuted in this w&r will Lave to be *
righted. That, of course. But they
: nut and must net be righted by the (
commission of similar wrongs against t
Germany ana ner aines. ine worm win (
not permit the commission of similar t
wrongs as a means of reparation and j
settlement. Statesmen must b* this j
time have learned that the opinion of t
the world is everywhere wide awake
and fully comprehends the issues involved.

and compromise as were
entered into at the congress of Vienna.
The thought of the plain people here;
j and everywhere throughout the world,!
the people who enjoy no privilege and
have very simple and unsophisticated
standards of right and wrong, is the
air all governments must henceforth
breathe if they would live. It is in the
full disclosing light of thai thought 1
that all policies must be conceived and 1
executed in this mid-day hour of the *
world's life. German rulers have been *
able to upset the peace of the world *
only because the German people were ]
not suffered under tneir tutelage to 1
share the comradeship of the other j
peoples of the world either in thought ^
or in purpose. They were allowed to 2
have no opinion of their own which j
might be set up as a rule of conduct; c

i eludes this war will feel the full *
I 1
i strength of the tides that run now in ^
the hearts and consciences of free men; ^
everywhere. Its conclusions wii! run| j
with those tides. I j
! All tnese tnings nave Deen xrue trom i
the very beginning of this stupen-J r
| dous war; and I cannot *ielp thinking c
! that if they had been made plain at ; a
the very outset the sympathy and en- j i
thusiasm of the Russian people might'
have been once for all enlisted on the
side of the allies, suspicion and distrust
swept away, and a real and last-i
ing union of purpose effected. Had
tney believed these thrags at the e
very moment of their revolution and s
| had they been confirmed to that belief c
! since, the sad reverses which have recently
marked the progress of their.
^affairs towards an ordered and stable J
government of free men might have a
been avoided. The Russian people 1
have been poisoned by the very same | ^
falsehoods that have kept the German j
tiecw>le in the dark and the poison ha? s
been administered by the very same t
hands. The only possible antidote is d
the truth. It cannot be uttered too a
plainly or too often. j o
j From every point of view, therefore, t
it has seemed to be my duty to speak
these declarations of purpose, to add h
these specific interpretations to what n
I took the liberty oT saying to the b
senate in January. Our entrance into ^
the war xhas not altered our attitude tl
towards the settlement that must come P
when it is over. When I said in January
that the nations of the world were s
entitled not only to free pathways s'
upon the sea but also to assured and "
unmolested access to those pathways, a
I was thinking, and I am thinking
now, not of the smaller and weaker c'
nations alone, which need our counte- a
nance and support, but also of the p
great and powerful nations, and of our
present enemies as well as our pres- Cl
ent associates in the war. I was think- Cl
ing and am thinking now, of Austria e'
herself, among the rest, as well as of a
Serbia and of Poland. Justice and e
equality of rights can be had only at t!
a great price. We are seeking perma- ?
nen-t, not temporary, foundations for
the peace of the world, and must seek c<
them candidly and fearlessly. As always,
the right will prove to be the 0
)ezped!ei>t. c<
What shall w* do, then, to push w
tills great war of freedom anil justice 9
to its righteous conclusion? We mu*l
:*lear away with a thorough hand al
impediments to success and we musi
make every adjustment of law thai
will facilitate the full and free us*; ol
our whole capacity and force as c
fighting unit.
One very embarrassing obstacle
that stands in our wav is that we are
zt war with Germany, but not witl
tier allies. I therefore very earnest!}
recommend that the congress imme
iiately declare the United States in ?
state of war with Austria-Hungary
Does it seem strange to you that this
should be the conclusion of the argu
cnont I have just addressed to you'
Dt is not. It is in fact the inevitable
logic of what I have said. Austria
Hungary is for the time being not hei
)wn mistress but simply the vassal oJ
Lhe German government. We musl
Eace the facts as they are and aci
lpon inem witnuui semiiueiu m mx
stern business. The government o:
A.ustria-Hungary is not acting upor
;ts own initiative or in response tc
:he wishes and feelings of its owl
peoples but as the instrument of an
>ther nation. We rr'st its force
svith our own and regard the centra
powers as but one. The war can be
successfully conducted in no othei
vay. The same logic would lead alsc
;o a declaration of war against Tur
tey and Bulgaria. They also are the
;oo!s of Germany. But ttiey are mere
ools and do not yet stand in the di
ec?t path of our necessary action. We
shall go wherever the necessities ol
;his war carry us, but it seems to me
:hat we should go only where imme
liate and practical consideration leac
is and not heed any others.
The financial and military measures
?rhich must be adopted will suggesl
.hemselves as the war ans its under
akin^s develop, but I will take the
iberty of proposing to you certair
)ther acts of legislation which seen;
o be so needed :?or the support of the
,var and for the release of our whole
lorce and energy.
It will be necessary to extend ii
certain particulars the legislation ol
he last session with regard to aliei:
jnemies; and also necessary, I believe
.0 create a very definite and particu
ar control over th entrance and de
jarture of all persons into and from
he United States.
Legislation should be enacted defin
ng as a criminal offense every wilful
violation of the presidential proclama
ions relating to alien enemies promul
*ated under Section 4067 of the re
rised statutes and providing appro
?riate punishments ;and women as
veil a3 men should be included andei
;he terms of the acts placing re
rtraints upon alien enemies. It is like
y that as time goes on many alien
;nemies will be willing to be fed and
loused at the expense of the govern
nent in the detention camps and it
vill be the purpose of the legislatior
have suggested to confine offenders
imong them in penitentiaries and oth
2r similar institutions where thej
:ould be made to work as other crim
nals do.
Recent experience has convinced m
hat the congress must go further in
luthorizing the government to set lim
ts to prices. The law of supply anc
lemand, I am sorry to say, has beer
eplaced by the laws of unrestrained
selfishness. While we have eliminated
>rofiiteering in several branches of in
lustry, it still runs impudently ram
j. rpv, ^
Jiliu m OLUOiTi. J. ue ieu uieiJ., IUI tMdm
>le, complain with a great deal oi
ustice that, while the regulation ol
ood prices restricts their incomes, nc
estraints are placed upon the prices
>f most of the things they must them
lelves purchase ;and similar inequal
ties obtain on all sides.
It is imperatively necessary thai
he consideration of the full use of the
vaiter power of the country and also
he consideration of the systematic
md yet economical development oi
;uch of the natural resources of the
ountry as are still under the coilrol
of the federal government should
>e immediately resumed and affirmaively
and constructively dealth with
,t the earliest possible moment. The
ires sing need of such legislation is
ally becoming more obvious.
The legislation proposed at the last
ession with regard to regulated comlinations
among our exporters, in or!er
to provide for our foreign trade a
aore effective organization and methd
of co-operation, ought by all means
o be completed at this session.
And I beg that the members of the
ouse of representatives will permit
ie to express the opinion -:hat it will
e impossible to deal in any but a very
wasteful and extravagant fashion with
tie enormous appropriations of the
ublic moneys which must continue
3 be made, if the war is to be properly
ustained, unless the house will conent
to return to its former practice of
iifiofinty n rl nrpnarinc all annrnnri
iitiuniif, r* -r- tion
bills through a single committee,
l order that responsibility may be
entered, expendtures standardized
nd made uniform and waste and dulication
as much as possible avoided.
Additional legislation ma.y also beDme
necessary before the present
Dngress adjourns again in order to
ffect t?e, most efficient co-ordination
nd operation of the railway and otnr
transportation systems of the coun*y;
but to that I shall, if circumtances
should demand, call, the attenon
of the congress upon another ocasion.
If I have overlooked anything that
Light to be done for the mere effective
induct cf the war, your own counsels
111 supply the omission. What I am
erfectly clear about is that in the
t I
j! present session of the congress ovr
| whole attention and energy should b-?
1 i concentrated on the vigorous, rapid
and successful nrosecution of the great
11 task cf winning the war.
i
We can do this with all the greater
i zeal and enthusiasm because we know
, that for us this is a war of high prinj
ciple, debased by no selfish ambition
, of conquest or spoliation; because we
.! know, and all the world knows, that
t i we have been forced into it to save
I the very instittuions we live under
. from corruption and destruction. Thj
purposes of the central nowers strike
. straight at the very heart of everything
we believe in; their methods of
warfare outrage every principle of hu.!
manity and of khightly honor; their
j' Intrigue has corrupted the very
^! thought and spirit of many of our people;
their sinister and secret diplomacv
has sought to take our very ter'
ritory away from us and disrifpt the
1 union of the states. Our safety would
1 be at an end, our honor forever sullied
} and brought into contempt were we to
1 permit their triumph. They are striking
at the very existence of democracy
; and liberty. I
1
} It is because it is for us a war of
. high, disinterested purpose, in which
j all the free peoples of the world are
banded together for the vindication or
right, a war for the preservation of our
nation and of all that it has held deai
i
of principle and of purpose, that we
feel ourselves doubly constrained to
' propose for its outcome only that
